wood to build plows

Explanation:

The people of the Neolithic period had significantly changed lifestyles from the people from the Paleolithic. These people had sedentary lifestyle, and instead of being nomads and looking for food constantly, they were engaged in agriculture. This meant that they needed to come up with new tools that would help them to be able to work more efficiently and easily on the agricultural fields. At the beginning, the Neolithic people were using the same materials, just that they were creative and made new tools from them. Such example is the wood as a material, something that has always been used by the humans, but instead of only for making spears, they also started to use it for making plows.
