Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acheulean stone tools were found to have sharp edges and were heavy, implying their use in butchering large animals for food. They may have also been used to chop wood, scrape hides, or dig for roots and tubers, but their primary function was likely butchery. A and B are incorrect options as there is no evidence to support them. D is also an incorrect option as there is no evidence to suggest that the Acheulean people used their stone tools as projectiles.
