These are some of the points that distinguished “civilizations” from earlier Paleolithic and Neolithic societies:

In civilizations there are more population, they have more powerful states. They elaborate more about class and gender and they have greater inequality in economic function. Also the monumental architecture and literature and calendars distinguished them.
