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.
