En France, la période néolithique, qui correspond aux premières sociétés de paysans, est comprise entre 6000 et 2200 avant notre ère. Elle est caractérisée par l’abandon du mode de vie nomade, l’utilisation de la céramique pour fabriquer des poteries et le polissage de certains outils en pierre tels que les haches.
