The earliest human settlements in modern-day Pursat trace back to the Paleolithic era, evidenced by rudimentary stone tools found near the fertile banks of the local rivers. As agriculture emerged during the Neolithic period, the inhabitants established small villages and began cultivating grains (wheat and pulse is attested in the archeological record) and domesticating animals, namely dogs and several types of water fowl. By the early Bronze Age, a distinct culture began to take shape, characterized by its unique pottery and jewelry. Throughout this epoch, the people in Pursat experienced gradual cultural and technological advancements, laying the foundation for the emergence of a future complex civilization. | The earliest human settlements in modern-day Pursat trace back to the Paleolithic era, evidenced by rudimentary stone tools found near the fertile banks of the local rivers.

In the 9th century BCE, the {{wp|Egyptian people|Kemeti}} people rose to prominence as a regional power, establishing trade networks with neighboring civilizations and developing a sophisticated system of writing based on hieroglyphs.
