Korean Neolithic
The Korean Neolithic period, which lasted from around 8000 to 1500 BCE, marks a significant transition in prehistoric Korea. During this time, communities shifted from a nomadic lifestyle to settled farming, cultivating crops like millet and barley. They also began to domesticate animals, which contributed to their food supply and social organization.
Archaeological findings, such as pottery and tools, reveal the daily lives of these early Koreans. Sites like Amsa-dong and Kwangju showcase distinctive pottery styles and evidence of early village life. The Korean Neolithic laid the foundation for the development of more complex societies in the region.
