Let me explain. This sentence:

existía una forma primitiva de la agricultura y aldeas

aldeas is plural but una forma is singular, what do I use? existían? Do I have to say existía una forma.. and then say exisían aldeas primitivas

the point is they are both primitiva(s), please help a lil confused leaner!

"Una forma " is the subject. "de la agrigultura" y aldeas" is an adjectival phrase describing "forma. " So your use of "exestía" is correct.
