Magazine: Cultures of Prehistory is a magazine about early human tools. Reading it teaches seven recipes for stone and bone tools.
The recipes are Carve Bone Fishing Hook, Knap Stone Awl, Knap Stone Chisel, Knap Stone Drill, Make Improvised Whetstone, Knapp Flint Saw and Carve Whistle. They belong to the Knapping, Carving and Maintenance skills. Together they give a survivor working tools from flint and bone when store-bought tools run out.
The magazine is found in loot, almost only in anthropology classrooms, book stores and university libraries. Reading it also eases boredom and stress.
Uses
The flint recipes come first. Knap Stone Awl has no skill requirement once known and makes an Awl - Stone. Knap Stone Chisel needs Knapping level 1 and uses two Sharp Flint Flake, struck with a hammerstone, mallet or knapping tool. Knapp Flint Saw needs Knapping level 3 and makes a Flint Saw. Knap Stone Drill needs Knapping level 5 and makes a Stone Drill.
Make Improvised Whetstone needs Maintenance level 1. It gives a way to sharpen blades far from any hardware store.
The bone recipes need more skill. Carve Bone Fishing Hook needs Carving level 5 and starts from a Sharp Bone Fragment. A whetstone or file and a sharp knife are kept. Reaching Carving level 7 teaches the hook without the magazine. Carve Whistle needs Carving level 6 and makes a Bone Whistle.
The Bushcrafter trait starts with every recipe here except the whistle. The Whittler trait knows the hook and the whistle. Blacksmith characters know the whetstone.
Like every magazine, it also counts as paper for armour. Make Magazine Body Armor takes eight magazines and four Duct Tape at Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes one magazine and two Duct Tape.

Locations
Anthropology classrooms are the place to look. Their shelves hold it about one time in three, and their counters and desks often too. Book store shelves and university library shelves hold it only now and then. Survivor safehouse shelves and ordinary homes turn one up very rarely.

Notes
- An anthropology classroom is the surest place to find it.
- The Stone Chisel needs only two Sharp Flint Flake and a striking tool.
- Bushcrafter characters already know most of these recipes.
- A read copy still serves as Magazine Body Armor material.
