Question

Differentiate between Core tools and Flake tools? Example

Answer 1

Core tools were made by chipping and shaping large stones. They were usually pear-shaped with sharp edges, like hand axes which were held in the hand and used to cut trees, dig the earth, and shape sticks. Some of these have been found in South India.

Flake tools were tools made from smaller pieces of stone and were used as choppers and cleavers to chop meat and skin animals.
