Summary
I will advance a new synthesis of the Scandinavian Neolithic, c. 4000-2000 BC. A period when agricultural life was introduced by migrating farmers as shown by recent DNA studies. By combining archaeological evidence with genetic results and theoretical considerations on mobility and migration, the book offers an interdisciplinary and pioneering narrative on this crucial period in human history.
