All farming in prehistoric Europe ultimately came from elsewhere in
one way or another, unlike the growing numbers of primary centers
of domestication and agricultural origins worldwide. This fact
affects every aspect of our understanding of the start of farming
on the continent because it means that ultimately, domesticated
plants and animals came from somewhere else, and from someone else.
In an area as vast as Europe, the process by which food production
becomes the predominant subsistence strategy is of course highly
variable, but in a sense the outcome is the same, and has the
potential for addressing more large-scale questions regarding
agricultural origins. Therefore, a detailed understanding of all
aspects of farming in its absolute earliest form in various regions
of Europe can potentially provide a new perspective on the
mechanisms by which this monumental change comes to human societies
and regions. In this volume, we aim to collect various perspectives
regarding the earliest farming from across Europe. Methodological
approaches, archaeological cultures, and geographic locations in
Europe are variable, but all papers engage with the simple
question: What was the earliest farming like? This volume opens a
conversation about agriculture just after the transition in order
to address the role incoming people, technologies, and adaptations
have in secondary adoptions. The book starts with an introduction
by the editors which will serve to contextualize the theme of the
volume. The broad arguments concerning the process of
neolithisation are addressed, and the rationale for the volume
discussed. Contributions are ordered geographically and
chronologically, given the progression of the Neolithic across
Europe. The editors conclude the volume with a short commentary
paper regarding the theme of the volume.
