The Difference between Palaeolithic and Neolithic period are given below;

S.No.	Palaeolithic Age	Neolithic Age
1	The main tools of this period were hand-axe etc. They were crude It was also known as the Old Stone Age.	The main tools were arrows. The tools of this period were smooth and polished. It was also known as the New Stone Age.
2	There was no knowledge of wheel in this age.	Wheel was invented
3	Men was unaware of agriculture.	Men learnt agriculture and began to grow food.
4	People were nomadic and hunter-gatherers.	Now, there were settled people and knew domestication of animals.

There are many similarities such as its shape, construction and material used in construction.

People who grow crops have to stay in the same place for a long time because the crops require proper maintenance. It requires constant watering, weeding and driving away animals and birds until the grain will fully grow. Then, the grain has to be used carefully.

I think cowries and shells would have been used for exchange of goods and materials.
