Between 2500 and 2000 BC, the simplest form of the plough, called the ard, spread throughout Europe, replacing the hoe (simply meaning a ‘digging stick’). Whilst this may not seem like a revolutionary change in itself, the implications of such developments were incredibly far reaching. This change in equipment significantly increased cultivation ability, and affected the demand for land, as well as ideas about property, inheritance and family rights.

      Tools such as hoes were light and transportable; a substantial benefit for nomadic societies who moved on once the soil’s nutrients were depleted.
