Hardcover. Condition: new. Monthel, Gerard (illustrator). Hardcover. Farmers made a sudden and dramatic appearance in Greece around 7000 BC, bringing with them new ceramics and crafts, and establishing settled villages. They were Europe's first farmers, and their settlements provide the link between the first agricultural communities in the Near East and the subsequent spread of the new technologies to the Balkans and on to Western Europe. Catherine Perles argues that the stimulus for the spread of agriculture to Europe was a colonisation movement involving small groups of maritime peoples. Drawing evidence from a wide range of archaeological sources, including often neglected 'small finds', and introducing daring new perspectives on funerary rituals and the distribution of figurines, she constructs a complex and subtle picture of early Neolithic societies, overturning the traditional view that these societies were simple and self-sufficient. The settlements of farmers, first appearing in Greece around 7000 BC, link the first Near East agricultural communities to the spread of the new technologies. Draws evidence from many archaeological sources, and introduces new perspectives on funerary rituals and figurines. This item is printed on demand.
