5.   Around about 5,000 BC,people started farming.  Farming spread across Europe from it’s origins in the Indus valley.  No longer did people move with the seasons, hunting had stopped and people were not nomadic.  Farmers could build bigger sturdier houses to last all year round.  The hearth was in the middle of the house.  When a person died there would be a ceremony. Neolithic

6.  The Bronze Age started in roughly 2,500BC. Beaker folk brought the new style of pottery and this new material. The new material was a brilliant gold, but very bendy. It was made by mixing Copper and tin and was called bronze. This material emerged in west Asia and the east meditaranion region. Up until now the material mostly used was flint. Bronze Age.
