Abstract:
The Neolithic of Taiwan represents the first stage in the expansion of Austronesian-speaking peoples through the Pacific. Settlement and burial evidence from the Tapenkeng (TKP) or Dabenkeng culture demonstrates the development of the early Taiwanese Neolithic over a period of almost 2000 years, from its origin in the pre-TPK of the Pearl River Delta and south-eastern coastal China. The first TPK communities of Taiwan pursued a mixed coastal foraging and horticultural lifestyle, but by the late TPK rice and millet farming were practised with extensive villages and large settlements. The broad-spectrum subsistence diversity of the Taiwanese Neolithic was an important factor in facilitating the subsequent expansion of Austronesian-speaking peoples to the Philippines and beyond.

Abstract:
The authors provide an overview of animal exploitation in the Chinese Neolithic, emphasising regional differences in meat procurement strategies. While the Yellow river peoples turned from hunting wild animals to the rearing of pigs, dogs, sheep and cattle during the Neolithic, the peoples of the Yangzi valley continued to rely on an abundant supply of wild creatures into their Bronze Age. Their staples were deer, fish and birds and there was a special relationship with fish that extended even to the grave.

Abstract:
These are few sites about 10 000 BP in the early Neolithic period in North China; among these, the Donghulin site is the only one which included the remains of peoples' use of fire (hearth pits), stone implements, pottery objects, and human tombs. The excavation of the Donghulin site in 2001 provides very important information for research on people and culture in the early Neolithic period in North China. The finding of Donghulin Man has filled the gap in our knowledge of human development since the period of the "Upper Cave Man" (30 000a BP) in North China. It is also important for research on people-land relationships.

Abstract:
The cultural transition from the Mesolithic to Neolithic in the Rhône valley has been radically illuminated by excavation in the Grotte du Gardon (Ain). Examination of the well-stratified assemblages shows that flint and pottery associated with early Neolithic cultures in the Mediterranean occurred with lithics of local Mesolithic traditions. The author proposes that during the transitional period in this region in the sixth millennium BC, peoples of the two cultures lived side by side.

Abstract:
Abstract The Early Neolithic is an interesting period for observing the changes that took place in material culture and also in the ideology that influenced the production of personal ornaments. Objects of adornment are useful for understanding how past peoples differentiated themselves on the basis of gender, age, or group affiliation. The Early Neolithic in Italy developed throughout the entire sixth millennium cal. BC, during which the first farming communities settled in the Italian peninsula and islands, with diverse Neolithic groups related to wider-ranging cultural spheres. Early Neolithic ornaments were mainly ring bracelets, manufactured beads and perforated shells or teeth. Through their choice and the raw materials used for their production, individuals and groups emphasized their diverse identities based on shared traditions. Focusing on some of the more significant sites, this article considers similarities and differences in forms and raw materials employed for ornaments by different Early Neolithic groups and how these could have been useful attributes to emphasise identities and in particular the membership of particular social or cultural groups.

Abstract:
Millet is one of the first agricultural crops appeared on the Taiwan island in the Neolithic. However, its share in the diet of the ancient population of the island compared to another culture, i.e. rice, remains rather unclear. Today’s indigenous peoples have legends that emphasize a special attitude to millet as the first crop that appeared in their land. This paper considers the results of scientific investigations held in the south of the Taiwan island, Taitung County, in summer 2019. The investigation is focused on the ritualism of the Jilou sub-ethnos (???), which is a part of the Rukai (???), the Taiwanese highlanders (???). Many aspects of sacred life of the island peoples are related to the millet culture, and traditional calendar is based on its production cycle. During sowing and harvesting, a number of ritual rules and restrictions are strictly applied. Thus, everything related to the millet production falls into the sphere of religion. Millet cakes and wine to thank the deities and ancestral spirits always accompany the most important event of the year, the Harvest Festival. Archaism of the Taiwan aboriginal traditional culture makes the investigation of their agricultural practices very important not only for the island, but also for the entire Southeast Asia in general. This investigation, which covers both ethnography and archaeology, seems to be extremely important for studying the relic signs of traditional food preferences of indigenous peoples, rooted in the Neolithic.

