Wood usage at Dutch Neolithic wetland sites

摘要

While archaeobotanical research on neolithisation often focuses on subsistence and farming practices, also wood exploitation practices can provide information on continuity and change during the neolithisation process. Earlier research has revealed that wood exploitation strategies in Dutch wetlands remained mostly stable during the transition from the Mesolithic to the Early and Middle Neolithic. The development throughout the later Neolithic is however poorly understood since wood exploitation strategies from later Neolithic sites in the same region were until now hardly available.
