The Neolithic, however, had houses of mud or stone, which were more durable than tents or huts. For the gathering part of their lives they specialized in basketry. Their means of living farming and herding and they specialized in craftwork. Their technology was having their farming tools made out of ground stone. It began about 2 million years ago, when stone tools were first used by human, and ended with the close of the last ice age about 13,000 BC.

Neolithic or New Stone Age Stone tools became highly polished and varied. In other regions, the Neolithic arrived much later. By 6000 BC pottery appeared in the ancient Middle East, and copper was used for the first time in some regions.
