Abstract:
Models attributing the origins of the British Neolithic to developing Mesolithic complexity are said to founder on the paucity of evidence for activity during the fifth millennium cal BC. The Scottish transition is examined and it is argued that the onset of the Neolithic was primarily a cognitive and cultural event rather than an economic transformation. It is suggested that knowledge of the existence of complex Neolithic societies in northern Europe may have inhibited Late Mesolithic self-confidence, resulting in suppression of identity, thus creating the impression of hiatus that precedes Neolithicization.
