The Later Aeneolithic in Southeastern Europe

Abstract

Changes in the European economy and society during the later Aeneolithic (late fourth to third millennia B. C.) were fundamental in determining the trajectory of cultural change in Europe for at least the next 1500 to 2000 years. Recent research has shown that this period, rather than being a short transition between the "Neolithic" and the "Bronze Age," begins earlier and lasts longer than has been traditionally thought. Thus, the sociocultural, economic, and material transformations observed by the end of the Aeneolithic may be seen to be the result of gradual changes over a considerable period of time, rather than necessitating explanations involving unique dramatic events such as migrations or invasions.
