Timing and Pace of Neolithisation in the Dutch Wetlands (c. 5000–3500 cal. BC)

This article presents an overview of the current evidence on the process of Neolithisation in the Dutch wetlands. Over the years, several models have been proposed with different perspectives on the timing and pace of the process: a long transition, an early short transition, and a late short transi...
