    What Was the Stone Age?

    The stone age was a period of time when humans made weapons and tools out of stone.
    It was such a long period of time that it is divided into three eras:

    The Palaeolithic era started when humans began using stone tools
    and ended when the ice age started.

    The Mesolithic era began at the end of the ice age


    and ended when humans started to farm.

    The Neolithic era began when people started to


    farm and ended when tools began to be made from
    metal (the start of the bronze age).

    We know about life during the stone age by studying


    artefacts that archaeologists have found.

    Stone Age Clothing
    During the stone age, clothing had to keep people warm.
    Clothing was often made from animal skins.

    Humans started living in Britain in around 800,000 BC; however,


    the climate was so harsh that archaeologists believe that humans
    left Britain at least seven times during this era. It was not until the
    end of the ice age in 10,000 BC that humans began to live in
    Britain permanently.
    How Did People Make Clothing?
    Animals were hunted for their meat using stone spears. The animal would be
    skinned and the meat would be eaten. People would use stone tools to scrape
    the dirt off the animal’s skin. They would then wash the dirt off.
    How Did People Put the Clothes Together?
    During the Neolithic era, the needle and thread were invented. This meant
    people could wear fitted clothes and it meant they could keep warm in colder
    weather.

    Some clothing was also made by weaving grasses and plant stems.
    Decorations
    At the Neolithic settlement in Skara Brae, Orkney, archaeologists have found
    beads, pendants and pins made from animal bones.

    This jewellery was carefully carved into shapes. This suggests that towards the
    end of the stone age, people were beginning to think about how their clothing
    looked.
