Aldaari history after the invention of writing has been described as a "post-neolithic golden era," and local advances in technology were no exception. Perhaps the most critical advancements were those that related to food production, as for many millennia food had been extremely scarce on the desert, requiring most tribes to utilize a migratory hunter-gatherer structure. However, the spread of ideas that came with the rise of writing allowed many developments in this field, notably the rise in [[W:aquaculture|aquaculture]]. The Aldaaris were some of the first people to do this, farming fish by constructing complex series of dams and channels and using woven traps to capture bred fish for consumption and trade. These developments encouraged the rise of Aldaar's first settled tribes, many of whom embraced a sedentary life on the northwest coast of the continent founding Aldaar's first permanent settlements, some of which remain to this day. Around the 5th century BCE, records indicate many more tools were developed that further benefited the culture of fishing that had sprung up, including fishing rods, cotton nets, and small fishing boats, which further contributed to the building of a food surplus.

Around the same time, tribes near the [[Nafaq Oasis]] began to develop irrigation systems and planting practices for the many types of flora native to the area, including cotton, apples, plums, peaches, pomegranates, dates, corn, squash, tomatoes, sorghum, herbs, tea, and coffee, among many others. Of theses, the most crucial were cotton, dates, corn, and tea, with each growing easily and being extremely versatile. In addition, agave began being harvested and processed to make [[W:tequila|teqiilyatlaan]], or as it's more commonly known, tequila. The development of alcohol was important, as it kept water safe during long cross-desert journeys and overall made water much safer to drink. The Nafaq Oasis, and others like it, proved to be a perfect environment for growing many crops and herbs, and the massive expansion of inland agriculture allowed for an even greater expansion of the food surplus. It also allowed for the creation of new foods, which were both healthier and had higher caloric value. Overall, the agricultural revolution of the Anabat helped shift Aldaari society towards significantly more sedentary, as being able to grow foods even in the desert would allow for the development of a more traditional societal structure. That being said, many tribes chose to remain mobile throughout their history.

One of the areas of Aldaari society that was most significantly impacted by new ideas and technologies was trade and craftsmanship.
