Question

which social change were produced by the practice of building houses during the Neolithic period
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Neolithic Age was the last period of the Stone Age that encapsulated the beginning of human history. Ranging from about 8000 to 3000 BCE, the Neolithic Age saw the rise of ancient civilizations and the invention and usage of advanced technology. However, still being part of the Stone Age, architectural materials were not very advanced, so neolithic people mostly used stone and mud brick in their buildings.

Unlike the prior periods of the Stone Age, people in the Neolithic Age mostly lived in settled societies Because of this, they no longer lived in impermanent structures like huts and caves, but, for the most part, actually built homes. Homes were usually built around a central hearth, or stone or brick fireplace, which was used to warm the house and to cook. At the beginning of the period, homes were usually one room, but towards the end, they were often multi-roomed, sometimes even having two stories.

These homes, often called long houses, were usually rectangular, no matter how many rooms they had. Homes were made primarily of mud brick, which was simply mud formed into bricks and dried. While mud brick was not as sturdy or permanent as other materials, it was cheap and easy to make since mud was easy to find. Mud brick homes sometimes had wood frames depending on the location, but were mostly made from mud brick with just one door and no windows.

Answer 2

Answer:

As people settled down to farm during the Neolithic Age, they built more permanent shelters. In many areas, people packed mud bricks together to build round or rectangular houses. Sometimes they added stones and tree branches to strengthen the walls and roof. The houses had openings high in the walls.

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. Neolithic religious architecture was often massive, like the Ggantija Temples.
