Neolithic crafts and skills
The early farmers developed new crafts and skills including pottery-making. The pots usually have rounded bases and the museum's collections include many fine examples. The Neolithic farmers also manufactured polished stone axes in vast numbers, the most splendid being the hoard of nineteen discovered close to the Malone Road in Belfast. These axes are made from a stone called porcellanite.
