The behavior of food foragers is reflected in their utensils and other artifacts because of the utilities served by these objects. This is because there had to be sharp objects required for hunting animals. There also had to be self-defensive objects required to save the food foragers by animal-attacks. Therefore, it had been important to hunt and also not let any injuries come on the bodies of the foragers. However, there could be times when foragers could get injured by themselves because of the movement in the dense forests with heavy hunting equipment. Stone tools had been used by the foragers to ensure that carcasses, after hunting, could be dragged to a place of convenience and safety (Lipson et al. 2020).
