NEOLITHIC:It happened around the 8000 years ago bC and 5000 years ago bC. People in this period of time, started to live in villages and towns, so it means that they were sedentary. 

In those villages they cultivated plants, and domesticated animals.They used stones to make tools, but now they also made products such as cloth, baskets and pottery. The most important inventions of this period of time were the agriculture, which helped them cultivate in one place, and the wheel. The art was similar to the paleolithic: cave paintings with human figures very schematic. 
There are two words that are really important to understand the Neolithic:

Agriculture: cultivate the ground.
Farming: domesticate animals.

METAL AGES OR BRONZE AGES: 

It happened 5000 years bC-3000 bC. In this period of time appeared the first cities with walls for protection and canals for water to cultivate; ex: El Argar in Spain. So it means that people were sedentary. In those cities people cultivated plants and domesticated animals.  They used metals like copper, tin, bronze and iron to make tools and weapons. They also made jewellery with precious metals (silver and gold). They had better tools and material thanks to metal. Thanks to the wheel they created new forms of transport that made things easier to them like  sailing to go faster and plough to cultivate. The most important artistic monuments were made with big stones called megaliths.

There are two words that are really important to understand the this period of time:

Bartering: exchange of products.

Metallurgy: melt metal to create anything
