However, the variety of evidence across Europe, the range of languages in which research is carried out, and the way research traditions in different countries have developed makes it very difficult for both students and specialists to gain an overview of continent-wide trends. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Neolithic Europe\u003c\/em\u003e provides the first comprehensive, geographically extensive, thematic overview of the European Neolithic --from Iberia to Russia and from Norway to Malta --offering both a general introduction and a clear exploration of key issues and current debates surrounding evidence and interpretation. Chapters written by leading experts in the field examine topics such as the movement of plants, animals, ideas, and people (including recent trends in the application of genetics and isotope analyses); cultural change (from the first appearance of farming to the first metal artefacts); domestic architecture; subsistence; material culture; monuments; and burial and other treatments of the dead. In doing so, the volume also considers the history of research and sets out agendas and themes for future work in the field.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris Fowler, \u003cem\u003eHead of Archaeology \u0026amp; Senior Lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology, Newcastle University\u003c\/em\u003e, Jan Harding, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology, Newcastle University\u003c\/em\u003e, Daniela Hofmann, \u003cem\u003eJunior Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology, Hamburg University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChris Fowler, Senior Lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology, Newcastle University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJan Harding, Senior Lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology, Newcastle University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDaniela Hofmann, Junior Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology, Hamburg University. \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1202\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.3 x 9.6 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 10, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521483423965,"sku":"9780198832492","price":137.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/r02wNe2WxE9780198832492.webp?v=1772260025","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-neolithic-europe-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
