The Neolithic period is one of the great transformations in human
history - when agriculture first began and dramatic changes
occurred in human society. These changes occurred in environments
that were radically different to those that exist today, and in
northern Europe many landscapes would have been dominated by
woodland. Yet wood and woodland rarely figures in the minds of many
archaeologists, and it plays no part in the traditional Three Age
system that has defined the frameworks of European prehistory. This
book explores how human-environment relations altered with the
beginnings of farming, and how the Neolithic in northern Europe was
made possible through new ways of living in and understanding the
environment. Drawing on a broad range of evidence, from pollen data
and stone axes to the remains of timber monuments and settlements,
the book analyzes the relationship between people, their material
culture, and their woodland environment.
