Answer:
Tools made from stone were very useful for humans. As a result, humans traveled in search of places where they could get good stones. They preferred to live in places where they felt safe and could live for a long time to make tools. These places were known as ‘Workshops or Factory Sites’ of primitive humans.
Such sites or workshops were mostly found on the banks of rivers and caves.
