Microliths

Microliths are small, flint tools created during the Stone Age, typically measuring a few centimeters in length. They were often used as part of larger composite tools, like arrows or spear points, by fitting several microliths into a wooden handle or shaft. These tools were significant advancements in prehistoric technology, allowing for more efficient hunting and gathering. Microliths demonstrate early human ingenuity in tool-making, reflecting the shift towards more specialized and effective tools as societies evolved. They are commonly found in archaeological sites, providing insights into past human behavior and adaptability.