Abstract:
The Adriatic Sea and Balkan Peninsula were an important corridor for the spread of agriculture northwards and westwards from the Near East into Europe. Therefore, the pace and nature of the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition along the Adriatic coastline has important implications for the movement of new peoples and/or ideas during one of the most eventful periods in European prehistory. We present new Early Neolithic radiocarbon and stable isotope evidence from humans and animals from the Zemunica cave site in Dalmatia, Croatia. The results show that these humans date to the earliest Neolithic in the region, and they have completely terrestrial diets, where the main protein source was most likely to have come from domesticated animals. Data are then compared to previous isotope and archaeological evidence to explore models for the spread of agriculture along the eastern Adriatic coast.

Abstract:
Durant la période préhistorique où les gens vivaient en chasseurs-cueilleurs et nomades l'interaction entre les humains et les plantes a connu à long terme diverses modifications. L'agriculture en est une et probablement la plus importante. L'intervention directe de l'homme au cycle vital de différentes plantes l'a conduit aussi à s'installer un nouvel ordre et s'y adapter. Les bases de cette interaction d'une profonde influence sur les deux parties a été jetées séparément dans les différentes contrées du monde au début et au milieu de l'Holocène. Les données les plus anciennes datent environ de 12 000 ans et proviennent de différentes régions de l'Asie du Sud-Ouest. Dans ce processus où la vie Néolithique commence à se former avec ses divers éléments, l'Anatolie centrale est une région spécifique qui se différencie par ses particularités dans le cadre du Néolithique de l'Asie du Sud-Ouest. Dans cette région où le savoir sur la consommation des plantes et les activités agricoles de l'Epipaléolithique et du Néolithique est restreint, Asikli Höjük qui date du Néolithique ancien (9e et 8e millénaires av..1.-C. cal.) est l'un des plus anciens sites. Depuis sa première sédentarisation la communauté d'Asikli connaît l'agriculture et la pratique. Sous un régime où les plantes sauvages et domestiques sont cultivées d'une façon mixte et où la cueillette des plantes sauvages garde son importance la communauté se concentre de plus en plus aux activités agricoles ; la production alimentaire devient une partie importante de la vie. Avec ses 1000 ans d'habitation Asikli est un site privilégié pour comprendre du point de vue local et régional le processus d'appropriation de l'agriculture
The interaction between people and plants experiences various and long-term changes throughout prehistory, in which people mostly lived a hunter-gatherer and nomadic way of life. In this rooted relationship, agriculture represents one of the phases, may be the most important one. With this new behavioural pattern including different plant species and the complete people intervention to the life-cycle of the plants, people toohad to establish new arrangements in their life and harmonize with them. The foundation of this relationship effecting deeply both populations, was laid out independently in different parts of the world during Early and Middle Holocene. The earliest finds,though, come approximately 12.000 years ago from South-west Asia. In this period, the Neolithic way of life emerges with its various aspects, and CentralAnatolia represents a distinct region within South-west Asian Neolithic with its local characters and developments. In this area where our knowledge on Epipaleolithic and Neolithic plant consumption and agricultural practices is limited, A¸sıklı Höyük (9th-8th mill. cal. BC) is one of the earliest sites experiencing the changes on people and plant interaction, and the agricultural way of life. The inhabitants of A¸sıklı hadthe knowledge and practice of agriculture since the earliest occupation phases, andin this life style including cultivation of a mixture of wild and domestic crops and also the importance of gathered wild plants, they focused more and more on the agricultural practices throughout the occupation and made the food production an important part of their life. A¸sıklı community also experienced transformations in different life aspects during its 1.000 years of occupation; therefore, it is a privileged site to understand the process of agricultural adoption both in the local and regional context

