Hunting: Men were responsible for hunting large game animals such as mammoths, bison, deer, and wild horses. They used spears, harpoons, and bows and arrows to hunt these animals. Small game, such as rabbits and birds, were also hunted for food.
Gathering: Women and children were primarily responsible for gathering plant foods, including fruits, nuts, berries, roots, and leaves. They also collected shellfish, mollusks, and other edible marine life.
Fishing: In regions near rivers, lakes, or oceans, people engaged in fishing. They used spears, hooks, and nets to catch fish and other aquatic animals.
Scavenging: People also supplemented their diet by scavenging carcasses left behind by predators or by natural causes.
Seasonal Movement: Hunter-gatherers were nomadic and moved from one place to another based on the availability of resources. They lived in temporary shelters, such as caves, rock shelters, and simple huts made from branches and animal skins.
