Question

Elaborate on the Neolithic tools in three points.

Answer 1

Answer:

Neolithic tools. The Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age, the age of the ground tool, is defined by the advent around 7000 bce of ground and polished celts (ax and adz heads) as well as similarly treated chisels and gouges, often made of such stones as jadeite, diorite, or schist, all harder than flint.

have a nice day

thank you

Answer 2

1. Leaf-shaped flint, which were used as knives and as arrows. Flint stone was abundant during the age, and the stone was malleable and created quickly. Unfortunately, this also meant that it wore down easily and became blunt, rendering it useless.
2. Blades and diggers, which were made from stones and/or bone and were used to field dress animal carcasses and cut through meat, as well as to till fields for planting. They had to be very sharp, which meant that edges had to be sharpened into thin blades. These too wore down quickly or simply broke under constant use.
3. Axes, which were used to cut down trees in the clearing of fields for planting. Created by flaking, they were also used as weapons to defend from attack, either from other people or from animals. Flaking is done by striking a stone repeatedly to wear away at the surface, gradually creating an edge, and then sharpened by using another stub to run away the rough surfaces.