Mudd, David. "People and ground stone tools in the Zagros Neolithic : economic and social interpretations of the assemblage from Bestansur, Iraqi Kurdistan." Thesis, University of Reading, 2017. http://centaur.reading.ac.uk/71393/.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent research into ground stone technology has moved beyond the earlier typological approach of describing and classifying the artefact at the point when it entered the archaeological record, towards a perspective which studies the broader sequences of processes and activities by which people made, used, and deposited the artefacts. Most studies of Neolithic Zagros ground stone assemblages have not, until now, been subjected to these new approaches. My thesis analyses and interprets a ground stone assemblage (424 tools and 412 items of debitage and unworked stone) from the Early Neolithic settlement of Bestansur in the Central Zagros (Iraqu Kurdistan). It uses the 'object biography' approach to address these research aims. These are to find and interpret the whole life-history of the artefacts, to identify the characteristics of the people who made and engaged with them, and third, to explore the role of ground stone in the development of social process and relations in the Early Neolithic of the eastern Fertile Crescent, particularly in quotidian and ritual processes such as commensality and funerary practice. The thesis reviews the development of ground stone research in the Neolithic Zagros. It uses the modern techniques of usewear and residue analysis, and draws on ethnographic studies to interpret the role and significance of ground stone in Neolithic Bestansur. In answering these research questions, it shows how ground stone artefacts afforded technological solutions to many problems associated with the development of settled residential life, exploiting the cultivation of plants and the management of animals, and new and more complex social practice and structures, the key changes of the Neolithic in southwest Asia. It also concludes that the presence or absence of ground stone tools can be used to illustrate past processes of abandonment of buildings and settlements.

Abstract:
This study deals with the contribution of the genetic variant lactase persistence among Neolithic people from the Baltic Island Öland. Skeletal remains from twelve individuals went through DNA sequencing in order to find the mutation that allows adult individuals to digest milk sugar. The twelve individuals were chosen from two different Neolithic sites, where the archaeological and isotopic data suggest that the individuals from Köpingsvik were hunters and gatherers and the individuals from Resmo were early farmers. The individuals with the genetic variant lactase persistence can be described with selection and genetic flow.  Only five individuals produced results and the mutation was found in two of the subjects. All the individuals who were successfully sequenced came from Resmo, whereasno individuals from Köpingsvik yielded any results.

Abstract:
Analysis of organic residue absorbed in to the walls of ceramic vessels has proved to be a valuable contributor to the knowledge of prehistoric societies. Based on the analysis of absorbed lipids in the wall of ceramic vessels and existing knowledge and theories about the Pitted Ware culture, an attempt of understanding of the Pitted Ware site Vendel is made. Based on the obtained results and evidences presented throughout the paper it is argued that the Vendel site is a permanent or seasonal settlement, and furthermore that the results seem to reflect a change in vessel use towards the end of the Pitted Ware Culture, and possibly even a change of society, ideology and economy.

