NeolithicPrePotteryNeolithicB PPNB is a division of the Neolithic developed by Dame Kathleen Kenyon during her archaeological excavation s at Jericho in the southern Levant region. The culture of this period differs from that of the earlier PrePotteryNeolithic A period in that people living during this period began to depend more heavily upon domesticated animals to supplement their earlier mixed agrarian and hunter gatherer diet. In addition the flint tool kit of the period is new and quite disparate from that of the earlier period. One of its major elements is the wikt naviform naviform core. This is the first period in which architectural styles of the southern Levant became primarily rectilinear earlier typical dwellings were circular, elliptical and occasionally even octagonal.

History of Algeria The Neolithic Subpluvial sometimes called the Holocene Wet Phase was an extended period from about 7500 7000 BC to about 3500 3000 BC of wet and rainy conditions in the climate history of northern Africa. It was both preceded and followed by much drier periods. The Neolithic Subpluvial was the most recent of a number of periods of Wet Sahara or Green Sahara , during which the region was much more moist and supported a richer Biota ecology biota and human population than the present day desert. Date ranges The Neolithic Subpluvial began during the 7th millennium BC and was strong for about 2000 years it waned over time and ended after the 5.9 kiloyear event 3,900 BCE .

Unreferenced date August 2008 The Neolithic tombs of Northwestern Europe , particularly Ireland , were built by the Neolithic New Stone Age people in the period 4000 2000 BC. There are four main types Passage grave s Portal dolmen s Court cairn s Wedge shaped gallery grave s Standing Stones All these types of tomb were built from large slabs of Rock geology rock which were uncut or worked only slightly. In each case, there was a doorway made from two large stones facing each other. The doorway led to an inner chamber, or a passage and chamber, lined with flat slabs. In all but the portal dolmens, the tomb was then covered in earth and small stones to make a mound. While some of these stone structures did indeed have human remains contained within them, it is erroneous to suggest that they all were tombs . It is peculiar to note that after being in use for 3 4,000 years many of these contained no bones whatsoever. Some remains that were carbon dated showed that the interments were inserted hundreds of years after the megaliths were constructed. It would seem that when the original purpose of the passage tombs was abandoned, they were adapted for use as crypts by later generations.
