A stone tool is, in the most general sense, any tool made either partially or entirely out of stone. Although stone tool-dependent societies and cultures still exist today, most stone tools are associated with prehistoric, particularly Stone Age cultures that have become extinct. Archaeologists often study such prehistoric societies, and refer to the study of stone tools as lithic analysis. Ethnoarchaeology has been a valuable research field in order to further the understanding and cultural implications of stone tool use and manufacture.
Stone has been used to make a wide variety of different tools throughout history, including arrow heads, spearpoints and querns. Stone tools may be made of either ground stone or chipped stone, and a person who creates tools out of the latter is known as a flintknapper.
Chipped stone tools are made from cryptocrystalline materials such as chert or flint, radiolarite, chalcedony, obsidian, basalt, and quartzite via a process known as lithic reduction. One simple form of reduction is to strike stone flakes from a nucleus (core) of material using a hammerstone or similar hard hammer fabricator. If the goal of the reduction strategy is to produce flakes, the remnant lithic core may be discarded once it has become too small to use. In some strategies, however, a flintknapper reduces the core to a rough unifacial or bifacial preform, which is further reduced using soft hammer flaking techniques or by pressure flaking the edges.
Take all I'm going to give to you
What I have is true
You're the one for me
Everything I feel inside is sweet
You make me love so deep
You're the one for me
I can feel it now
What all it really means
it's beautiful
what we have is a special thing
I owe you for showing me
Love is real, taking me far away to a better place
[Chorus]
Anything you want, anything you need, anything your heart desires
I'm here for you, You take me higher
What you feel what you say, what you do when you smile, my days are brighter
I'm loving you
Please don't you go away
I want you to stay
where your heart remains
forever, tomorow, today, everyday don't change
I'm by your side
looking in your eyes
Happy together, forever
I can see my life
I want you to stay
where your heart remains
forever, tomorow, today, everyday don't change
I'm by your side
looking in your eyes
Happy together, forever
I can see my life
Now that I have you here with me
I won't let you leave
I promise you my best
The things you say to me
I melt, I can't control myself
I promise you my best
That I can give
Complete happiness
So sure, not a doubt in your mind we will ever fall
please let me continue to
be the one, your only one, yes the one you give her eye
[Chorus]
