Which type of weapons were commonly used by Mesolithic people for hunting?
Barbed spears
The Mesolithic period, following the Paleolithic age, was marked by the use of smaller, more refined stone tools known as microliths.
Mesolithic people commonly attached these sharp microliths to wooden shafts to create barbed spears and arrows, which allowed for more effective hunting of animals and fish.
Swords, cannons, and catapults belong to much later periods of metallurgical and military development, and were not available to Mesolithic hunter-gatherer communities who relied on stone-based technology.
Hence, the answer is Barbed spears.
