Sorry about that, I didn't see the original reference. That said, neolithic people of that time period have been well studied. Also look a the equivalent of those groups now. Primitive does not mean simple, or stupid. Only the level of technology is different. That said, given the way it was put together, its no wonder they were among the first metal users in Europe. You'd need good tools to work wood that way. Either that or they didn't mind waiting a couple of weeks for a really nicely worked door.
