Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These changes that started in the Neolithic period are a sign of more permanent residence because it proves people were planning to stay at places of settlements for a longer time.

  • Advancements in architecture provided that they could make more permanent stable homes that would last a long period and provide a home for a lifetime. They could make constructions that would last through seasons, so it is not necessary to change the settlement once the more inconvenient season starts.
  • The introduction of pottery for storing food could provide a storage place for the surplus of food that could last for a longer time. This proves people started to think in advance, to plan to store food for future seasons or in cases of crisis and famine. Also, pottery proved to be impractical for nomads, as if people are traveling from place to place and frequently change their home, it is not comfortable to bring big pottery.
