Opis

Alisdair Whittle's work argues for the complexity and fluidity of life in the neolithic, through a combination of archaeological and anthropological case studies and theoretical debate. The book ranges from the 6th to the 4th millennium BC, and from the Great Hungarian Plain, central and western Europe and the Alpine foreland to parts of southern Britain.

Recenzje

"Whittle's general argument is persuasive and, more, to the point, stimulating. His case studies present a rational and balanced articulation between collective structure and individual action." - Journal of Anthropological Research
