Abstract

From the time when humans roamed as nomads, they created various types of stone tools for their basic needs and used them for hunting, digging tubers, and similar activities. Later, due to civilizational development, they created objects made of various metals such as copper, iron, brass, and aluminum according to their needs. Objects created and used by humans for human use in this manner are called 'material objects' or 'utilitarian objects.'
