The Stone Age is split into three separate periods: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic. WHAT IS PREHISTORY? The earliest part of the Stone Age is called the Palaeolithic. Palaeolithic people were nomadic.

Some of the most visible changes that occurred were in the nature of settlements and their position in the landscape. In the earliest Neolithic age (the pre-Pottery Neolithic A, 10,000 – 8550 BC) people began to live in more permanent settlements.

The Stone Age marks a period of prehistory in which humans used primitive stone tools. Lasting roughly 2.5 million years, the Stone Age ended around 5,000 years ago when humans in the Near East began working with metal and making tools and weapons from bronze.

During the Neolithic Age, humans grew their own food, built permanent shelters, and settled down in one place. Neolithic settlements were located east of the Mediterranean Sea because the land was fertile.

Long before Stonehenge or even the Egyptian pyramids were built, Skara Brae was a thriving village. Step back 5,000 years in time to explore the best-preserved Neolithic settlement in Western Europe. First uncovered by a storm in 1850, Skara Brae remains a place of discovery today.

These homes were built into mounds (known as midden) of small stones, shells, animal bones and mud which would make sure the homes were strong and stayed warm. These houses were usually round and had a hearth for a fire in the middle. They had beds and chairs made of stones.

Mesopotamia is the site of the earliest developments of the Neolithic Revolution from around 10,000 BC.

Neolithic Age Australian archaeologist V. Gordon Childe coined the term “Neolithic Revolution” in 1935 to describe the radical and important period of change in which humans began cultivating plants, breeding animals for food and forming permanent settlements.

Some of the important Neolithic settlements are Mehrgarh (located in Baluchistan, Pakistan), Burzahom (Kashmir), Gufkral (Kashmir), Chirand (Bihar), and Utnur (Andhra Pradesh). Jarf el Ahmar and Tell Abu Hureyra (both in Syria) were the major Neolithic sites in Asia.

Another major change in Neolithic times was the growth of trade. Paleolithic hunter-gatherers rarely traded with other groups. They usually used only the plants, animals, and other resources they found nearby. Once people settled in towns and villages, trade became much more common.

As people embraced agriculture as a way of life, they had to stay in one place most or all of the year to plant, tend, and harvest their crops. Populations grew exponentially and began aggregating in permanent settlements, some quite large.
