	Neolithic long house
		The Neolithic long house was a long, narrow timber dwelling built by the first farmers in Europe around 7,000 years ago.
		Long houses are present across numerous regions and time periods in the archaeological record.
		It is thought that these Neolithic houses had no windows and only one doorway.

	housing through the ages
		In levels of excavation dating 500 years he found the remains of a number of round houses roughly 6 metres in diameter, which are the oldest Mesolithic houses to be found in Ireland and they predate anything found in Britain.
		The house measured 6.5 metres by 6 metres, it was orientated from east to west.
		Most Bronze Age houses seemed to have been curvilinear using the wattle and daub building method, however an oval shaped stone built house was found at Carrigillihy, Co. Cork dating to c.1100 B.C. This house was surrounded by a yard and enclosed by a stone wall and two similar sites were found at Aughinish Island.

	Long house information - Search.com
		In archaeology and anthropology, a long house or longhouse is a type of long, narrow single room building built by peoples in various parts of the world including Asia, Europe and North America.
		The Neolithic long house type that was introduced with the first farmers of central and western Europe around 5000 BC.
		A traditional house type on the island of Siberut, part of the Mentawai Islands some 130 kilometers to the west of the coast of Sumatra is also described as Longhouse.

	Neolithic Stone Age in Prehistoric Ireland
		The Neolithic settlers set about clearing upland forest (which was thinner and easier to clear than lowland forest) with stone axes, or by burning it, in order to build their permanent farms.
		Neolithic farmers may have lived in larger communities than the Mesolithic Irish did, with a number of families living in a cluster of houses with perhaps a larger multi-purpose building in the centre.
		A Neolithic house was rectangular and made either from tree trunks sunk vertically into the ground or from woven branches covered with mud.

		Unlike most houses in British prehistory, which are circular, this was rectangular, with slots for the walls at one end, but posts at the other end.
		However a few sherds of plain bowls of early Neolithic type were found in some of the slots, so it presumably dates to this period.
		At the right, was a circular structure, which may be a thousand years later, as Late Neolithic grooved ware pottery was found in the vicinity, as well as some Peterborough ware.

		Earthen or stone-built long barrows are usually, when in a fair state of preservation, higher and broader at one end, often orientated to the East.
		These surrogate long houses contained deposits of human bone that were added to and subtracted from, for more than a millennium, and rites pertaining to ancestors and fertility were no doubt performed.
		Long barrows, the long houses of the dead, should be regarded as shrines rather than mausolea.

	The Neolithic Cultures
		In the entire Middle Neolithic period throughout Greece, the only evidence for a "cemetery" is a group of secondary cremation burials in a cave at Prosymna in the Argolid.
		To this Larissa phase dates the cemetery at Souphli, the earliest true cemetery of the Thessalian Neolithic, in which the cremated bones of the dead were crammed into fl- burnished jars each of which was buried in an individual pit.
		The Late Neolithic in Thessaly is often referred to as the "Dimini culture" (for example, by Vermeule), but this is misleading in that the rich finds from Dimini itself represent a provincial eastern Thessalian variant of the later LN period in Thessaly as a whole.

	Online Archaeology - Neolithic Houses in Mainland Britain : A Sceptical View (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Those 'houses' which have been excavated to date are generally in one way or another atypical, and archaeologists have tended to interpret the atypical as the norm.
		While large, timber-framed houses are rather rare in the T.R.B., the comparative proximity of sites of Bandkeramik tradition to the south seems to have conditioned the interpretation of a range of different features as longhouses.
		As Strathern (1988, 94) indicates, the implication of this line of thought is that the domestic comes to be taken as a sphere of activity which is biologically-based, and somehow precedes the social.

		It was characterized by stone tools shaped by polishing or grinding, dependence on domesticated plants or animals, settlement in permanent villages, and the appearance of such crafts as pottery and weaving.
		Regional cultures are present in the Nile Valley from the Middle Neolithic to the Egyptian 1st Dynasty.
		In the Khartoum Neolithic phase contemporary with the Naqada period of Upper Egypt, a major center comparable in size to the great sites of Upper Egypt was established at Taragma near Meroe, a concentration previously unsuspected in the region (Reinold 1987: 17-43).

	Prehistoric Scotland: Neolithic Era (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Neolithic is an archaeological construct which means the moving away from a hunter gatherer way of life to a settled farming one.
		On mainland Scotland Neolithic longhouses have been discovered at Balbridie in northern Kincardineshire and at Crathes and Monboddo, these last two have not been excavated, however, and their dating is less certain.
		Curiously, the settlers there sunk their houses deep in an existing midden (a refuse pile), so they almost appear to be underground burrows, or almost prehistoric defensive shelters.

