What do we call the time before written records when people used simple tools and lived by hunting, gathering, or early farming?

In caves or simple shelters.
What new way of getting food began in the Neolithic era?
Farming and raising animals.
Which three metals are mentioned in the Metal Age?

Name two main ways daily life changed over time from early prehistory to later periods.

They hunted animals, fished, and gathered fruits, roots, and nuts (any two).
Where did Neolithic people live?
In villages with houses made of mud, wood, or stone.

Stone tools, pots, bones, footprints, animal remains, shelters, art or illustrations of tools.
What did Paleolithic people commonly wear?

Grains, vegetables, milk, and meat (any two).

They had bigger villages and early towns and traded goods more.
What are three broad time periods shown in the infographic about prehistory?

Why might caves have been useful homes for Paleolithic people? (Accept answers referring to shelter, warmth, safety.)
Caves provided shelter from weather, protection, and helped keep people warm.
What kind of clothing did people wear in the Neolithic era?
Woven cloth.
Name two types of clothing or materials worn in the Metal Age from the infographic
Cloth tunics, wool, and leather (any two)
Explain how clothing changed from the Paleolithic to the Metal Age using examples from the infographic. (Answer should include at least two changes.)
In the Paleolithic people wore animal skins and fur; in the Neolithic they wore woven cloth; by the Metal Age people wore cloth tunics, wool, and leather.
Describe one way Paleolithic people made or used tools based on the visual icons in the infographic.
They made stone tools for hunting and cutting (e.g., flaked stone points or hand axes); used fire and simple tools shown in icons.
Explain one big effect that farming had on how people lived.
Farming let people stay in one place and build villages, which led to larger communities, more trade, and different jobs.
Describe one way metalworking would change agriculture or war for people in the Metal Age.
