The [[Neolithic Age]] is a term used in [[archaeology]] and [[anthropology]] to designate a stage of [[culture|cultural]] or [[technology|technological]] development denoted by the use of stone [[tool]]s, the existence of settled villages largely dependent on domesticated plants and animals, and the presence of crafts such as pottery and weaving. The term was coined by amateur archaeologist [[John Lubbock]] in the nineteenth century. The Neolithic Age was the second part of the [[Stone age]], preceeded by the [[Paleolithic Age]], which favored hunting and gathering.

According to some [[anthropology|anthropologists]], the first two Neolithic stages took place around 8500BC to 7000BC.  Some forms of [[Young Earth Creationism|Creationism]] assert that the Neolithic Age took place in the more recent past.
