Gravettian tools

Gravettian tools are stone tools made by early humans around 28,000 to 22,000 years ago, during the Paleolithic period. They are characterized by small, finely crafted blades and points, often used for hunting, cutting, and processing materials. These tools often featured specific shapes like burins (for engraving) and points suited for spears. Advanced techniques, such as pressure flaking, allowed for precise shaping. Gravettian tools reflect improved craftsmanship and adaptability, helping humans hunt more effectively and create versatile implements for daily life. Their sophisticated design marks an important step in human technological development.
