Caveman Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Long before farming, people lived as a hunter and gatherer, moving with the seasons. Sharp flint was chipped into blades and fixed to a spear for hunting large animals such as the mammoth. Antler and bone became tools, a hide became clothing or a shelter, and the rest of the diet came from whatever the group could forage. Ground ochre made the red pigment used in stone age cave paintings. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
