Which type of weapons were commonly used by Mesolithic people for hunting?
मध्य पाषाण काल के लोग शिकार के लिए सामान्यतः किस प्रकार के हथियारों का उपयोग करते थे?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Barbed spears/कांटेदार भाले
Mesolithic people (Middle Stone Age) mainly depended on hunting and gathering for survival. They used small, sharp tools called microliths, which were often fixed into wooden handles to make weapons. Among these, barbed spears were commonly used because their pointed and jagged edges helped in catching and holding animals effectively during hunting.
मेसोलिथिक काल (मध्य पाषाण युग) के लोग मुख्य रूप से शिकार और भोजन संग्रह पर निर्भर थे। वे छोटे-छोटे नुकीले औजार (माइक्रोलिथ) का उपयोग करते थे, जिन्हें लकड़ी में लगाकर हथियार बनाया जाता था। इनमें से कांटेदार भाले का उपयोग अधिक होता था क्योंकि इनके नुकीले और कांटेदार किनारे शिकार को पकड़ने में मदद करते थे।
