"People trade to get resources they didn't have in their own area. As Neolithic people became more skilled in there crafts, they wanted materials to improve the strength and beauty of the things they made. Getting those resources became the job of traders.
Traders often traveled hundreds of miles to find what they wanted. They crossed mountains on foot, rode donkeys across deserts, and sailed the Mediterranean Sea on ships.
What were the traders looking for? Popular items included flint and obsidian. Obsidian is a black glass from volcanic mountains. Craftspeople used it to make knife blades, arrowheads, and mirrors. People also traded for 'beauty products' like shell ornaments and a red ore called hematite. Women rubbed hematite on their lips and cheeks to make them redder.
The growth of trade allowed people to make use of more resources. It also brought them into contact with people from distant places. These contacts helped spread ideas and knowledge around the ancient world." -History Alive!: the Ancient World Student Edition by TCI Brings Learning Alive!

Neolithic people traded goods such as tools, pottery, and food to acquire resources not readily available in their own region. Trade allowed them to access specialized items, establish social connections, and improve their standard of living.
Neolithic people made tools, pottery, woven textiles, and buildings such as homes and temples. They also engaged in agriculture, domesticated animals, and developed early forms of social organization and trade.
Neolithic people traveled to trade primarily by foot or by using pack animals, such as donkeys or camels. They also used boats and canoes for trading across waterways and along coastlines. Overland trade routes were developed to connect different communities and regions for the exchange of goods and materials.
Yes, people did trade during the Neolithic and Paleolithic eras. Archaeological evidence shows that there was long-distance trade of goods such as obsidian, shells, and other resources between different communities. This trade helped facilitate communication, cultural exchange, and the circulation of valuable resources among different groups.

Trade helped Neolithic people make stronger tools by allowing them to acquire raw materials not readily available in their local area. Through trade networks, Neolithic communities could obtain materials such as obsidian or flint, which were crucial for crafting durable tools like blades and arrowheads. By accessing these materials through trade, Neolithic people were able to improve the quality and effectiveness of their tools, leading to advancements in agriculture, hunting, and other aspects of their society.
