Description

The Linear Pottery Culture (Linearbandkeramik, or LBK) represents one of the earliest farming communities in prehistoric Europe, marking a transformative period in European Neolithic history. Emerging around 5500 BC and lasting until about 4500 BC, the LBK culture is primarily known for its distinctive pottery, settlement patterns, and agricultural practices. This culture spread extensively across Central Europe, including regions of modern-day Germany, and it played a crucial role in the Neolithic expansion.

Geographical and Environmental Context

The Linear Pottery Culture primarily flourished in the fertile loess plains of Central Europe. Germany, with its temperate climate and rich, arable soils, provided an ideal environment for agriculture. These areas supported the early LBK settlements, from the upper Danube basin and extending to the Rhine and beyond into present-day Poland, France, and the Czech Republic.

Settlements

LBK communities are recognized for their linear settlements, which often consisted of groups of longhouses. These longhouses, typically up to 20 meters in length, were built using timber frames covered with clay and thatch. These structures served as the primary living quarters and were often accompanied by smaller outbuildings and granaries. Settlements were strategically located near water sources and on fertile lands to support farming and animal husbandry.

Economy and Subsistence

The Linear Pottery Culture marked a significant shift from hunter-gatherer societies to more settled agricultural communities. The economy was primarily based on farming, with the cultivation of emmer wheat, einkorn wheat, barley, and legumes. The LBK people practiced crop rotation and used primitive plowing techniques to enhance yields.

Animal husbandry was also integral, involving cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. These animals provided not only meat but also secondary products like milk and hides. The combination of agriculture and pastoralism supported relatively stable and growing populations.

Pottery

The LBK is named after its characteristic pottery, which featured linear bands and incised patterns. These ceramic vessels were primarily utilitarian, used for cooking, storage, and other domestic purposes. The pottery styles and decorations varied regionally, demonstrating a blend of local traditions and wider LBK influences.

Social Structure and Organization

The evidence suggests that LBK societies were relatively egalitarian, with social organization centered around extended family units. The longhouses may have housed multiple generations, and their uniformity in size and construction hints at some level of social equality. However, variance in grave goods indicates that some status differentiation existed, possibly based on age, gender, or familial roles.

Burial Practices and Spiritual Life

Burial practices during the Linear Pottery Culture were diverse. Inhumation was common, with graves often aligned east-west and bodies interred in a contracted position. Grave goods, when present, included pottery, stone tools, and personal ornaments, suggesting beliefs in an afterlife and the importance of burial rites.

Spiritual life likely involved animistic beliefs and reverence for natural features. There is evidence of ritual sites and practices, although concrete details remain sparse. The construction of enclosures and large ditches at some sites might indicate ritualistic or defensive purposes.

Legacy and Influence

The Linear Pottery Culture laid the groundwork for subsequent Neolithic cultures in Europe. Its innovations in agriculture, pottery, and settlement patterns influenced many later European societies. The spread of agriculture through the LBK's expansion contributed significantly to the shaping of Europe's demographic and cultural landscape.

The LBK culture's demise around 4500 BC was gradual, giving way to regional cultures that built upon its foundation. These successor cultures continued to develop and refine the agricultural practices and social structures that began during the LBK period, leading to the complex societies of the later Neolithic and Bronze Age.

In summary, the Early Neolithic Linear Pottery Culture in Germany represents a pivotal moment in European prehistory, where innovation in farming and settlement laid the foundations for future societal developments. Its legacy is evident in the spread of agricultural practices and the lasting impact on European cultural evolution.

Genome-wide patterns of selection in 230 ancient Eurasians
Authors:
Mathieson I, Lazaridis I, Rohland N
Abstract:

Ancient DNA makes it possible to observe natural selection directly by analysing samples from populations before, during and after adaptation events. Here we report a genome-wide scan for selection using ancient DNA, capitalizing on the largest ancient DNA data set yet assembled: 230 West Eurasians who lived between 6500 and 300 bc, including 163 with newly reported data. The new samples include, to our knowledge, the first genome-wide ancient DNA from Anatolian Neolithic farmers, whose genetic material we obtained by extracting from petrous bones, and who we show were members of the population that was the source of Europe's first farmers. We also report a transect of the steppe region in Samara between 5600 and 300 bc, which allows us to identify admixture into the steppe from at least two external sources. We detect selection at loci associated with diet, pigmentation and immunity, and two independent episodes of selection on height.
