Lithic assemblages

Lithic assemblages refer to all the stone tools, debris, and related materials found at archaeological sites. They provide insights into how ancient peoples made, used, and discarded tools for tasks like hunting, cutting, or processing materials. Analyzing these assemblages helps researchers understand technological skills, cultural practices, and changes over time within a community. Essentially, it's a collection of stone-based remnants that reveal how early humans interacted with their environment and developed their tool-making techniques.
