Stone tool progression

As stated in the last post, stone tools progressed through the ages.  I have created a basic sequence of tools from the earliest to the most recent technologies.  Not all technologies are represented but this is a glimpse into how tools changed over time. All tools are hand crafted, from resources our ancestors may have used or had access to.