Full text
Abstract:
Rivers and their associated wetlands and lakes form a major component in the landscape and yet discussions concerning their usage in early prehistory are rarely undertaken in Britain and Ireland. Exceptions to this have included the work on the Severn, the Shannon and the Humber estuaries. The Thames forms one of the biggest river systems within England and yet modern writers have undervalued it as a resource of early communities. The work within the Thames basin had been somewhat piecemeal with, until recently, attention being focussed primarily on the non-tidal parts of the river system. A consideration of the Mesolithic period had also not been undertaken. The relationship between hunter-gatherers and early farming communities and freshwater resources is examined within two major themes. The first is that of an economic nature (provider of sustenance and raw materials, communication, transport, choice of settlement site) and the second, experiential/symbolic (ritual deposition, sacred and burial sites, rock art). The two themes are not mutually exclusive and the points of overlap are also considered. Understanding of the archaeological record within the Thames basin is approached by the use of ethnographic analogy and archaeological comparison within a number of world regions. The ethnographic material is drawn from communities based on rivers in Australia, the Amazon basin and a number of locations in North America. The archaeological information is primarily from Europe (Britain and Ireland, the North European Plain and the Central European Uplands). Two other areas are briefly examined, namely Old World rivers (the Euphrates, the Jordan and the Nile) and a number of New World sites in North America. Attributes of the themes are drawn out from both the ethnographical and archaeological material. The Thames material is outlined and conclusions drawn in light of these attributes.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the ceramic assemblage from the mound site of An S{u1ECF}n, Long An Province, southern Vietnam. Excavated in 2009, the site has been dated to the second millennium BC, with evidence for neolithic occupation and burials. Very little is known about the neolithic period in southern Vietnam, and the routes and chronology for the appearance of cultivation, domestic animals, and ceramic and lithic technologies associated with sedentary settlements in mainland Southeast Asia are still debated. The ways in which the ceramic material culture at An S{u1ECF}n conforms to the wider neolithic expression observed in Southeast Asia were investigated, and local and regional innovations were identified in this research. The An S{u1ECF}n ceramic assemblage was characterised according to form, decoration and fabric in order to establish a sequence of ceramic forms and decoration, and to interpret the functions of the forms in ritualistic and domestic settings. The fabrics were analysed with scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDX). This was followed by a study of the degree of standardisation of specific forms in order to identify the mental templates for their manufacture. Contextualising the neolithic in southern Vietnam was conducted through a comparative study of material culture between An S{u1ECF}n and the sites of B{u00EA}n {u0110}{u00F2}, B{u00EC}nh {u0110}a, C{u00F9} Lao R{u00F9}a, C{u00E1}i V{u1EA1}n, C{u0203}u S{u1EAF}t, {u0110}a Kai, {u0110}{u00EC}nh {u020E}ng, L{u1ED9}c Giang, R{u1EA1}ch L{u00E1}, R{u1EA1}ch N{u00FA}i and Su{u00F4}i Linh, all in southern Vietnam. The results indicated there were two main groups of sites, one along the V{u00E0}m C{u00F2} {u00D0}{u00F4}ng River, including An S{u1ECF}n, and another along the {u00D0}{u00F4}ng Nai River. Another analysis was carried out to contextualise An S{u1ECF}n in the wider neolithic landscape of mainland Southeast Asia, between An S{u1ECF}n and Ban Non Wat, early Ban Lum Khao, early Ban Chiang, early Non Nok Tha, Khok Charoen, Tha Kae, Khok Phanom Di, Nong Nor (phase 1), Samrong Sen, Laang Spean, Krek, B{u00E0}u Tr{u00F3}, M{u00E1}n B{u1EA1}c and X{u00F3}m Ren. Aspects of material culture at An S{u1ECF}n appear to have ancestral links to distant localities in northeast and central Thailand. There were specific parallels between Nong Nor (phase 1), Krek and An S{u1ECF}n, however the analysis indicated there was ongoing interaction between southern Vietnam and southeastern Cambodia. The initial occupation of An S{u1ECF}n incorporated a small variety of ceramic vessel forms, and there was a rapid introduction of fibre tempering and new forms to the repertoire soon after settlement. The use of fibre temper appeared simultaneously with evidence for domestic animals and the appearance of local ceramic forms, including distinctive wavy rimmed bowls. The assemblage expanded quickly and a community of potters established mental templates for specific forms in terms of morphological, decorative and fabric choices, indicating a long-lasting An S{u1ECF}n ceramic tradition. The potters both recalled the past through continuing adherence to widespread neolithic ceramic traditions, and at the same time invested in new traditions that reaffirmed local identity.

