The Neolithic Period. Neolithic is a Greek word - “Neos” 
means new, “litos” means a stone. After the seventh 
millennium BC a new era - Neolithic era began in the history 
of primitive society. Manufacturing economy appeared in the 
Neolithic period. People released from dependence on nature 
and began production of the products they needed. Cattle-
breeding and cropping kept the main place in people’s 
occupational areas. People prepared pottery and were engaged 
in weaving in the Neolithic period. In the history of mankind 
those innovations were called the Neolithic Revolution. The 
population transferred to the sedentary, and along with cattle-
breeding and farming was engaged in hunting and fishing. 
Labor tools, were mainly made of the flint and obsidian 
(volcanic glass). Stone hoes (a crop tool in the form of a 
triangle or a trapeze head), sickles (grain-cutter in crescent-
shaped form), hammers and axes are examples the Neolithic 
monuments.
