Period for which there are no written records are called Prehistory. Prehistory is the period that begins with the appearance of the human being, about five million years ago , and finishes with the invention of writing , about 6,000 years ago.It is a long period divided into three stages i.e Palaeolithic Age , Neolithic Age and the Metal Age.

Microliths were small , polished and sharp stone tools. They were marked for their fine edge. They were too small to be used by themselves and would have been set into wooden or bone handles to make composite tools. Microliths were formed from prismatic blades, using the sharp unmodified lateral edges as the cutting edge.

Neolithic age means new stone  age. Neo is a root we use in the English language, it comes from the Greek word "neos", which means new or recent.

They wanted to protect themselves from wild animals and bad weather.

The earliest people hunted, gathered plant produce, made stone tools, and painted on cave walls. Some of them lived in the open air sites while some of them took shelter in the caves. In these caves we find the remains of their life in the forms of paintings on the cave walls they left behind.

Calligraphy is the stylized form of writing. It looks very beautiful. Calligraphy reached its pinnacle of development in Chinese and Japanese art. Also some remarkable achievements took place in Islamic art and certainly traditional Indian art.
