worsaae determined that a second subset of the stone age deposits, associated with dolmen burials, showed signs of animal husbandry and agriculture. following nilsson's analyses of prehistoric subsistence, worsaae proposed that the stone age had a foraging period and an agricultural period, which could be demonstrated from artifacts. he also recognized that finds from caves in france predated even the danish foraging stone-age period. he was perhaps the first to envision what became the division between paleolithic, mesolithic and neolithic periods. these were classified and named by the british researcher john lubbock, 1st baron avebury in 1865.

in regions such as sub-saharan africa, the stone age was followed directly by the iron age. the middle east and southeastern asian regions progressed past stone age technology around 6000 bce. europe, and the rest of asia became post-stone age societies by about 4000 bce. the proto-inca cultures of south america continued at a stone age level until around 2000 bce, when gold, copper and silver made their entrance. the americas notably did not develop a widespread behavior of smelting bronze or iron after the stone age period, although the technology existed. stone tool manufacture continued even after the stone age ended in a given area. in europe and north america, millstones were in use until well into the 20th century, and still are in many parts of the world.
