Stone tools

Stone tools refer to implements created by humans or their ancestors by shaping stones for various functions, such as cutting, chopping, or scraping. These tools are among the earliest forms of technology and provide insight into the daily lives and survival strategies of prehistoric people. Archaeologists study stone tools to understand human evolution, social organization, and migration patterns. They can be categorized into two main types: unifacial (worked on one side) and bifacial (worked on both sides), with examples including hand axes, blades, and flakes. Stone tools mark significant advancements in human ingenuity and adaptation.
