Mousterian tools

Mousterian tools are a type of stone tools associated primarily with Neanderthals during the Middle Paleolithic period, around 300,000 to 30,000 years ago. They are characterized by their advanced flaking techniques, which allowed for the creation of sharp edges and various shapes, such as scrapers and points. These tools were used for tasks like cutting meat, processing plants, and crafting hides. The Mousterian toolkit reflects a significant development in human technology, showcasing the cognitive and practical skills of Neanderthals in adapting to their environment.
