Neolithic Tribes in Northern Parts of Central Asia

The Neolithic tribes that inhabited modern-day Mongolia, Siberia, and Kazakhstan migrated throughout the region continually and had frequent contacts with other ancient tribal societies. Tools for farming, hunting and fishing were developed in this period using new, microlithic techniques which allowed more complicated implements to be constructed. Such tools were closely related to the precise activities undertaken by individual tribes in specific locations – thus through understanding the tools produced in any one area, we have an insight into its economy and methods of food production.
