The shape of the tool can be studied to understand its use, and its use can determine the people's purpose or lifestyle (Was it used to scrape the animal skins clean? was it used to cut? chop?)

The edge and fracture pattern of the stone can tell about how it was made, what type of technology and style was used to make the tool.

The overall style can be compared to other tools, and a group can be named and used to typify a certain type of people in a time or place or region.

Stone tools can also be studied to see what the stone type is and how far it has traveled from the source - was it traded or carried far from the original stone quarry or deposit? does this show human movement or cultural exchange (trade?)

What is the basic transition from pre civilization to civilization?

Africa Honestly, that answer in NO WAY answers the question. Re-read the question. The basic transition from pre civilization to civilization is the development of culture, tools and agriculture. Culture because it taught us to work together, tools because they made everything easier for us, and agriculture because that meant we no longer had to move around to stay fed. We could farm a field and grow our own food.
