About This Item
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996. Pictorial boards, xv, 443 pages, illustrations, maps; 26 cm. Cambridge World Archaeology Series. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. "Dr Whittle reviews the latest archaeological evidence on Neolithic Europe from 7000 to 2500 BC. Describing important areas, sites and problems, he addresses the major themes that have engaged the attention of scholars: the transition from a forager lifestyle; the rate and dynamics of change; and the nature of Neolithic society. He challenges conventional views, arguing that Neolithic society was rooted in the values and practices of its forager predecessors right across the continent. Only gradually did new attitudes emerge, to time and the past, to the sacred realms of ancestors and the dead, to nature and to the concept of community. Unique in its broad and up-to-date coverage of long-term processes of change on a continental scale, this revised version of Whittle's Neolithic Europe: A Survey reflects radical changes in the evidence and in interpretive approaches over the past decade." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to. Collectible.