		While the houses of their predecessors are easy to find, those belonging to Cerny are still difficult to discern.
		Long lines were characteristic of the elongated houses of the Danubians, predecessors of the Cerny inhabitants, who settled the region in the second half of the sixth millennium.
		It is impossible in the Neolithic to imagine a centralized power able to direct hordes of slaves; more likely, trade and alliances compelled participation, and the building became a communal project where groups labored as a sign of good will.

		Trench H2, excavated to stereo, produced no Neolithic remains, nor did trench G1, the lowest level of which was at or near stereo at the end of the digging to date.
		In all trenches where Neolithic deposits have been encountered, they immediately underlie deposits of the Archaic period or later and the uppermost Neolithic layers usually contain many small worn sherds suggesting that there was a long hiatus during which the site was abandoned.
		It was found in Middle Neolithic levels near and partly within the southeast scarp of trench F2; only part of the skeleton was retrieved because of the danger that the scarp would collapse.

		A major step forward in our understanding of Neolithic winemaking came from the analysis of a yellowish residue inside a jar (see photo at top of page) excavated by Mary M. Voigt at the site of Hajji Firuz Tepe in the northern Zagros Mountains of Iran.
		That the room in which the jars were found functioned as a kitchen was supported by the finding of numerous pottery vessels, which were probably used to prepare and cook foods, together with a fireplace.

		The long mound of Prissé-la-Charrière belongs to the broad family of Neolithic long mounds which are found across northern and western Europe from Poland to Aquitaine.
		In Brittany, radiocarbon dating undertaken in the 1960s suggested that the first Neolithic chambered tombs were the passage graves, of which the oldest examples were dated (by some of the first radiocarbon analyses to become available) to the early 5th millennium BC (Coursaget et al.

		Conflicts inevitably arose between the established farmers and landowners and those setting up new houses and enclosures on the mountain, and there were concerted campaigns in the 1780s to break down the fences of illegal enclosures by the legitimate commoners and the agents of the Grosvenor estate.
		A considerable increase in population took place during the later 17th and later18th centuries following the rapid expansion of the mining industry, a substantial proportion of the incomers being Derbyshire miners and their families, and it is to this date that most of the nucleated settlements in the area belong.
		Of the larger houses in the area, Henblas is a stone-built building dated to 1651, and Halkyn Hall is an early brick-built house, dated to 1674, with some earlier elements.

	The Yarnton Project - Neolithic and Bronze Age Settlement and Landscape
		The archaeological remains primarily date from the early Neolithic through to the end of the Bronze Age and represent both domestic and funerary/ceremonial aspects of life in early prehistory.
		The settlement areas, comprising small circular buildings, a large Neolithic long house, and numerous pits, and fenclines, were found to be part of a much wider landscape represented by occupation layers, areas of burnt mound activity, waterholes, and structures within palaeochannels.
		The funerary and ceremonial aspects of life were also represented at Yarnton in the form of monuments such as a long enclosure, ring ditches, a U-shaped enclosure, as well as Beaker burials and cremation deposits.

		Most importantly, Neolithic communities of the ancient Near East and Egypt were permanent, year-round settlements made possible by domesticated plants and animals.
		Of special significance is the appearance of pottery vessels around 6000 B.C. The plasticity of clay made it an ideal material for forming shapes such as narrow-mouthed vats and storage jars for producing and keeping wine.

		These dates mean that the earliest phases of the settlement were standing long before the construction of the Ring of Brodgar, and are perhaps contemporary with the Standing Stones of Stenness.
		Towards the western outskirts of the settlement, and overlooking the water of the Stenness Loch, is a large geophysics anomaly that may be a chambered cairn.
		The long, thin trench showed extensive areas of stonework, with what appeared to be a large paved area towards the centre of the settlement.

		For many years, archaeologists researching the Neolithic period in Britain - the period when farming began - focused on the great surviving monuments such as causewayed camps or megalithic tombs, the places where people performed 'rituals' and were buried.
		Part of the package of changes brought about by the Neolithic Revolution, according to the early 20th century archaeologist Gordon Childe, was village life - a sedentary existence based on cultivated cereals and domestic livestock - and work on the Continent had revealed numerous villages and farms.
		The British Neolithic clearly needed a rethink, and the result was a new orthodoxy that has held sway for nearly 20 years.
