Tools and Weapons in Neolithic age
One of the remarkable achievements of the Neolithic
Period was the invention of wheel. It brought
a rapid progress in man’s life. The wheel was used
in horse-carts and bullock-carts that helped man
a lot to carry heavy loads. Therefore, in this period
transport became quite easy and quick.
The wheel was also used for spinning and weaving.
It also helped in pottery. Man made beautiful pots
to keep foodgrains and storing water.
The tools and weapons of the Neolithic Age are
better and sharper than the Palaeolithic Age. Now
a polished stone called celt was used to make
tools. Some new developed tools like sickles, bows
and arrows and improved axes are made in the
Neolithic Age. These tools were used for various
purposes like, the axe was used for cutting down
trees, sickles to harvest the crops and arrows to kill animals.
