Stone Age

The Stone Age was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make implements with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted roughly 3.4 million years, and ended between 8700 BCE (or BC) and 2000 BCE with the advent of metalworking. The Stone Age is the first of the three-age system of archaeology, which divides human technological prehistory into three periods: * The Stone Age * The Bronze Age * The Iron Age
