=What are the key features of Mousterian tools? Which species are thought to have used these tools?=

This tool was later developed from the //Homo neanderthals//. Flint was used as a material to produce stone tools which was very useful as they can predict the way in which it would chip when struck with another hard object. The Mousterian tools has much finer workmanship than the older tools. Levallois method was used which involved the preperation of a core and striking of a large oval flake which is then retouched on one surface only. This tool was made 200,000 to 400,000 years ago.
