Archaeological studies have demonstrated that the trajectories of Neolithisation in Northwest Europe were diverse. This book presents a study into the archaeology of the communities involved in the process of Neolithisation in the Lower Rhine Area (5500-2500 cal BC). It elucidates the role played by the indigenous communities in relation to their environmental context and in view of the changes that becoming Neolithic brought about.This work brings together a comprehensive array of excavated archaeological sites in 606 $aPrehistoric peoples$zEurope 606 $aNeolithic period$zEurope 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples 615 0$aNeolithic period 676 $a930.14 701 $aAmkreutz$b Luc Winand Sophia Wilhelm$01714753 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812880203321 996 $aPersistent traditions$94108855 997 $aUNINA
