Stone tools from the Aurignacian culture are known as Mode 4, characterized by blades (rather than flakes, typical of mode 2 Acheulean and mode 3 Mousterian) from prepared cores. Also seen throughout the Upper Paleolithic is a greater degree of tool standardization and the use of bone and antler for tools.
The Aurignacian culture was marked by a great diversification and specialization of tools, including the invention of the burin, or engraving tool, that made much of the art possible. The Aurignacian differs from other Upper Paleolithic industries mainly in a preponderance of stone flake tools rather than blades.

Aurignacian stone tools are often made on nonlocal stone, especially in early assemblages, which were obtained from sources as far as 45 km from where they were found by archaeologists. Understanding of the chronological development of Aurignacian stone tools is hampered by the fact that most Aurignacian assemblages have comparatively low ...
The Aurignacian is represented in material terms by the production of tools developed from blades and points, with highly specific bone tool techniques associated with the development of a wide range of symbolic expression: personal ornamentation, portable and cave art.
