Description
Reconstructing the lives of prehistoric farmers in Europe, Graeme Barker presents a comprehensive account of this pivotal period in history.
By integrating modern archaeological techniques with extensive knowledge of European archaeology, Barker provides a detailed picture of prehistoric farming practices, including the types of animals kept, their care and breeding, as well as crops grown and cultivation methods.
The social organisation that drove agricultural change is also explored, with Barker drawing parallels between early European farming and classical and medieval agriculture to highlight lessons for modern industrial farmers.
