Review
From the book reviews:
“This is an excellent volume that will be of considerable use to anyone studying the European Neolithic. It is a useful first port of call for students and researchers finding their way into the relevant literature and key sites within a particular region, and it also offers an overview, both in the thematic papers and in the sum of the regional case histories, of the entire phenomenon across Europe.” (Mike Parker Pearson, Journal of Anthropological Research, Vol. 70, 2014)
From the Back Cover
The Neolithic period sees the transformation from hunter-gatherer societies to farming groups, practising agriculture, domestication and sedentism. This lifestyle spread gradually from the Near East into Europe, and archaeologists have long focused on observing the movements of plants, animals and people. However, the changes in domestic architecture of the time have not been examined from an explicitly comparative perspective. Tracking the Neolithic house in Europe: Sedentism, Architecture, and Practice explores the ways in which the transition to sedentism is played out in the earliest houses in the Near East and across Europe.
Along with tracking sedentism, Neolithic houses also allow researchers to address changing cultural and group identity, and the varying social and cosmological significance of building. All these aspects alter considerably as one moves westwards and northwards across the European continent and as sedentism becomes more established in each region.
Chapters are arranged geographically and chronologically to allow for easy comparisons between neighbouring areas. Contributors address:
· Construction materials and architectural characteristics
· How houses facilitated certain kinds of routine practice and dwelling
· The cosmological dimensions of domestic architecture
· The role of tradition and change
Three insightful discussion chapters―on the continent-wide development of Neolithic architecture over time, archaeological approaches to buildings, and anthropological perspectives―round off the volume. Tracking the Neolithic House in Europe: Sedentism, Architecture, and Practice is for archaeologists, anthropologists, and any student of the Neolithic.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Neolithic period is noted primarily for the change from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture, domestication and sedentism. This change has been studied in the past by archaeologists observing the movements of plants, animals and people. But has not been examined by looking at the domestic architecture of the time. Along with tracking the movement of sedentism, Neolithic houses are also able to show researchers the beginnings of cultural identity, group representation through the construction and decoration of these structures. Additionally as agriculture moved west and north in this era, the architecture and material culture shows this change and its significance. Chapters are arranged chronologically so that authors can address differences and similarities of their region to neighboring ones. To ensure continuity, authors have framed the chapters around the following considerations: construction materials and architectural characteristics; how houses facilitated or perpetua 416 pp. Englisch.
