Mesolithic tools

Mesolithic tools are primitive implements used by humans around 10,000 to 8,000 years ago, bridging the gap between the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. Made primarily from stones, wood, and bones, these tools are more refined than earlier ones, often featuring microliths—small, sharpened stone blades. They were used for hunting, fishing, and gathering, reflecting a flexible lifestyle with versatile tools. The Mesolithic period marked advancements in tool technology, including composite tools (combining materials) and better craftsmanship, helping humans adapt to diverse environments as they transitioned toward farming and settled life.