Abstract:
AbstractIn 1969, members of Grupo Espeleológico Edelweiss discovered the Sala and Galerías de las Huellas in Ojo Guareña Cave system (Burgos, Spain). These contained hundreds of ancient human footprints, preserved in the soft sediment on the floor. These footprints represent the tracks of a small group of people who walked barefoot through these complex passages in the cave. Owing to the difficult compatibility of the documentation and preservation of these prints, it was not possible to study them before the development of new non-invasive remote sensing techniques. However, since 2012 optical laser scanning and digital photogrammetry have been used in Galerías de las Huellas, in combination with GIS techniques, to obtain a model of the cave floor, where the footprints and their internal morphology can be observed in detail. We have identified over 1000 prehistoric human footprints and at least 18 distinct trackways through the passages, which could have been left by around 8–10 individuals. Since 2016, an archaeological field study has been conducted in this sector, in order to determine and explore its surrounding area and find other archaeological evidence that may be directly associated with these tracks. Numerous remains of torches are preserved on the walls and floor in the immediate surroundings of the footprint sites. Some of them have been dated, which has revealed the intensive use of this underground landscape from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Mesolithic-Neolithic. However, the remains in Sala and Galerías de las Huellas date solely to the Chalcolithic, around 4300 calBP.

Erdoǧu, Burçin. "An Entanglement Approach to the Neolithic of the Aegean Islands." In Concluding the Neolithic. Lockwood Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.5913/87913.cn.11.

Abstract:
The concept of entanglement has recently gained significant popularity in con- temporary archaeology. In shifting attention away from the anthropocentrism of Human- ism, this approach can be seen to subscribe an overlooked question of the “thing,” and the “New Materialism” movement. The concept of the entanglement advocates that human– human, human–thing, thing–human, and thing–thing relationships and interrelation- ships create dependence and dependency. This article applies the entanglement approach to the prehistoric island communities of the Aegean, especially Neolithic Gökçeada, in the second half of the seventh millennium BC. It explores how Neolithic island commu- nication relied on how things depended on other things and on humans. Islanders were separated from and connected to the lands and peoples that surrounded them. Maritime interaction involved communications between distant peoples, and the vessels came to be seen as essential actors in that they connected people and things.

Abstract:
Population growth and demic diffusion help explain the early Neolithic expansions of agriculture and Transeurasian languages in Northeast Asia. By the Bronze Age, alluvial agrarian states had come to possess considerable political and economic dominance over their subjects in the civilizational centers of Eurasia. At the same time, however, Bronze Age economies offered new opportunities for trade and secondary expansion into areas outside state control. This chapter argues that the resulting population movements—here termed the “secondary peoples’ revolution”—were of great significance in the post-Neolithic dispersals of Transeurasian languages. Four examples are briefly discussed: steppe nomadic pastoralism, Sakha horse and cattle husbandry, northeast Asian hunter-gatherers, and agriculture associated with trade/piracy networks in the Ryukyu Islands.

Full text
Abstract:
For traditional societies, by which we mean those peoples whose worlds are permeated by kin relations and obligations, and among whom past societies such as those of Neolithic Britain are mostly to be counted, the most precious inheritance is knowledge. Inherited knowledge is of many kinds, the most overt of which is instrumental knowledge—how to make a rope from fibre, where to look for and how to utilize medicinal plants, and so on. Alongside this, however, is a plurality of less obvious but equally fundamental knowledges that include kinds of behavioural knowledge (in the sense of customs and prohibitions, for example), forms of discursive awareness (how to negotiate the social world; what to recall and recount as story and history), and understandings of esoteric beliefs and their concomitant ‘necessary’ actions. Collective cultural and customary knowledge, then, is a resource that makes possible the sustaining and renewal of human social relationships through time. There is a modern tendency to see history as a progression of tableaux, or a montage of scenes, a cavalcade; or, as we noted in Chapter 1, an ascent through measurable social evolutionary stages from relative cultural simplicity towards a present of multilayered complexity. In the modern world, history is expressed in the form of narratives that have been standardized and systematically ordered, and published in a diversity of media, as well as being contested by alternative perspectives in print and online. This contrasts with the way that knowledge and tradition are conveyed in societies that lack written literature, which generally takes the form of oral transmission. However, they are also expressed and fixed (however fleetingly) and transformed through the use of material items and material culture, including the built environment. For such societies, history may take the form of a shared memory of significant events, but these are always experienced and mediated through the filters of social relationships of dominance and subordination, and of kinship. This latter is composed of the shifting elements of genealogy, lineage, and descent, although any or all of these may be fictional in character, and open to a degree of manipulation.

