Question

lesson summary
the paleolithic age or the old stone age, spanning from the beginning of humankinds existence until about the year 10,000 b.c., is considered to be made up of 4 different stone industries: the oldowan industry, the acheulian industry, the clactonian industry, and the mousterian industry.
the oldowan industry consisted of very rudimentary tools, such as stones used to pound, scrape, or chop things. many of the most common oldowan tools have been coined as pebble tools, the earliest known tools, which were made of very small stones.
next, there is the acheulian industry, consisting of tools that were chipped down to create a thin tool, symmetrically carved on both sides. one of the most cited of the acheulian tools are the axe - shaped tools found in saint acheul, france. for this reason, it has also been referred to as the \axe industry.\
very similar to the acheulian industry, the clactonian industry consisted of tools that were notched and grooved, believed to then have been attached to sticks or bones. unlike the acheulian industry, there is no evidence of axes existing in the clactonian industry.
last is the mousterian industry, the youngest of all the paleolithic industries. consisting of many different tools, the mousterian industry is well known for its flake tools, small hand - held tools created by flaking off small pieces of rock, usually flint.
