Detailed explanation-1: -The Mesolithic Age, which means Middle Stone Age, was the second part of the Stone Age. This age is characterized by the use of Microliths (small bladed stone tools). 1. In India, it spanned around 9, 000 B.C. to 4, 000 B.C. This age was a transitional phase between the Paleolithic Age and the Neolithic Age.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, a microlith, is quite literally a small stone! Most measuring about 1cm. These were developed in the Mesolithic age because of the changing natural environment – it was getting warmer after the end of an ice age, and the animals hunted were smaller (think deer and not mammoths!).
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is Stone tools. Microliths are stone tools that are of length from 1cm to 5 cm, these are shaped like blades and are made of stones such as-chert, chalcedony, agate, etc.