Full text
Abstract:
Wild boar are dangerous animals that Paleolithic peoples hunted infrequently for the first million years of human-suid contact. Projectile weapons, nets, and the domestication of dogs allowed Natufian hunter-gatherers (12,500–9700 BC) to find in wild boar a reliable source of food. By the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (9700–8500 BC), human populations had developed close relationships with local wild boar. Intensive hunting or perhaps game management took place at Hallan Çemi in Anatolia, and the introduction of wild boar to Cyprus by at latest 9400 BC indicates the willingness of humans to capture and transport wild boar. At the same time, the presence of sedentary villages and the waste they produced likely attracted wild boar to human habitats. These early relationships between people and suids—game management and commensalism—evolved over the course of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic into full-fledged animal husbandry that, by around 7500 BC, had selected for domestic pigs.

Ban Ta Po is located in the Ban Kao Subdistrict within an area that the Thai-Danish Expedition uncovered the famous Neolithic Ban Kao Culture in 1960. The two-season excavation in 2018 and 2020 discovered 17 burials dated to the Bronze age. The analysis of these individuals that were buried there were mostly infants and children. Two children appeared with some disease lesions on bones like porous on the cranium, a carious tooth related to the localized enamel hypoplasia, and the femoral bowing. All possibly indicate metabolic bone disease caused by a nutrition deficiency.

Abstract:
As a result of the energy transition, the traditional rural landscapes are being threatened by renewable energy macro-projects, often promoted by foreign companies. In response to this threat, our project aims to bring to light the Cultural Heritage hidden in these landscapes, built over centuries by wise hands and minds, using the natural resources available back then, in order to highlight their value and later defend them from this menace. The specific case of the surroundings of El Perelló and l’Ametlla de Mar, in Baix Ebre (Tarragona, Spain), a site with Neolithic, Iberian and Roman settlements, with a calcareous geography, situated between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, is analyzed. A rural landscape, built in a human and family scale, protected by the mountain of “Tossal de Montagut”. An agrarian mosaic drawn by sinuous walks and dry-stone walls, with beautiful and geometric traces, in which houses, wells, hunter shelters, farmyards, etc.., appear. A series of domestic elements that constitute organic ensembles and define a settlement in balance with nature. A place that, if we give in to the threat of these projects, will become into an industrial estate, and whose Cultural Heritage will be destroyed. We propose a reflection on the identity and fragility of these anonymous places, on the need to maintain alive their memory and their Cultural Heritage: natural and built. We try to contribute, from the perspective of the architecture, to the debate on the current conflicts between rural landscapes and renewable energies. Our project proposes to analyze, register, catalogue, redraw, etc. the architectonic elements in the affected landscape (approx. 800 Ha), highlighting the historical value of the place through historic archival work and the recording of the tradition and daily life of local people.

