The spread of sheep and goats of Near Eastern origins occurred rapidly by the sixth millennium BCE, while cattle that spread during this period may have derived from indigenous domestication in the eastern Sahara as much as a millennium or two earlier.
From the third millennium, the village to urban tradition of Kerma emerged, but it remains unclear whether this was based solely on the production of introduced wheat and barley cultivation in the Nile flood plain or also included summer cultivation of sorghum.
The slow spread of domestic fauna in this region during the second millennium BCE is due in part to the presence of disease threats to domesticates, as well as established hunter-gatherer adaptations.

Finely worked pieces, discovered at sites dating as early as 7000 BCE, took the most painstaking labor to create and testify both to the central importance of these jades to early Chinese societies and to the technological sophistication of their craftsmen.
The exact function of many of the earliest jades is still unknown, although evidence points to their use in rituals relating to burial and the spirit world.
Archaeological evidence dating to the Eastern Zhou period (770-256 BCE) and Han dynasty indicates that jades, bronzes, silk, lacquerwares, and even gold shared a common vocabulary of motifs and styles, reflecting the interchange between the artists working in these mediums.

The site, which existed at the time of the ancient Egyptian civilization when the pyramids were built, "is considered one of the most significant discoveries of ancient Native American culture on the Eastern Seaboard," said Acton's Bob Ferrera, the founder of the ad hoc committee, Friends of Pine Hawk.
Since it was not possible to relocate the proposed treatment plant and preserve the Pine Hawk site in place, the arch eologists mounted a program to retrieve the fragments for analysis.
Ritchie said a study of the fragments followed with radio carbon-dating tests at a Florida laboratory indicate that the area was occupied by an ancient Native American culture 7,000 years ago in the post-glacial period.

Most strikingly, they argue that if the Sphinx was free of sand for only about 1400 years after 2500 BCE, the percentage difference between the depth of weathering in the back and front should be calculated as a percentage of 1400 years rather than of the total 4500 years since 2500 BCE.

Numerous agricultural settlements, many of them dating back to 3500 BCE, even as far as 7000 BCE, seemed to have culminated around the beginning or middle of the third millennium in the formation and establishment of interconnected cities along the banks of the Indus river and its tributaries, the Punjab or Five Rivers area.
Cities such as Harappa (with the discovery of which this culture was named the Harappan-culture) and Mohenjo-daro show similar signs of great sophistication in urban development.
Their dating is unclear and is classified in three periods: Older Upanisads 800-500 BCE, the Middle Upanisads 400-200 BCE; Younger Upanisads 200 BCE – 200 CE.
