This book is concerned with the developments that followed on from
the introduction of farming into Britain and Southern Scandinavia
(Denmark and Southern Sweden), and the idiosyncratic social and
cultural patterns that emerged as the revolutionary potential of
the Neolithic was gradually realised. Fundamental to the
contributors approach is a concern with the ways in which
communities inhabit their landscapes. If the Neolithic involved the
introduction of new species of plants and animals and new forms of
material culture into indigenous contexts, the longer-term
consequences of this development should be gauged through changing
practices of dwelling: patterns of occupation and mobility, the
organisation of space, the location of ritual activities, the dead,
and the sacred; and degrees of impact in ecological conditions. The
authors examine the implicit knowledge, habitual practice and
material culture as forms of cultural inheritance which are passed
between generations, and modified by innovation. Click on the blue
