Abstract
Ideology and social structure of stone age communities in Europe
1 - 142
The proceedings of a conference on social organisation and ideology of the later Mesolithic and Neolithic in Europe (c. 8000--4000 BP) held in Wassenar, the Netherlands, in April 1994. Of the fifteen papers presented, the following are most relevant: `Stone age, ideology and scaling the ladder of inference', by Annelou van Gijn & Marek Zvelebil (3--11), considers the difficulty of interpreting archaeological evidence for ideology, with deference to C Hawkes's 1954 analogy, and provides an overview of the themes of the volume; `Domestication as a state of mind' by Richard Bradley (13--17), examines the Mesolithic/Neolithic transition as reflected in the evidence for ritual activity; while in `The materiality of the Mesolithic--Neolithic transition in Britain' Julian Thomas (57--64) discusses the characterisation of the Neolithic period and the relationship between material and social culture; `Taskscape, technology and tradition' by Mark Edmonds (99--110) looks at the complexity of the changes that took place in the transition from Mesolithic to Neolithic, with reference to settlement and stoneworking in southern Britain; `Stone age ideologies' by John C Barrett (121--9) reviews archaeological interpretations of the past; a social-anthropologist's view of the problems is presented in `Remarks on the problem of inferring ideology and social structure from artifacts of human action' by E D Lewis (131--42).
