The old stone age also terms as Paleolithic period and was supposed between 5 lakhs and 2 lakhs fifty thousand years ago. During this age life the man was depending only on hunting, fishing and gathering. Stone tools were used mainly for chopping, digging and skinning. Principal tool of this age was microliths.
The people of new stone age used tools and implements of polished stone. They particularly used stone axes,which have been found in large numbers. During this period pottery, method of spinning wool, flax and cotton in threads came into use. The Neolithic people lived there on lakeside in pits, and probably had hunting and fishing economy. They also used Microlithic blades. In Neolithic age, one fined a great leap in the life style of human beings. Their village was almost self-sufficient.
The new stone age gives rise to division of labour. There was more interaction and exhanges between different settlements and villages. While women generally used to hoe plots; it was the man who ploughed field. The tool making ability of human beings gave human being the power to adopt to nature as well to control the nature.
