how do you get to know about the Neolithic people
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Neolithic (or ‘New Stone Age’) is a term used for the period in our past when the shift from hunting and gathering wild animals and plants to a farming lifestyle occurred.
It was also the time when pottery was first used, and in many regions people also began to live in permanent settlements. This change happened at different times and in subtly different ways throughout the world, beginning around 10,000 BC in the Middle East.
The Neolithic in Britain began around 4000 BC. The process by which it arrived is currently a hotly debated topic. Some scholars argue that colonists moved wholesale from the near continent bringing farming and pottery with them, but others have suggested that the indigenous population of Britain gradually adopted these new things on their own terms.
At the start of the Neolithic, people began to grow domesticated wheat and barley crops and to herd new animals such as cows, pigs and sheep; they nonetheless seem to have continued to use wild resources, such as hunted deer or gathered wild berries, as well. Pottery was adopted right across the country at this time, beginning with fairly plain styles, and later becoming highly decorated. The introduction of pottery would have radically changed people’s ability to cook and store food. It would also have provided people with new objects to exchange with other groups, and perhaps even to convey social messages through the decoration.
