Question

plowshare
potter’s wheel
knife blade
horse collar

Answer 1

Older paleolithic finds in Europe are 'Mousterian', chipped flint mostly. But you find antler picks in the Neanderthal flint mines (seriously, they had mines).

Upper paleo people had thin bone needles (for cloth,as well as leather, they could weave). Arrowheads glued onto wooden shafts with resin, more complicated stone microlithic blades (tiny flint blades inserted into bone or wood).I've seen a microlithic saw before. They had fine pointed awls for making beads and drilling small holes. They also had nets and harpoons.

One burial was complete with an 18 inch long polished flint blade. Later on they started polishing the stone blades and knapped them less. They also started heat treating the flint, which makes the flint easier to handle.
