The agricultural frontier and the transition to farming in the circum-Baltic region
The purpose of this chapter is to outline the transition to farming in the lands adjoining the Baltic Sea, with special reference to the impact of the agricultural frontier. For two reasons, this is a key area for our understanding of the process of “neolithization” in Europe and of the agricultural transition in general: first, the transition in the Baltic region was slow and relatively recent, allowing us to investigate it at a finer degree of …
Inerpreting Ireland's Prehistoric Landscape
The Bally Lough Archaeological Project (BLAP) began in the back of a pick-up truck on the road to Nanomi, B.C. in April 1979. The Waterford area derives its character from a gently rolling landscape of sandstone and volcanic hills, the coastline indented by small fjords with sandy beaches at their heads, and from the majestic presence of Waterford Harbour — the magnificent estuary for the Rivers Barrow and Suir. Initial reconnaissance of the area…
Ceramics Before Farming
A long-overdue advancement in ceramic studies, this volume sheds new light on the adoption and dispersal of pottery by non-agricultural societies of prehistoric Eurasia. Major contributions from Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia make this a truly international work that brings together different theories and material for the first time. Researchers and scholars studying the origins and dispersal of pottery, the prehistoric peoples or Eurasi…
Stone Tool Technology
Stone artefacts comprise the most abundant and most ubiquitous sources of evidence for the evolution of hominin behaviour during the Pleistocene. Changes in the ways stone artefacts were made and used over the past 2.5 million years document a number of trends in the evolution of behaviour and behavioural capacities, ranging from scales of land use to cognition. Time-lags between the earliest appearance of a particular method or technique and its…
Archaeogenetics of Africa and of the African Hunter-Gatherers
The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology and Anthropology of Hunter-Gatherers
For more than a century, the study of hunting and gathering societies has been central to the development of both archaeology and anthropology as academic disciplines, and has also generated widespread public interest and debate. The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology and Anthropology of Hunter-Gatherers provides a comprehensive review of hunter-gatherer studies to date, including critical engagements with older debates, new theoretical perspecti…

Homo habitus
The current generally accepted view of the dispersal of farming into Europe is that farming groups in the eastern Mediterranean colonised selectively optimal farming areas. The role of contact between indigenous hunter-gatherers and incoming farmers was very important to the operation of this process. This general view of the spread of farming at a broad inter-regional scale gives us our understanding of the origins of the Neolithic but merits cl…

The Invention Of Hunter-Gatherers in Seventeenth Century Europe? A Comment on Mark Pluciennik
Mark Pluciennik has presented us with an excellent and original piece of research. His conclusion that the current categorisation of pre-industrial societies into hunter-gatherers and farmers is, effectively, a modern invention represents a continuation of his earlier investigations into this subject (1998; 2001). He supports this conclusion with very convincing arguments, and offers a historically contingent explanation in terms of the coalescen…
Revisiting Indreko’s Culture Historical Model
In my contribution, I evaluate Richard Indreko's hypothesis about the origin and settlement of the Finno-Ugrian peoples in the light of contemporary archaeological and genetic evidence. First, I consider the intellectual and political context of Indreko's original publication, and discuss the weaknesses of the culture historical approach and the normative concept of culture, which provided the conceptual framework within which Indreko operated. I…
The agricultural transition and the origins of Neolithic society in Europe
The origin of Neolithic societies and the agricultural transition have been a subject of concentrated attention and a subject of debate and controversy among archaeologist, geneticists and linguists. In my contribution I review and evaluate different archaeological interpretations of the transition to farming. I will also discuss the archaeogenetic evidence and its integration with archaeological data
Europe's First Farmers
Plants and animals originally domesticated in the Near East arrived in Europe between 7000 and 4000 BC. Was the new technology introduced by migrants, or was it an 'inside job'? How were the new species adapted to European conditions? What were the immediate and long-term consequences of the transition from hunting and gathering to farming? These central questions in the prehistory of Europe are discussed here by leading specialists, drawing on s…

The Neolithic transition in the Balkans - archaeological perspectives and palaeoecological evidence
Willis and Bennett have argued that palynological evidence from southeastern Europe fails to substantiate archaeological arguments for a 'Neolithic transition'. In this response, we argue that Willis and Bennett ignore the complexity of the pattern and process of Neolithiciz ation in southeastern Europe and that the available palynological evidence is inadequate to address such issues
At the Interface of Archaeology, Linguistics and Genetics
Indo-European languages are believed to have spread through population movements from the original epicentre. In recent years, this diffusion and divergence of languages from the *proto-Indo-European mother tongue has been identified with the dispersal of farming populations from the region of Anatolia/northern Iran, who are held (e.g. by Renfrew) to have gradually colonised Europe between c. 6000and 3000be. It is here argued that this was not ne…

Transition to farming in Northern Europe
The transition to settled farming communities in northern Europe was a far more gradual process than elsewhere in Europe: this makes it possible to study the transition to farming archaeologically at a finer level of resolution. In this paper we trace the shift to cultivation in two areas: Denmark and Finland. Despite the difference in the time scale of agricultural evolution, and despite other chronological and environmental differences, we can,…

Plant Use in the Mesolithic and its Role in the Transition to Farming
The purpose of this paper is to review the current evidence for plant use in Mesolithic Europe and to summarize its implications. In order to do so, four sources of data are examined: macrobotanical remains, palynological data, artefactual evidence, and the human biological record. A prelimary survey of palaeobotanical evidence for plant use in the Mesolithic indicates that the evidence is far more extensive than expected hitherto and that accumu…
On the transition to farming in Europe, or what was spreading with the Neolithic

The Mesolithic Colonization and Agricultural Transition of South-east Ireland
This paper presents the first systematic archaeological evidence from the early prehistory of south-east Ireland. The research is designed to investigate the colonization of the area during the Mesolithic period and the subsequent transition to agriculture. From a theoretical perspective, we offer a view of indigenous development. That is, we look for continuities between Mesolithic and Neolithic Ireland in terms of technology and settlement. The…

Hunters in Transition
Hunters in Transition analyses one of the crucial events in human cultural evolution: the emergence of post-glacial hunter-gatherer communities and the development of farming. Traditionally, the advantages of settled agriculture have been assumed and the transition to farming has been viewed in terms of the simple dispersal of early farming communities northwards across Europe. The contributors to this volume adopt a fresh, more subtle approach. …

The Palaeolithic Settlement of Europe
A major new survey of the prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies of Europe, this book reviews the newest information and interpretations for scientific research. Palaeolithic studies are at an exciting point of transition. The explosion in ethno-archaeological studies has fundamentally challenged our models and interpretations amongst all classes of data and at all spatial scales of analysis. Furthermore the traditional concerns of dating and quat…
