Explanation:The Neolithic Age began at different times around the world sometime between 10,000 and 3,000 BCE. Although farming tools are much different from tools used for hunting, they still needed to be sharp. These new civilizations that arose had to protect themselves from others and from the attacks of wild animals, like wolves. New tools with dual purposes emerged during the Neolithic Age to clear fields for planting and to dig into the soil. Tools and weapons of similar shapes, functions, and compositions were created in Neolithic civilizations around the world.

Neolithic humans had very busy lives without the modern conveniences we enjoy today. Their tools and weapons would have been made by hand, which was time-consuming and painstaking. For these reasons, weapons had to be tools, and tools had to be weapons.

Neolithic tools and weapons that would have characterized the period include:

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.

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.

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.
