The way of life was still based on hunting animals and gathering plant foods. Mesolithic stone tool assemblages often contain small flint tools called microliths. These were probably put together in groups forming composite tools. For example, a series of backed bladelets could be lined up in a wooden handle to form a knife or, other types of microliths could be used to form the tips and barbs of spear or arrow tips.  5, record 10, English, - Mesolithic

Le terme de Mésolithique doit être réservé aux groupes qui abandonnent peu à peu une économie de chasse et de cueillette et qui s'orientent vers une économie de producteurs. Il est difficile de cerner les limites chronologiques du Mésolithique. Les sociétés mésolithiques réalisent un développement technoéconomique progressif qui doit marquer une transition entre les modes de subsistance paléolithique et néolithique.
