Also, 4K-5K BCE is edging into the Copper Age in Mesopotamia, so you could have some "magic" copper weapons imported from the distant south if you want.Obviously, no writing, and hence no books or scrolls, which means wizards will need a bit of tweaking if you want to include the class. Weapons would be limited to spears/javelins, clubs and maces, daggers, quarterstaves, one-handed axes and hammers, bows, darts, slings. Armor would be limited to cloth, leather, and hide.According to Wikipedia, by the time you mention, dogs, sheep, goats, pigs, cows, cats, and chickens had been domesticated in one place or another, though many of them probably hadn't gotten to Europe yet.Agriculture was reaching northwestern Europe around this time, so you could have a mix of primitive agrarian and hunter-gatherer societies.I'm curious: Why did you pick that specific time period? Is there a particular "feel" you're shooting for here?</blockquote>
