Archaeologists in Israel have identified what may be one of the earliest examples of wheel-like technology ever found.

Pebbles with holes that allow a stick to be inserted to make it easier to spin textiles using flax or wool.

Archaeologists agree that the wheel was invented around 6,000 years ago , although its exact origins are unknown.

Carole Cheval , a researcher with expertise in prehistoric textiles, noted that the finding isn't the oldest evidence of wheel-like technology.

Cheval: "Indeed, indeed, the hypothesis is not original and other similar objects, some older, have been published" Cheval says the objects presented in this article may well be spindle whorls.
