Interviewer: Hi Rocco. Tell me, what’s it like to live in the Stone Age? What do you do when your father goes hunting? Rocco Stone: I stay with my mum and gather wild fruits, berries, honey, roots and water plants. Interviewer: What animals does your dad hunt? Rocco Stone: He hunts bison, reindeer and birds. We’ve learned to farm, so now we keep pigs, cows and sheep, and grow wheat. Interviewer: Do you have a pet? Rocco Stone: Yes, I have a dog. Wild dogs were tamed from wolves and now they’re our pets.

Rocco Stone: I live in a village in a longhouse made of stones, mud and wood, but my ancestors used to live in caves and huts Interviewer: How do you make tools? Rocco Stone: Toolmakers make tools from flintstones and attach them to wood. Interviewer: How do you make your clothes? Rocco Stone: We use animal hides, we brush them until they’re soft, then cut them into shapes using stones. Interviewer: What arts and crafts to you do? Rocco Stone: We make paints with charcoal, crushed stones, plants and animal fat and then draw pictures of animals and hunting scenes on rock walls and caves. Interviewer: Thank you very much.
