The Neolithic Age is a time period set by archaeologists, which started about 1 10,000 years ago and ended from 5,000 years ago to 2,000 years ago.

The Neolithic Age refers to the last stage of the Stone Age in archaeology, and it is a stage of human material and cultural development marked by the use of grinded stone tools.

The name Neolithic Age was first put forward by British archaeologist lubbock in 1865. This era has entered the Holocene in the geological age, and developed after the Paleolithic Age or the transition of the Mesolithic Age, belonging to the late Stone Age.

The Neolithic Age is not only a concept of time zone, but also closely related to the process of late Homo sapiens leaving Africa and spreading around the world. After the late Homo sapiens left Africa, the production of stone tools was very different from that of early Homo sapiens. It was no longer a simple drilling and cutting operation that remained unchanged for millions of years, and a series of new stone tools were born. According to modern archaeological discoveries, the ancients entered civilization 5000 years ago (Neolithic Age).

Archaeological unearthed cultural remains such as pottery, bronzes, ironware, jade, carbonized textile fragments and rice siliceous bodies show that ancient people's smelting and casting technology, agriculture, pottery making and textile industry were quite developed thousands of years ago. Bronze and iron are metal products, and few have been preserved for thousands of years; Pottery and jade can be preserved for a long time, and there are many unearthed relics.
