Unsettling the Neolithic

This book takes a fresh look at the European Neolithic and asks pertinent questions about the way in which we study it. By unsettling accepted notions regarding sedentism and the onset of farming, the contributors are able to show that many ideas, which are taken as read may need re-evaluating in the light of new modes of thinking. Sedentism and mobility form the bulk of this volume's focus, and a number of papers look at these concepts through examining and reexamining certain sites or collections of sites. Taken together, these fourteen papers encourage us to move beyond the search for sedentism or mobility as a characteristic of society.Whittle, Alasdair is the author of 'Unsettling the Neolithic ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781842171790 and ISBN 1842171798.
