Reviews

this book will be of keen interest to prehistorians rethinking the way they understand one of the most innovative periods of human history.
*Current World Archaeology*

Early Farmers is an important landmark to understand the changes at play within the discipline ... a very impressive selection of articles, covering almost all aspects of the Neolithic as it appears today. In terms of readership, Early Farmers will be of use to any specialist of the Neolithic in Europe interested in new approaches and material to compare his/her own results. The compact format of the book and its specific research focus also make it an ideal resource to train archaeology students and make them aware of the different methods of reconstructing the past.
