What to Focus On

  • The Stone Age is named after the use of stone tools.
  • It is part of pre-history, meaning before writing was invented.
  • It is divided into four periods: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Chalcolithic.
  • People were hunters and gatherers.
  • They lived in caves and moved often.
  • They made basic stone tools.
  • It was a transition period between hunting and farming.
  • People began to stay in one place for longer.
