Photograph of stone tools

A collection of six stone tools from the Stone Age, with varying shapes and sizes, laid out on a neutral background. Two of the tools on the top row have distinct notches and varied forms, possibly used for specific functions. Below, there are four elongated tools with symmetrical, tapered ends suggesting they might have been used as blades or cutting implements. The stone tools exhibit a textured surface indicative of flint knapping techniques used by early humans to create functional edges.
