The Early Settlement of Northern Europe

This three-volume project presents current knowledge and updated research on the first phases of human settlement in Northern Europe. The temporal focus is on the first millennia of the Holocene and the area of special interest is the Scandinavian countries, the Baltic, and the northern parts of Poland, Germany and Great Britain. The area was among the latest colonised by humans after the Ice Age, thus the archaeological record gives an extraordinary detailed insight into the colonisation and socialisation of post-glacial Europe. During the last decades, the archaeology of this region has made major progress in methodological developments, collecting new data sets and in interdisciplinary research.The three volumes of the series provides these new results, organised according to three major themes. The books are sold as a set at a discount and individual volumes are also available separately:

Volume One
Ecology of Early Settlement in Northern Europe:
Conditions for Subsistence and Survival

Volume Two
Technology of Early Settlement in Northern Europe:
Transmission of Knowledge and Culture

Volume Three
Early Economy and Settlement in Northern Europe:
Pioneering, Resource Use, Coping with Change

Although formally closed, we remain interested in publishing more work on the topics explored this series. To discuss, please email jjoyce@equinoxpub.com
