This book focuses on the archaeology of the hunter-gatherer
societies that inhabited Europe in the millennia between the last
Ice Age and the spread of agriculture, between ten thousand and
five thousand years ago. Traditionally viewed as a period of
cultural stagnation, new data now demonstrate that this was a
period of radical change and innovation. This was the period that
witnessed the colonisation of extensive new territory at high
latitudes and high altitudes following postglacial climatic change,
the development of seafaring, and the synthesis of the
technological, economic, and social capabilities that underpinned
the later development of agricultural and urban societies.
Providing a pan-European overview, Mesolithic Europe includes
regional syntheses written by experts in each region as well as a
diversity of theoretical perspectives.
