  1. Stone. The paleolithic era is part of the Stone Age, named for the development of those  primitive stone tools.


  2. Paleo - prefix - Ancient.

    Lithic - stone - ie stone working people. They used stone, bone, wood, and any other natural resources they could make use of. Including pitch and tar.

  3. Usually very simple tools made from rock or bone.. and occasionally a nine -iron.

  4. Tools

    Writings

    Dwellings

  5. Paleolithic people used what was called an oldowan tool for many different purposes: cutting, digging, scraping, etc.  then as time progressed they created the acheulean tool which was bigger and harder to create.  used the same as the oldowan tool, but more efficient.  Later on came the Mousterian tool.  It was a sophisticated tool relatively speaking.  Some of them had serrated edges and was more efficient than the tool before.  In the upper paleolithic period there was an explosion in technology for that era.  This is when the first needle and fish hook appeared.

    Upper Paleolithic tool assemblages include end scrapers, burins (chisel like stones for working bone and ivory), bone points, ivory beads, tooth necklaces, and abstract animal or human figurines. All these imply a parallel refinement in clothing, shelters, utensils, ornament, medicine, nutrition and ritual practices. By this time, then, stone and bone tools supported a great variety of manufacturing activities and almost certainly produced both the division of labor based on gender and age, and a social hierarchy among families within a single group, partly symbolized in the accumulation of valuable possessions and the wearing of different kinds of ornaments.

  6. Rocks

  7. What tools? Bone(s)...

  8. YOUR QUESTION IS ASKED IN A GENERAL WAY SO I WILL ANSWER IT THE SAME WAY. IN GENERAL PALEOLITHIC PEOPLES USED FLINT, BONE AND HORNS OR ANTLERS . THEY WERE SHAPED FOR CERTAIN USAGES.

  9. paleolithic people more especially the lower paleolithic people were the first to use stone tools it wasnt until the neolithic that they started using metal tools

  10. Before writing, people used very sophisticated stone, bone, bamboo, wood, etc tools.  Their are many arrowheads, spear heads, hammers, etc.

  11. The clue is in the "lithic", which means having to do with stone (monolith, e.g.) Paleo means "early", so the answer is "crude stone tools."
