Publisher Description: This book explores the social dynamics of early village societies, focusing specifically on the transition from the Neolithic to the Copper Age and the development of Early Copper Age village communities in the K r s Region on the Great Hungarian Plain. In order to model how Copper Age villages evolved from their Neolithic predecessors, different theoretical and methodological perspectives were incorporated, and data on settlement patterns and organization, mortuary customs, economy, and interaction were considered in a diachronic framework and at multiple geographic scales. The model developed here contributes to a more nuanced understanding of prehistoric socio-economic and cultural transformations in prehistoric Europe and in other parts of the world. |
