Answer:
The techniques used by early humans to make stone toos are :-
- Stone on stone - In this technique, a heavier stone was used as a hammer to strike off flakes from pebble to get the desired shape of the tool.
- Pressure flaking - The technique of pressure flaking involved applying pressure on the pebble with the help of a pointed bone or a stone near the edge of the pebble. This struck off small flakes from the pebble. These flakes were then shaped into desired tools.
