4 • The Neolithization: A Micro-Regional Approach
Abstract
The frontier region of the Southern Buh Valley experienced three distinct waves of Neolithisation, likely interspersed with episodes of cultural landscape abandonment. These de-Neolithisation events provide the foundation for a discontinuous model of Neolithisation in the frontier regions of Eastern and Northern Europe. Evidence of interactions between early farmers and ceramic-using hunter-gatherers is examined through chronology, settlement patterns, soil exploitation, and overlapping viewsheds. However, until now, such evidence remains largely indirect prior to the fifth millennium BCE, becoming more tangible only in the period leading up to the formation of the Steppe Eneolithic.
