Neolithic Sites

Neolithic sites are locations where early humans settled during the Neolithic period, around 10,000 to 3,000 years ago. These sites often include villages, tools, and artifacts showing the shift from hunting and gathering to farming and animal domestication. They reveal how people started to live in permanent or semi-permanent communities, develop agriculture, and create new technologies. Archaeologists study these sites to understand early human society, culture, and environmental adaptation. Examples include stone-built settlements, burial sites, and circular arrangements like stone circles, which reflect social and ritual activities of Neolithic communities.
