The research presented in this study focuses upon a 2,000 sq km
area in the K River Valley, in northern Bekes County, eastern
Hungary. Within this region, the author analyzes two separate lines
of evidence that relate to the changing patterns of social
interaction and integration during the Late Neolithic and Early
Copper Age periods. Chapter 1 details the scope of the project
Chapter 2 develops the theoretical framework. Chapter Three
discusses the methodological correlates of this theoretical
framework, and addresses the archaeological problem of inferring
dynamic social systems from static material remains. The middle
range theory and bridging arguments are presented and the problems
of measuring social interaction and integration in prehistoric
contexts are discussed. Chapter Four presents the archaeological
background necessary for understanding the radical social changes
that occurred on the Great Hungarian Plain, ca. 4,500 BC. Chapter
Five presents the specific research design. Chapter Six provides an
overview of the study area and presents the sites and assemblage
included in the subsequent analyses. Chapter Seven details the
analysis of integration throughout the study area, based upon the
spatial data and Chapter Eight lays out the analyses of Early
Copper Age interaction, based upon the stylistic data from the
Early Copper Age ceramic assemblages. Chapter Nine integrates the
analyses presented in Chapters Seven and Eight into a coherent
model and attempts to place the study area into the wider temporal
and geographic context of the Great Hungarian Plain, and into the
wider context of anthropological archaeology.
