In Origins of Agriculture in Europe (Routledge, £50, ISBN 0 4150 8009
6), I. J. Thorpe sifts through the wealth of new evidence for the crucial
transition from Mesolithic hunting and gathering societies to the sedentary
Neolithic farming communities that formed the basis of European civilisation.
Clearly written, and using comparative data from Scandinavia, Britain and
Ireland, this is a thorough and expert assessment of a complex and important
topic.
