Neolithic Sites
Neolithic sites are archaeological locations where evidence of human activity from the Neolithic period, roughly 10,000 to 4,500 BCE, has been discovered. These sites often feature remnants of early farming, pottery, and permanent dwellings, indicating a shift from nomadic lifestyles to settled communities. Notable examples include Çatalhöyük in Turkey and Stonehenge in England.
The Neolithic period is significant for the development of agriculture, which allowed populations to grow and societies to become more complex. Tools made from stone, such as axes and sickles, were commonly found at these sites, showcasing advancements in technology and resource management.
