Question

Four important sites connected with Neolithic age?

Answer 1

The Neolithic (/ˌniːəˈlɪθɪk/ ( listen),[1], also known as the "New Stone Age"), the final division of the Stone Age, began about 12,000 years ago when the first development offarming appeared in the Epipalaeolithic Near East, and later in other parts of the world. The division lasted until the transitional period of the Chalcolithic from about 6,500 years ago (4500 BC), marked by the development ofmetallurgy, leading up to the Bronze Age andIron Age. In Northern Europe, the Neolithic lasted until about 1700 BC, while in China it extended until 1200 BC. Other parts of the world (the New World) remained in the Neolithic stage of development until European contact.[citation needed]

The Neolithic comprises a progression of behavioral and cultural characteristics and changes, including the use of wild and domestic crops and of domesticated animals.[a]

The term Neolithic derives from the Greekνέος néos, "new" and λίθος líthos, "stone", literally meaning "New Stone Age". The term was coined by Sir John Lubbock in 1865 as a refinement of the three-age system.[2]
