The ovoid tool has smooth surfaces and a uniformly sharp cutting edge. During this time period, weather conditions called the Neolithic Subpluvial meant that the Sahara was a green, fertile landscape, cultures that produced rock art flourished during this time period. The people who lived here had plentiful game to hunt and lived in a place with savannahs and woodlands in which they could have a sustainable hunter-gatherer lifestyle. These people also produced some of the oldest pottery in the world and, from about 5000 BCE, had domesticated cattle, sheep, and goats.