Abstract:
It is likely that the adoption of domestication and sedentary life was promoted by new system of beliefs and occurred in the context of a profound reconfiguration of symbolic and social codes. I will present how personal ornaments can inform on the social reorganization of the communities at the dawn of agriculture by tracking the multiple forms of interactions between individuals, the way people materialized their self-identify and the way they recognized each other. The technological and use wear analyzes of personal adornments, combined to the analysis of a georeferenced database of the bead types used by the last foragers and the first farmers in Europe, explores how interactions networks established between populations led to the social and cultural reconfiguration of the groups and reshaped the cultural geography of Europe 8000 years ago (Rigaud, 2014 Rigaud et al., 2015). Personal ornament analysis reveals the long-term stability in contacts networks that enhanced the circulation of social, technical and economic information essential for the diffusion of the farming lifestyle. The persistence of foragers personal attires within farming communities indicates that personal ornaments likely reflected the most entrenched and lasting facets of farmers ethnicity compared to other cultural proxies (Rigaud et al., 2018).

Brophy, Kenny, and Alison Sheridan, eds. Neolithic Scotland: ScARF Panel Report. Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.9750/scarf.06.2012.196.

Full text
Abstract:
The main recommendations of the Panel report can be summarised as follows: The Overall Picture: more needs to be understood about the process of acculturation of indigenous communities; about the Atlantic, Breton strand of Neolithisation; about the ‘how and why’ of the spread of Grooved Ware use and its associated practices and traditions; and about reactions to Continental Beaker novelties which appeared from the 25th century. The Detailed Picture: Our understanding of developments in different parts of Scotland is very uneven, with Shetland and the north-west mainland being in particular need of targeted research. Also, here and elsewhere in Scotland, the chronology of developments needs to be clarified, especially as regards developments in the Hebrides. Lifeways and Lifestyles: Research needs to be directed towards filling the substantial gaps in our understanding of: i) subsistence strategies; ii) landscape use (including issues of population size and distribution); iii) environmental change and its consequences – and in particular issues of sea level rise, peat formation and woodland regeneration; and iv) the nature and organisation of the places where people lived; and to track changes over time in all of these. Material Culture and Use of Resources: In addition to fine-tuning our characterisation of material culture and resource use (and its changes over the course of the Neolithic), we need to apply a wider range of analytical approaches in order to discover more about manufacture and use.Some basic questions still need to be addressed (e.g. the chronology of felsite use in Shetland; what kind of pottery was in use, c 3000–2500, in areas where Grooved Ware was not used, etc.) and are outlined in the relevant section of the document. Our knowledge of organic artefacts is very limited, so research in waterlogged contexts is desirable. Identity, Society, Belief Systems: Basic questions about the organisation of society need to be addressed: are we dealing with communities that started out as egalitarian, but (in some regions) became socially differentiated? Can we identify acculturated indigenous people? How much mobility, and what kind of mobility, was there at different times during the Neolithic? And our chronology of certain monument types and key sites (including the Ring of Brodgar, despite its recent excavation) requires to be clarified, especially since we now know that certain types of monument (including Clava cairns) were not built during the Neolithic. The way in which certain types of site (e.g. large palisaded enclosures) were used remains to be clarified. Research and methodological issues: There is still much ignorance of the results of past and current research, so more effective means of dissemination are required. Basic inventory information (e.g. the Scottish Human Remains Database) needs to be compiled, and Canmore and museum database information needs to be updated and expanded – and, where not already available online, placed online, preferably with a Scottish Neolithic e-hub that directs the enquirer to all the available sources of information. The Historic Scotland on-line radiocarbon date inventory needs to be resurrected and kept up to date. Under-used resources, including the rich aerial photography archive in the NMRS, need to have their potential fully exploited. Multi-disciplinary, collaborative research (and the application of GIS modelling to spatial data in order to process the results) is vital if we are to escape from the current ‘silo’ approach and address key research questions from a range of perspectives; and awareness of relevant research outside Scotland is essential if we are to avoid reinventing the wheel. Our perspective needs to encompass multi-scale approaches, so that ScARF Neolithic Panel Report iv developments within Scotland can be understood at a local, regional and wider level. Most importantly, the right questions need to be framed, and the right research strategies need to be developed, in order to extract the maximum amount of information about the Scottish Neolithic.
