Stories From the Stone Age...

Stories from the Stone Age is an Australien documentary from 2003 in 3 episodes of 50 minutes each.

1: 'Daily Bread' begins in the Middle East around 15.000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age. The climate gets warmer and wetter and the Hunter / Gatherers learn to farm as they find grain.

2: 'Urban Dream' begins 12.000 years ago in Europe where people are living a hard nomadic life - still living as Hunter / Gatherers. A new smaller Ice Age - the Younger Dryas - changes life and in the Middle East people start to domesticate animals. Urban centers pop up and cities start to emerge.

3: 'Waves of Change' begins 4.000 years ago. The Stone Age slowly comes to an end as metals are found. Olive oil is mass produced and traded in a big scale. Dairy products, wool and salt also become important commodities - this is going on without a monetary system. Large stone monuments and graves in Europe and their meaning is explored.

Archaeologists are used throughout the series and everything is based on archaeology.
