Paleontologists have found Neanderthal stone tools (knapped stone) made with high quality stone taken from kilometers away. This means that they had favorite tools that they wanted to keep with them, while other low quality stones where used few times before being discarded near their collection point

There’s an area in the cascade range (western US, specifically oregon) that is a giant field of knapped obsidian, that was used as a training ground for young knappers, as well as a trading ground to trade knapped obsidian that has been found all over the western US. Not just miles, but many many miles. I’ll see if I can go find a link.
