Archeological sources such as tools, caves and rock paintings tell us about the eating habits of early man, materials used by him during that time and the activities performed:
(i) Tools: The earliest tools were made of stone, bone and wood. They were used to cut meat and bones, scrape barks from trees, for hunting, for stitching clothes, etc.
(ii) Caves: People lived in caves and rock shelters as they provided them with shelter from the rain, heat and wind.
(iii) Rock paintings: The early man made paintings in the caves and rock shelters. These paintings were drawn with great accuracy and skill.

(I) The hunter-gatherers travelled from one place to another in search of food.
(ii) Sometimes they followed the animals who were also moving from place to place in search of their foods. For example, smaller prey, grass and leaves etc.
(iii) The hunter-gatherers often moved from season to season in search of different seasonal plants.
(iv) Sometimes they moved in search of enough sources of water for their survival. The movement of hunter-gatherers were totally based on their basic needs, mainly food and water. This is quite different from the reasons for which we travel today. Now we generally travel for official responsibility, exploring the new lands or personal reasons. We are not travelling in search of food. But poor sections of our society are often migrating in search of their livelihood, which can be described as in search of food also.

The major developments of the Neolithic age are :
(i) Growing crops and domesticating animals.
(ii) Use of polished stone tools and weapons.
(iii) The art of making pottery and making painted potteries.
(iv) Practice of the burying the dead along with pottery, weapon, food and drink.
(v) Invention of the wheel.
