Different Period and Their Works of Art
Stone Age The stone age can be divided into two phases: Paleolithic (old stone age) and Neolithic (new stone age). During the Paleolithic, humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers. During the Neolithic, humans adopted and settled agricultural life.
Neolithic Period or New Stone Age
The term neolithic is used, especially in archaeology and anthropology, to designate a stage of cultural evolution or technological development characterized by the use of stone tools, the existence of settled villages largely dependent on domesticated plants and animals, and the presence of such crafts as pottery and weaving. The time period and cultural content indicated by the term varies with the geographic location of the culture considered and with the particular criteria used by the individual scientist. The earliest known development of Neolithic culture was in SW Asia between 8000 B.C. and 6000 B.C.

Chalcolithic Period
Chalcolitic Era in Persia. Chalcolithic ( Gk. Khalkos “copper” and lithos “stone”) is a term adopted for the Near East early in this century as part of an attempt to refine the framework of cultural developmental “stages” (Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Ages). In Near Eastern archeology it now generally refers to the “evolutionary” interval between two “revolutionary” eras of cultural development: the Neolithic (ca. 10,000-5500 BC., but varying from area to area), during which techniques of food production and permanent village settlement were established in the highlands and adjacent regions, and the Bronze Age (ca. 3500-1500 BC., also varying with the area), during which the first cities and state organizations arose.
EARLY BRONZE AGE The Greek Bronze Age or the Early Helladic Era started around 2800 BC and lasted till 1050 BC in Crete while in the Aegean islands it started in 3000 BC. The Bronze Age in Greece is divided into periods such as
