The Oxford Handbook of Neolithic Europe
by Chris Fowler (editor), Jan Harding (editor), Daniela Hofmann (editor)
Description
This comprehensive volume surveys the Neolithic period across Europe, tracing the emergence and development of sedentary farming communities from Iberia to Russia and from Scandinavia to Malta. Bringing together contributions from leading archaeologists, it explores the movement of people, plants, animals, and ideas alongside major themes including settlement, architecture, subsistence, material culture, monuments, burial practices, and the transition toward metallurgy. The book places regional evidence within a continent-wide framework while examining the history of archaeological research, current interpretive debates, and the growing role of genetic and isotope studies. Authoritative yet wide-ranging, it serves as an essential guide for students and specialists seeking to understand the diversity and interconnectedness of Neolithic Europe.
