Summary:

This scholarly work examines the spread of early farming communities in southern Eastern Europe, focusing on the region between the Carpathian Mountains and the Dnieper River. Using Bayesian modeling of radiocarbon dates, the author proposes a discontinuous model of agricultural development, marked by multiple attempts and periods of resurgence. The study highlights the persistence of Mesolithic communities, the emergence of ceramic production, and the spread of early Neolithic farming cultures such as the Criş and Linear Pottery cultures. It also addresses the challenges posed by the region's continental climate and fragile agricultural practices, which led to episodes of cultural abandonment. The book integrates new radiocarbon data with archaeological research to provide a refined chronology and deeper understanding of the Neolithic period in this area. Generated by AI.
