Neolithic Farming in Central Europe examines the nature of the
earliest crop cultivation, a subject that illuminates the lives of
Neolithic farming families and the day-to-day reality of the
transition from hunting and gathering to farming.
Debate surrounding the nature of crop husbandry in Neolithic
central Europe has focussed on the permanence of cultivation, its
intensity and its seasonality: variables that carry different
implications for Neolithic society.
Amy Bogaard reviews the archaeological evidence for four major
competing models of Neolithic crop husbandry - shifting
cultivation, extensive plough cultivation, floodplain cultivation
and intensive garden cultivation - and evaluates charred crop and
weed assemblages.
Her conclusions identify the most appropriate model of
cultivation, and highlight the consequences of these agricultural
practices for our understanding of Neolithic societies in central
Europe.
