Movie: Stories from the Stone Age

• Open grounds, like a big garden. "Fertile" environment.

• Dorothy Garrot. She looked in caves and found a man, so distinctive she fought she had found a new kind of people. The Natufians.

• She also found a tool made for cutting grass. The Natufians then had to carry all of it themselves  back to their homes.

• Today it is much more hotter on those same grounds. Not green as a beautiful garden any more.

• Scientists have discovered that the Natufians had everything they needed in that place. The stayed  in the same place all the time (their small shelters, but moved a lot while hunting and on the days).
• They where the first to build shelters that held from years to year, generation to generation. The  chose their place to establish their villages very carefully.

• Despite their lack of food sometimes and their way to live, they seemed to be fit, to be in shape.

• They made their own tools, which where stones that they made in different shapes. Flint stone  where used a lot. Gesell bones where also used to make tools.

• The Natufians  had a special feeling for decorations.

• Pancakes are the ancestors to todays flat bread.

• They also ate fruits and berries when the season was right. This made them be able to have a  mixed diet and get different nutrient that a human needs to survive.
• They had meetings between different clans and made swaps with tools and food and decorations.

• Their graveyard was under the fireplace. The dead where berried their with a stone and a couple of  other small things. For example dead rabbits.

• In 10 years it all ended. The glaciers came back.
• Clans split up into small groups and had huge troubles with finding food. Many died along the way.

• They found a place with an oasis. It was a whole new environment but it was their only way to  survive.

• They where the worlds first farmers. They took their own last food, the seeds they still had left and  sacrificed it by planted them in the ground to get food for the future.
• There have been findings of a place where there have been a farm (where the Natufians farmed).
