Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de dresser un état des connaissances sur les premières sociétés rurales et métallurgiques à l’échelle de la France mais dans un contexte largement européen. De l’avènement des premières communautés d’agriculteurs du Néolithique jusqu’à la guerre des Gaules et la conquête romaine, soit sur les six millénaires avant notre ère, sont examinés les aspects culturels, économiques et sociaux qui ont, au fil du temps, rythmé le quotidien des populations de l’hexagone. À cette fresque ont contribué les meilleurs chercheurs et universitaires issus de toutes les institutions de l’archéologie française. Ce livre se veut aussi le miroir des apports de terrain les plus récents, du développement magistral des fouilles extensives, des avancées méthodologiques en laboratoire des sciences connexes, celles-ci désormais intégrées à part entière dans la sphère de l’archéologie : autant de pistes qui ont contribué à diversifier les approches et à décupler la documentation aujourd’hui disponible. Un nouveau visage de la protohistoire française s’est donc progressivement mis en place : ce volume témoigne sur les acquis les plus saillants de cette profonde mutation.

Knowledge of the origin and spread of farming has been revolutionised in recent years by the application of new scientific techniques, especially the analysis of ancient DNA from human genomes. In this book, Stephen Shennan presents the latest research on the spread of farming by archaeologists, geneticists and other archaeological scientists. He shows that it resulted from a population expansion from present-day Turkey. Using ideas from the disciplines of human behavioural ecology and cultural evolution, he explains how this process took place. The expansion was not the result of 'population pressure' but of the opportunities for increased fertility by colonising new regions that farming offered. The knowledge and resources for the farming 'niche' were passed on from parents to their children. However, Shennan demonstrates that the demographic patterns associated with the spread of farming resulted in population booms and busts, not continuous expansion.

"Communities in Transition brings together scholars from different countries and backgrounds united by a common interest in the transition between the Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age in the lands around the Aegean. Neolithic community was transformed, in some places incrementally and in others rapidly, during the 5th and 4th millennia BC into one that we would commonly associate with the Bronze Age. Many different names have been assigned to this period: Final Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Eneolithic, Late Neolithic [I]-II, Copper Age which, to some extent, reflects the diversity of archaeological evidence from varied geographical regions. During this long heterogeneous period developments occurred that led to significant changes in material culture, the use of space, the adoption of metallurgical practices, establishment of far-reaching interaction and exchange networks, and increased social complexity. The 5th to 4th millennium BC transition is one of inclusions, entanglements, connectivity, and exchange of ideas, raw materials, finished products and, quite possibly, worldviews and belief systems. Most of the papers presented here are multifaceted and complex in that they do not deal with only one topic or narrowly focus on a single line of reasoning or dataset. Arranged geographically they explore a series of key themes: Chronology, cultural affinities, and synchronization in material culture; changing social structure and economy; inter- and intra-site space use and settlement patterns, caves and include both site reports and regional studies."--
