Summary:

This volume features papers dealing with particular aspects of the material culture of the prehistoric periods, and others that consider the evidence for social and economic change within the Neolithic period, such as increased complexity in the settlement layout and the intensified exploitation of domesticated plants and animals. As such, the present volume aims to go beyond the detailed studies of the archaeological finds to examine the wider picture of human cultural evolution.
