In northern India, the Neolithic age emerged around c.8000−6000 BCE.  

• At some places in south and eastern India, it is as late as 1000 BCE.  
• Its significance in pre-history can be gauged by the fact that V. Gordon Childe termed the Neolithic phase as Neolithic Revolution.  
• Maski, Brahmagiri, Piklihal (proof of cattle herding), Budihal (community food preparation and feasting), and Tekkalakota in Karnataka are the important sites of Neolithic age.
