Neolithic Farming in Central Europe: An archaeobotanical study of crop husbandry practices
Amy Bogaard
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.
