This volume summarizes 30 years of fieldwork in Denmark, some of the evidence for the spread of agriculture and the Neolithic into Scandinavia and some opinions about the origins of agriculture. It is intended to be both academic and personal and to describe the actual process of research, because most projects involve elements of both. Each chapter will deal with one of the components of the project – survey, testing and excavations. Eight sites were excavated from the Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic and these are discussed in this volume. The concluding chapter summarizes research in the area and proffers opinions on a variety of archaeological subjects, with visits to climate change, seasonality and sedentism, hunter-gatherer complexity, aDNA, inequality and the origins and spread of agriculture.
T. Douglas Price is Weinstein Professor of European Prehistory Emeritus and Retired Founder and Director of the Laboratory for Archaeological Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is 6th Century Chair in Archaeological Science Emeritus at the University of Aberdeen and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences.
