Tool assemblage

Tool assemblage refers to the collection and variety of tools used or found in a specific archaeological context, such as a site or by a particular group. It includes all types of tools—like stone blades, scrapers, or axes—and reflects the technology, behaviors, and adaptations of the people who made and used them. Studying a tool assemblage helps researchers understand how early humans or societies interacted with their environment, their skills, and their cultural practices. Essentially, it’s a snapshot of their technological toolkit, offering insights into their daily lives and evolution.
