Neolithic is a term used in archaeology and anthropology to designate a stage of cultural or technological development denoted by the use of stone tools, 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.
