Article Synopsis
- Farming has significantly changed societies worldwide, but there is still debate on how quickly and thoroughly this transition occurred, especially in Northern Europe.
- Research from the Western Baltic reveals that even after domesticated crops and animals were introduced around 4000 B.C., people continued to utilize marine and freshwater resources in over 20% of ceramic vessels.
- The study's findings suggest that while pottery usage evolved, it doesn't support the idea that farming completely replaced traditional economies or that Neolithic pottery was solely linked to domesticated products.
