How was the blade-core method, which characterizes the tools of Upper Paleolithic traditions, superior to Mousterian technology?
A. The Upper Paleolithic blade-core method was faster and produced 15 times as much cutting edge from the same amount of material.
B. The Upper Paleolithic blade-core method was faster but also more difficult to achieve, resulting in many tries that yielded no results.
C. There was no difference between the two methodsonly a greater diversity of tool uses among Upper Paleolithic traditions.
D. The Upper Paleolithic blade-core method produced sharper and longer cores than was typical of the Mousterian method.
E. The Upper Paleolithic blade-core method used naturally occurring metal ores to strike blades off cores.
