Hint: The Stone Age is the time period that indicates the span of time during which the stones were widely used to make the implements. It started around 2,80,000 years ago and ended around 50–25 thousand years ago. Also, it was a great developmental era for mankind.

Complete Answer:
The Middle stone age is known as the Mesolithic age which is between the old stone age and the new stone age. The items which were made by the stones, wood, or bones in this period were very small. That is why they were known as delicate stone tools.

Now as we all know that the stones, wood, or bones were the main object for the people of that time to use as a weapon or anything made out of them. The tools of this period are standardized if we compare them to the other periods. Gradually, the tools started differentiating from place to place.
