Key skills you’ll practice
- Placing Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic developments in the correct order
- Recognizing tool types (e.g., hand axes, blades, microliths) and what they were used for
- Connecting changes in diet, climate, and migration to archaeological evidence
- Understanding the shift from foraging to farming and its social impacts
- Interpreting cave art, burials, and artifacts as clues to belief and culture
Interesting context
The term “Stone Age” doesn’t mean people only used stone—it highlights what survives best in the archaeological record. Organic materials like wood, fiber, and hide were widely used but usually decay, so stone tools and durable remains often provide the clearest evidence for how people lived.
Tips for better scores
Read for time cues (glaciations, domestication, early villages) and for evidence cues (tool style, site type, burial goods). If two answers seem close, choose the one most directly supported by archaeology rather than a modern assumption.
