The process of Neolithisation in southeastern Poland – selected problems
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.23858/APa57.2019.003Keywords:
Early Neolithic, Mesolithic, Polish lands, Neolithisation, Danubian culturesAbstract
The article is devoted to a critical discussion of the current concepts of the Neolithisation of Polish lands – from the migration models of colonisation to those that do not exclude the participation of the indigenous Mesolithic population in this process. None of the cited concepts explores the socio-cultural, internally conditioned, mechanisms of this epochal change. In the context of these mechanisms, one should look for the necessary and sufficient conditions for the change to occur, in the form of conscious (or more often unconscious) reinterpretation of symbols, norms and socio-cultural structures. This text outlines a fresh area to be explored in future studies of Neolithisation.
