Flint was the rock most used for making tools but wood, bone, leather and vegetable fibres were also used. Men were hunter gatherers and used these tools to find food around them.
Middle Stone Age
Smaller and finer stone tools were made like arrow and spear heads. These were used for hunting and fishing.
New Stone Age
Tools were still made from stone but different tools were made for harvesting grain.

This meant they could look after land and grow food to eat.
