Answer 1

Hi mate

The paleolithic covers a lot of time so I'm going to compare it to the late upper paleolithic that came imedietly before it, the word Mesolithic refers usually to pre agricultural Holocene cultures from Europe and the middle east, in the upper paleolithic in these regions tools made from long flint flakes called blades where used as well as a variety of bone tools, the Mesolithic saw the first verifiable evidence of bows and arrow and featured extensive use of microliths, tiny blades glued into a slot made in an a shaft used to make sickle blades, and add a sharp or barbed edge on either side of a spear or arrow head, wooden handled adzes and axes also became common as wood supplies increased

• Tools of the old Stone Age were more “coarse”. Things like hand axes large spear points, large cutting abs scraping tools. Big resharpening flakes.

• Over time refinements in flaking technology and tool design lead to the Mesolithic and even greater refinement and tool development into the Neolithic.
