Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Acheulian stone tool industry is characterized by bifacially flaked tools, along with the use of hand axes and cleavers. The Oldowan (A) tool industry is earlier and involved primarily the production of simple flakes. The Shewlian (C) and Osteodontokeratic (D) tool industries are not recognized by mainstream archaeology. The Northern Asian (E) tool industry, also known as the Levallois technology, involves the production of a variety of tools using a prepared core technique, but not necessarily bifacial flaking.
