It is the earliest Stone age
period dating 2.6 million
years ago. The age is
distinguished by most
primitive stone tools.
Humans during the era
grouped together in small
“bands” and were involved in
gathering plants, fishing and
hunting. During the end of
the age, people developed
spiritual and religious beliefs
as depicted in some of the
excavations.
It is the second period of
stone age between
Paleolithic and Neolithic. The
start and end of the age vary
by geographical region. It is a
transition period from
hunting and gathering as in
Paleolithic to domestication
as in Neolithic. The tools
used were mode V chipped
stone tools (microliths).
It is the 3rd period of stone
age and is often referred to
as “New stone age”. Its time
period is considered to be
around 10,200 BC to 4,500BC
, which ended with the
beginning of “Bronze Age”.
People lived in small tribes
and were involved in
domestication of animals.
There is evidence of people
living in permanent houses.
There is also evidence of crop
farming and cultivation
during the period.
