German Stone Age Coalstone Hunter Campfires

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coal&oldid=172487181

An 120,000-year-old Stone Age coalstone hunting camp was discovered in
2005 by archaelogists in an opencast coalstone mine in Germany, its
first known use being campfire cooking fuel for German hunters.

Are coalstone rocks used for cooking anymore?

German Stone Age Coalstone Rocks

In 1997 the new image of early Stone Age ancestors as systematic
hunters of large animals and coalstone rocks, rather than mere
scavengers of meat and wood, emerged in 1997 from a discovery in
Germany that was announced in the journal Nature.

Braunkohle (Lignite)
Flammkohle (Flame coal)
Gasflammkohle (Gas flame coal)
Gaskohle (Gas coal)
Fettkohle (Fat coal)
Esskohle (Forge coal)
Magerkohle (Non baking coal)
Anthrazit (Anthracite)

Examining material excavated in an opencast coal mine near Hanover,
archaeologists found 350,000-year-old wooden spears (3 complete),
carving and mining tools, and the remains of more than 10 horses at
the coalstone rocks hunting basecamp.
