The stone age was so named because stone was the only material available for making tools and weapons, except for a few natural materials such as bone. When metals were discovered, it was succeeded by the bronze age then the iron age.
The Stone Age receives its name from the fact that most human tools preserved from that era are made of stone - although undoubtedly tools of wood and animal parts such as bone and sinews were also in use, however they were rarely preserved.
One reason that the prehistoric period was called the stone age is because stone was the main tool available that was used to make things. Stones would be used to make sculptures and other things by the people at the time.
I believe it is called this because the ability to smelt metal had not yet been discovered and so the tools had to be made from carved stone
well it is called the stone age because the stone age people lived in caves which are made of STONE.
and because early man made all his materials out of stone
This is because modern man at this time used Stone tools for hunting and doing work.
Because we lived in caves, cooked on stones, made cutting tools from stones, used stones as weapons and as a heat source around our campfires.
This period of time was when humans primarily relied on stone and pebble tools.
because the people of that time used stone tools, but during the new stone age they used metal tools, so im confused 2 :)
Because at that time most tools and weapons were made in part or in whole of stone
The time when people were hunters and gatherers was called the Stone Age or Paleolithic Age.
The old stone age is called the old stone age because that age was when humans first began and made stone implements \ tools out of stone which was not so fine and polished as the tools in the new stone age.The old stone age is also called the palaeolithic age
