Question
Mention the techniques that were used to make stone tools.

Answer

It is found that the early people used tools which were made by following ways :

Stone on Stone technique: In this technique, one stone was made with the use of another stone. The stone which was to be developed as a tool was taken in the hand and another stone was used as a hammer. The stone used as a hammer was used to strike off flakes from the first stone. This process was repeated till the required shape was obtained.

Pressure flaking: In this technique, the stone or bone was put on a hard surface and hammer stone was used for flaking off stone or bone. By the removal of flakes, stone or bone became a tool.

Nimone is a village on the Chauphula-Shirur Road. Like many others, this village has also been facing a severe water shortage for the last few months and villagers depend on tankers for all their needs. Bhagvan Mahadeo Lad (35) of this village was beaten with sticks, iron rods and axes by a group of seven men. The incident came to light when some villagers brought a badly injured Lad to hospital for treatment. In the FIR recorded by the police Lad said that he was attacked when he insisted that the water in the tanker must be emptied into the storage tanks constructed as part of the water supply scheme by Nimone Gram Panchayat so that there would be equal distribution of water. However, he alleged that the upper caste men were against this and told him that the tanker water was not meant for the lower castes.
