Agricultural Inventions in the Neolithic Age
The people of the Neolithic Age cultivated ragi, horse gram, cotton, rice, wheat, and barley and hence were termed as food producers. They domesticated cattle, sheep, and goats. People stopped wandering to tend their fields and moved to permanent villages. These villages were where they began developing new tools and started pottery. Pottery came into existence as a result of agriculture which required storage and cooking instruments.
