Paleolithic stone tools, not only seen from the physical form but rather, in terms of its use by Paleolithic society at that time. Therefore, this stone is a symbol of communal society that cares about one another, so the design interpreted in such a ways that reflect the community and cultural activities in the prehistoric times, and remember important events and remind people at the present about the origin, or more precisely to get closer to the elements of 'sense of place' of the past.
