Answers
Explanation:
1. With the beginning of the Neolithic age human beings became less dependent on hunting and food- gathering and began to produce their own food. Cultivation of cereals and development in agriculture transformed the nomadic hunter-gatherers into sedentary farmers.
2. Neolithic people usually lived in rectangular homes with a central hearth that were called long houses. They typically only had one door and were made primarily from mud brick, mud formed into bricks and dried. ... The neolithic people also built large passage tombs to hold the dead into mounds.
3. Wheel and axle, basic machine component for amplifying force. In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.
4. The religious beliefs of Neolithic people were as follows:
(a) They buried the dead in graves, along with their weapons, pottery, food and drink in the belief that these things were required after death.
(b) They worshipped totems, or images of plants and animals as their ancestors and protectors.
5. Early Mehrgarh residents lived in mud brick houses, stored their grain in granaries, fashioned tools with local copper ore, and lined their large basket containers with bitumen. They cultivated six-row barley, einkorn and emmer wheat, jujubes and dates, and herded sheep, goats and cattle.
6. In pottery, a potter's wheel is a machine used in the shaping (known as throwing) of round ceramic ware. The wheel may also be used during the process of trimming the excess body from dried ware, and for applying incised decoration or rings of colour.
