Tools

Long before you could go to a hardware store to pick out a tool, people made the tools they needed.

Many of the tools were made by striking two rocks together to break off pieces of the rock until it was shaped into a point.

The rocks were then tied to sticks like this hammer and spear.

These tools were used for protection and hunting.
