Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Discussion of the use by early Neolithic farmers of hedges to separate stock and wild animals from crops, and of the ways in which hedges might develop (naturally or with human assistance) in the process of forest clearance. Small fields enclosed by thorny bushes would be easily accommodated in Troels-Smith's theory of Neolithic cattle management, and there is evidence in early Neolithic times for a sudden increase in Prunus-related species such as sloe and dog-rose. Moreover, thorny hedges and their associated ground-cover form a valuable source of edible berries which Neolithic man would be unlikely to overlook. Godwin's interpretation of the British pollen evidence as indicating secondary regeneration of cleared woodland is rejected.
