The transformation of neolithic societies Rune Iversen 1st edition

This book is about socio-cultural developments in eastern Denmark (Zealand, Møn, Falster and Lolland) during the 3rd millennium BC, corresponding to the later Middle Neolithic and the Late Neolithic periods. Following the end of the Funnel Beaker culture, in the early 3rd millennium BC, eastern Denmark entered a culturally heterogeneous period displaying a mixture of various cultural elements usually ascribed to the so-called ‘ Single Grave culture of the Danish islands’. This situation lasted until the end of the millennium and the beginning of the Late Neolithic around 2350 BC.
