Economy And Society In Prehistoric Europe by Andrew Sherratt
Changing Perspectives
A synthesis of influential essays that reinterprets Neolithic and Bronze Age Europe through the lens of economic and social change. It highlights the “secondary products revolution” — the intensified use of milk, wool, and animal traction — and shows how innovations in agriculture, pastoralism, and long-distance exchange reshaped mobility, ritual landscapes, and social hierarchies. Drawing on comparative and world-systems perspectives, it connects environmental factors, settlement patterns, and material culture to the emergence of more complex regional economies across prehistoric Europe.
