    Stone Age weapons and tools primarily consisted of rocks that served dual purposes as weapons and tools. Rocks were thrown as weapons or used in clubs, while hand axes could be thrown or used for slicing at close range, and spears were used for stabbing dangerous animals from a distance. Stones were also shaped and modified for various tasks as basic tools, and armor was rudimentary slabs of rock providing some protection as shields. Plows made from antlers, stone, and wood represented early tools for planting and harvesting gardens.

    Weapons and Tools -- Stone Age


    Weapons
    - Rocks were used as weapons AND tools, they threw jagged rocks as weapons. - Club like weapons were not exactly like clubs, but were still used as a weapon. - Hand axes could be used to throw at distant enemies or for slicing close ranged ones; this was used for hunting small animals also. - Spears would be used to stab and poke the enemy, piercing them. This was also used to hunt animals that were dangerous to get close to, such as wooly mammoths and bison.

    Tools
    - Stones were the first types of tools AND weapons used. They would sharpen them, shape them, or modify them however they needed for whatever task they needed done. - Armor at this time was not very protective, it was simple, and something that would be used could be a big slab of rock. This would be a shield, but it would slow you down. - Plows were one of the first tools used for gardening, it was used to plant seeds and harvest the plants later. They made these plows out of antlers, stone, and wood.
