The Middle Paleolithic tools are marked by the presence of :

  • A.Chopper and Bifaces
  • B.Harpoon and Spears
  • C.Knife and Scraper
  • D.Needles and Perforators

Answer: C

The key's answer is Knife and Scraper.

The Middle Palaeolithic, associated in Europe with Neanderthals and the Mousterian industry and in India with the Nevasa-type industries, is marked by tools made on flakes, often by the prepared-core (Levallois) technique. Its characteristic tools are scrapers of many kinds, points, borers and flake knives.

Choppers and bifaces (hand axes and cleavers) are the hallmark of the Lower Palaeolithic. Harpoons, spears tipped with bone points, needles and perforators belong to the Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic, when bone and antler working and blade tools became common.
