Tools: The people of this age used microliths. Microliths are very small in size and their lengths range from 1 to 8 cm. Backed blade, core, point, triangle, lunate and trapeze are the main Mesolithic tools. However, some tools used earlier, like scraper, burin and choppers, continue
3)Hunter-gatherers travelled from place to place due to the following reasons: If they stayed at one place for a long time, they would have eaten up all the plant and animal resources available at that place. As animals move from place to place in search of food, hunters also moved to chase them for hunting.
