The period in which people used large stones and wood to make dwellings is known as the Neolithic period, also referred to as the New Stone Age. This period began around 10,000 BCE and lasted until the advent of metalworking, which varied by region but generally occurred between 6,000 and 2,000 BCE.
During the Neolithic period, humans transitioned from a nomadic lifestyle to a more settled existence. Agriculture became the primary source of sustenance, leading to the establishment of permanent settlements. The use of large stones and wood for dwellings provided stability and protection, allowing communities to thrive and grow.
