The second precondition for sedentary life is the avail­ability of food at the place of settlement. To satisfy the pre-conditions of humans some research and technology is must. It was during this period that human beings learnt cultivating crops and hunting animals, new invention take place , people started making new tools and cutting rocks and wood making things from it.   Ancient Towns:  There are number of towns in India having historical background spanning over 2000 years.
