This article examines at the scope for agency in the early Neolithic central European Linearbandkeramik culture (5600-4800 BC). It discusses whether a lack of development in certain areas of material culture should be interpreted as evidence of a stable lebenswelt (life-world), where change is simply unimaginable, or if this in contrast provides evidence for mechanisms actively preventing stylistic change, thus representing a state of orthodoxy, according to Bourdieu. I demonstrate how the different rates of development in different areas of material culture can be linked to the respective ideological importance of these objects, and how these change through time.
