BALKAN PREHISTORY

The period from 6500 to 2500 BC was one of the most dynamic eras of the

prehistory of south-eastern Europe, for it saw many fundamental changes in the

ways in which people lived their lives. This up-to-date and authoritative synthesis

both describes the best excavated relevant Balkan sites and interprets long-term

trends in the central themes of settlement, burial, material culture and economy.

Prominence is given to the ways people organized themselves, the houses and

landscapes in which they lived and the objects, plants and animals they kept. The

key developments are seen as the creation of new social environments through

the construction of houses and villages, and a new materiality of life which filled

the built environment with a wide variety of objects. Against the prevailing trends

in European prehistory, the author argues for a prehistoric past riven with tension

and conflict, where hoarding and the exclusion of people was just as frequent as

sharing and helping.

Balkan Prehistory provides a much-needed guide to a period which has previously

been inaccessible to western scholars. It will be an invaluable resource for

undergraduates, advanced students and scholars.

Douglass W.Bailey is Lecturer in European Prehistory at the School of History

and Archaeology, Cardiff University. He has carried out extensive fieldwork in

Bulgaria and Romania.
