Cultural Landscapes and Neolithisation Processes: Outline of a model for the Scheldt basin (Belgium)

Blog Article

Recent research has indicated the continuation of a hunting-fishing-gathering way of life in the lower Scheldt basin (Belgium) for over a millennium after the first arrival of agriculture in the middle Scheldt.Current evidence suggests multiple hiatuses in cultural change from the late 6th-late 5th millennium BC.This article provides the outline of a model hot water bottle that seeks to explain these hiatuses from the perspective of indigenous hunter-fisher-gatherer cultural landscapes.The outline investigates the significance of palaeoecological and social contexts in relation to contact and cultural transmission processes during the transition to agriculture.
