The Neolithic era was characterized by great mastery of rinsing and polishing stone tools, and the use of hard stone ores as cutting tools, this amazing manual development led to the emergence of highly specialized crafts, such as carpentry, which in turn led to the construction of better houses, boats, weapons, etc. 

 

 

This specialization facilitated the emergence of highly valuable productive tools in the late Neolithic age, the most important are the plow and the wheel.
