Neolithic Farming in Central Europe: An Archaeobotanical Study of Crop Husbandry Practices
173469271.001.png
NEOLITHIC FARMING IN
CENTRAL EUROPE
Neolithic Farming in Central Europe examines the nature of the earliest crop
cultivation, a subject that illuminates the lives of Neolithic farming families
and the day to day reality of the transition from hunting and gathering to
farming.
Debate surrounding the nature of crop husbandry in Neolithic central
Europe has focused on the permanence of cultivation, its intensity and its
seasonality, variables that carry different implications for Neolithic society.
Amy Bogaard reviews the archaeological evidence for four major competing
models of Neolithic crop husbandry – shifting cultivation, extensive plough
cultivation, floodplain cultivation and intensive garden cultivation – and
evaluates charred crop and weed assemblages. Her conclusions identify the
most appropriate model of cultivation, and highlight the consequences of
these agricultural practices for our understanding of Neolithic societies in
central Europe.
Amy Bogaard is Lecturer in Archaeological Science at the Department
of Archaeology, University of Nottingham. Her main research interests are
early farming practices and archaeobotany.
