Creating Communities cover

The aim of this book is to raise questions about the investigation of identity, community and change in prehistory, and to challenge the current state of debate in Central European Neolithic archaeology. Although the LBK is one of the best researched Neolithic cultures in Europe, here the material is used in order to further explore the interconnection between individuals, households, settlements and regions, explicitly addressing questions of Neolithic society and lived experience. By embracing a variety of approaches and voices, this volume draws out some of the cross-cutting concerns which unite LBK studies in their different regional research contexts and paves the way for further debate on the subject.

Creating Communities will stimulate much further reflection about aspects of Linear Pottery life. Reading the essays is pleasant, since each supports reasoned argument with data and clear illustrations. The editors obviously stressed clarity and focus. Moreover, the essays advance the discussion in promising directions and challenge those who see things differently to strengthen their arguments. The people of the longhouses are in good hands.' -- European Journal of Archaeology European Journal of Archaeology
