Latvian Middle Neolithic
5000-3000BC
Latvia
The Latvian Middle Neolithic was a period of great change in Latvia. The Latvians developed agriculture and herding on a large scale. They also began to build permanent villages and to develop pottery and weaving. One of your ancestors may have been a Latvian farmer who cultivated wheat, barley, and oats on the plains of Latvia. Another of your ancestors may have been a Latvian herder who raised pigs, cows, and sheep in the hills of Latvia.
