I'm following this with interest. It's nice to see things slowly improve for the people of Inception, with enough food, shelter, warm clothing, and basic religious needs to go around. Life still has plenty difficult and dangerous, and their existence is the hardscrabble of the Paleolithic, but even so... it's good to see some progress and prosperity, as far as it's possible.

Leather clothing! Another step forward for our quality of life! And the necessary economic infrastructure to support that gain in quality being supported by flint tools. And all the stone we've gained should prove useful in future construction; stone isn't nearly so scarce now that we can mine it up in large quantities. Pity we aren't doing trade- and there's evidence of surprisingly early long-distance trade networks- given that flint in the region gets depleted, but hopefully the flint will last us long enough to get us what we need later.

A long slow stretch, but a village that has managed to secure its place for now- even if hunting and gathering is harder-pressed to supply the current population's needs. Hopefully new innovations will help us keep up with the curve of the challenges presented us, and reduce the odds we suffer catastrophic results from a bunch of lions saying hello.

I agree making it so pottery doesn't involve... making pots is a little odd. I'd think it'd be useful in general for stable-ish storage of various things, not just collecting water. The tech description mentioned something about wells?

Well, life appears to be reasonably stable in Inception, and the population is continuing to grow. The developments this time around are more adaptions to that larger population- helping make sure food sources are secure- rather than true leaps forward in quality of life. But time goes on, and as the population grows, it will eventually allow for the development of new ideas that will lead to better lives...
