 Neolithic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These stuctures (and their later Neolithic equivalents such as causewayed enclosures, burial mounds, and henges) required considerable time and labour to construct, which suggests that some influential individuals were able to organise and direct human labour.
There is also good evidence for fortified settlement at Linearbandkeramic sites along the Rhine, as well as evidence for inter-group conflict from Neolithic sites in Britain.
Control of labour and inter-group conflict is characteristic of corporate-level or 'tribal' groups, headed by a charismatic individual (e.g., a 'big man', or proto-chief) such as a lineage group head.

 Adze - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Polished adzes and axes made of ground stone, like amphibolite, basalt or Jadeite are typical for the Neolithic period.
Shoe-last adzes or celts, named for their typical shape, are found in the Linearbandkeramic and Rössen cultures of the early Neolithic.
More modern adzes are made from steel with wooden handles, and some people still use them extensively: occasionally those in semi-industrial areas, but particularly 'revivalists' such as those who exist at the Colonial Williamsburg cultural center in Virginia, USA.

The westernmost extensions of the culture, based on a linearbandkeramic tradition are found in eastern Brittany (Le Haut Meé).
The use of schist from the eastern edge of the Breton Massif for bracelets in settlements in the Paris Bassin attests to widespread trade.
Some scholars see an influence of the central European Linearbandkeramic culture in the finds from the of and (Morbihan), but this should rather be connected to the la Hoguette tradition, ultimately of extraction.

 danubian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The beginning of the Linearbandkeramic dates to around 5500 BC cal. They appear to have spread westwards up the Danube valley and interacted with the cultures of Atlantic Europe when they reached the Paris Basin.
They made Linearbandkeramic pottery and kept domesticated cows, pigs, dogs, sheep and goats.
The diagnostic tool of the culture is the Shoe-last celt, a kind of long thin stone adze which was used to fell trees and sometimes as weapon, as the skulls of Talheim in Germany and Schletz in Austria show.

They can be formed as various kinds of triangles, lunate shaped, trapezes etc. The shape of the microlith can be used for dating.
Some types of microliths, like trapezes, were used in the Neolithic as well (Linearbandkeramic, Funnelbeaker culture).
Microliths were produced during the middle stone age (Mesolithic), in a period which is in some areas denoted as the epipalaeolithic.

In central Europe, adzes made by knapping flint are known from the late Mesolithic onwards ("Scheibenbeile").

Based on two case studies, this paper will argue the existence of a border between two different population units of the Linearbandkeramic culture (at the end of the 6th Millenium bc).
For the areas in question, a different raw material spectrum can be attested for the whole Middle Linearbandkeramic.
Differences in the style of ceramic decoration on both sides of the "border" only show up by Late Linearbandkeramic times.

 Neolithic - Neolithic Art
The mesolithic statues of Lepenski Vir at the Iron Gorge, Serbia and Montenegro date to the 7th millennium BC and represent either humans or mixtures of humans and fish.
In Central Europe, many Neolithic cultures, like Linearbandkeramic, Lengyel and Vinca, produced female (rarely male) and animal statues that can be called art.
Whether the elaborate pottery decoration of, for example, the Želiesovce and painted Lengyel style are to be classified as art is a matter of definition.

Others however are still visible in the countryside as barrows between 15 and 125m long and surviving to heights of 4-5m.
It has been conjectured that long barrows are derived from the timber long houses built by the continental Neolithic European Linearbandkeramic culture which was contemporary with the British Mesolithic.
Archaeologists including Ian Hodder have noted similarities between the two forms although a significant number of long mounds in southern England have been demonstrated more recently to have limited primary evidence of burial at all.
