> A life of a person in 8000 BC was not that different from life of a person in 7000 BC What about Çatalhöyük? 7000 BC puts you around the zenith. Not far away

> A life of a person in 8000 BC was not that different from life of a person in 7000 BC What about Çatalhöyük? 7000 BC puts you around the zenith. Not far away in Mesopotamia, 7000 BC would also be about the start of the Hassuna period, the first development of pottery in the region [1]. In general, 8000-7000BC is seeing major progression in the Neolithic Revolution, so the life of a person in 7000 BC is perhaps as different from 8000 BC. as 2000 AD would be for someone in 1000 AD. [1] And it's worth noting that pottery is, archaeologically speaking, basically the best tool we have for identifying changes in illiterate societies. Pre-pottery, there usually isn't enough surviving remnants of society to make good guesses as to the cultural practices of that society.
