The Palaeolithic Period The Neolithic Period

- TIME: From 2500000-10000 BC

- They live in small groups called tribes.  They were nomads (travelled from one place to another to find food), so they didn´t have a fix house.

- FOOD: They were hunters and gatherers (they also collect plants and wild fruits).

-HOUSE: They live in caves.... or in huts (like camping tents made with branches and animal skins).

-TRAVELLING: On foot. They carried their belongings/tools on their backs.

 

- REMAINS and TOOLS: They decorate caves walls with paintings. They used very simple tools made with stones, wood and animal bones and skins.

Tools were very simple (human shaped knives, arrowheads, made by hitting two rocks together).

They made spears and harpoons.

- TIME: From 5500-2500 BC

- People became sendentary  (People live in a permanent place)

- FOOD:  Little by little they learn to grow or cultivate plants and they start to domesticate some animals.

- HOUSE: Little by little some primivite people stated to build small primitive permanent villages with very simple houses.

- TRAVELLING: People started to domesticate horses which helped people to transport things.

When later primitive people invented the wheel, it was easier to transport things in the first carts. They also invented the sailing boats.

- REMAINS and TOOLS: The later primitive people used more developed tools, they start using rocks and clay (a part from stones, wood, and animal skins,...).

   Some remains are clay pots, weapons, ... some stone houses.
