Neolithic Period

Neolithic period or the New Stone Age is the period when humans started to domesticate animals and plants to settle in fixed dwellings. As food supply becomes assured, many groups started to shift from hunting to farming. Previously wandering hunters settled down to organize community living in villages and cultivated fields (Violatti). The Temple of Olympian Zeus and Stonehenge both represent this revolutionary period of the Neolithic period. Each of the structures represents the revolutionary innovations that emerged during their time. The materials used, techniques implemented, and levels of planning and labor organization that resulted to the creation of these masterpieces continue to amaze the visitors and observers of the Temple of Zeus
