  • Settling down at one place for a long time, a feeling of ownership arose among the neolithic people. 
  • Gradually villages expanded, creating awareness of collective land holdings, making village boundaries prominent. 
  • Awareness of the natural right over a particular region, known as ‘territoriality’ arose. 
  • Rules and social norms were created to manage the collective resources, water resources, crafts, dependent on it, trade, and community life, resulting in rituals gaining importance. 
  • Administrative centers rose to manage and keep records of trade, rituals, and writing systems. 
  • With the increase in population, officials, and occupations, the periphery of the original settlement kept expanding, cities came into existence and the process of urbanisation began in the Neolithic age
