The New stone age is commonly connected with the development of agriculture. The huts were circular ranged from 3m to 9m diameter. The huts were taking a beehive form, constructed of reeds and supported on posts. The huts were dug into the bank of a nearby lake (Water supply) to a depth of 1.3m. The huts had stone paved floors and wall finished with lime stone. Example in Cyprus (5650 BC), thousands of houses were discovered connected with stone paved roads. Walls were surrounding the settlement. The houses were circular (3m to 9m diameter). The lower part of the houses were made of lime stone and the domes were structured by mud bricks. Some houses had lofts supported on stone pillars to be used as workshops, house chores and storages. The Keyhole shaped ______.
