Stenen tijdperk betekenis
De steentijd of het stenen tijdperk is de periode uit de prehistorie waarin mensen stenen werktuigen gebruikten en nog geen metalen (helemaal aan het eind van de steentijd werden van sommige metalen wel sieraden gemaakt). In de steentijd kenden de mensen nog geen metaal. Ze maakten werktuigen van onder meer steen, en daar ontleent het tijdperk zijn naam aan. De steentijd begon in de bakermat van de mensheid in Oost-Afrika, waar archeologen meer dan 3 miljoen jaar oude stenen werktuigen hebben gevonden. 
Neolithicum Pottery is another element that makes the dating of the Neolithic problematic. In some regions, the appearance of pottery is considered a symbol of the Neolithic, but this notion makes the term Neolithic even more ambiguous, since the use of pottery does not always occur after agriculture: in Japan, pottery appears before agriculture, while in the Near East agriculture pre-dates pottery.
