Dernière période de l'âge de la pierre, suivant le Mésolithique et l'Aenéolithique [...] caractérisée par l'usage des instruments polis : pierres, os, ivoire, etc., ainsi que la culture, l'élevage des animaux et la sédentarisation. 2, record 1, French, - N%C3%A9olithique

On a souvent défini le Néolithique comme la période de la préhistoire comprise entre le Mésolithique et l'âge des métaux, soit approximativement entre le Ve et la moitié du IIIe millénaire av. J.-C. Cette définition se révèle aujourd'hui trop simpliste. [...] La définition donnée par Michel Brézillon semble prudente et plus conforme aux exigences de l'heure. Pour cet auteur, le Néolithique est «la phase du développement technique des sociétés humaines correspondant à leur accession à une économie productive». 4, record 1, French, - N%C3%A9olithique
