“…For example, Bourgeois and Kroon (2017) show that similarities in burial rituals were much more uniform transregionally in male burials than in female ones, which indicates that specific layers of gendered identities were shared across regions, while others were not. In many contexts Corded Ware pottery was produced alongside traditional styles with not much tangible change in social practices connected to these novel vessel forms (Beckerman 2015;Iversen 2015;Kroon et al 2019;Salzman 2010;Suter 2017). In others, their occurrence was connected to changes in the settlement pattern (Hecht 2007;Hübner 2005;Müller 1999;Schultrich 2019).…”

This paper discusses and synthesizes the consequences of the archaeogenetic revolution to our understanding of mobility and social change during the Neolithic period in Europe (6500–2000 BC). In spite of major obstacles to a productive integration of archaeological and anthropological knowledge with ancient DNA data, larger changes in the European gene pool are detected and taken as indications for large-scale migrations during two major periods: the Early Neolithic expansion into Europe (6500–4000 BC) and the third millennium BC “steppe migration.” Rather than massive migration events, I argue that both major genetic turnovers are better understood in terms of small-scale mobility and human movement in systems of population circulation, social fission and fusion of communities, and translocal interaction, which together add up to a large-scale signal. At the same time, I argue that both upticks in mobility are initiated by the two most consequential social transformations that took place in Eurasia, namely the emergence of farming, animal husbandry, and sedentary village life during the Neolithic revolution and the emergence of systems of centralized political organization during the process of urbanization and early state formation in southwest Asia.

“…These are often based on processes of imitation that do not necessarily imply direct contact among people (Roux 2015). On the other hand, some traits, such as production techniques, rely on interpersonal interactions and direct technical guidance and are connected to local developments that can help trace tighter networks among people (Kroon et al 2019;Roux 2015). It is possible that similar mechanisms, based on interactions among people that were influenced by spatial propinquity, were operating within Vinča communities, thus generating the pattern of regional variability seen in the archaeological record.…”

This study applies thin-section petrography to a wide selection of ceramic and geological samples from four archaeological sites (Belovode, Pločnik, Gradište-Iđjoš, and Potporanj) belonging to both the Neolithic and Chalcolithic phases of the Vinča culture phenomenon (c. 5350 to 4600 BC) to track intra-and interregional traditions of pottery production with a focus on paste recipes. The results of this study suggest that Vinča pottery manufacturing traditions possess general technical similarities, with significant differences resulting from both environmental constraints and deliberate choices. The comparison of these results with those of other petrographic studies in the Neolithic/Chalcolithic Balkans further emphasises that Vinča pottery reflects numerous communities of practice that fall under the umbrella of 'Vinča culture'. This is visible in the varying processes of selecting and manipulating raw materials for ceramic production. Therefore, differences between Vinča pottery assemblages reflect various models of interaction between people and their landscape as well as different technological traditions. Overall, this approach allows us to discuss the problem of similarities and differences in material culture from a perspective that emphasises the socially constructed nature of ceramics.

“…One of the reasons for the idea that AOO was not due to an invasion of Beaker migrants was that in settlements like Kolhorn there seemed to be a gradual adoption of AOO Beakers in the normal Corded Ware repertoire of the settlements in West Frisia (van der Waals 1984b: 7). This argument is still valid, by the way, and has recently been corroborated by the research of Beckerman and Kroon: it is now clear from settlement evidence that in Late Vlaardingen settlements Corded Ware pottery was adopted by Vlaardingen potters using the same techniques as before (Beckerman 2015;Kroon et al 2019).…”

Professor Diderik van der Waals was born in Amsterdam in 1925. He grew up in a family with four brothers and sisters in the big city, but the weekends they often spent in Boeschoten, a farming estate on the Veluwe in the central Netherlands owned by his grandfather and later by his mother, C E van der Waals-Nachenius. His mother inspired the family with a love of nature and landscape, but also with interest in and support for other people, for instance the farming families on the estate.
