The most common tools used were daggers and spear points, used for hunting, and hand axes, used for cutting up different meats, and scrappers, which were used to clean animal hides. Advances in tool-making and domestic technology led to advances in agriculture.

The fossils of flora and fauna show the presence of grass land. The tools of the upper paleolithic people were made by blade and they showed a marked regional diversity with respect to refinement of the tools and standardisation of finished tools.

Here is a list of some of the important Palaeolithic sites in India. Bori in Maharashtra. Sohan in Punjab now in Pakistan. Belan Valley in Uttar Pradesh.

The tools were made from quartize and also basalt. As the time progressed the Middle Palaeolithic tools were more refined, thinner and lighter.

Stones that were available during this period were comparatively small hence it was also known as microliths. Basalt and quartzite were used to make tools in middle Palaeolithic period. Bar-Yosef O.
