Not Very Patrilocal European Neolithic

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Not Very Patrilocal European Neolithic by Bradley E. Ensor, published by Archaeopress in 2021. This compelling paperback, spanning 252 pages, delves into two decades of strontium isotope research focused on Neolithic European burials. It challenges the prevailing narrative that these societies were patrilocal, suggesting a different understanding of social structures and residential mobility, particularly for women. By integrating findings from high-profile ancient DNA studies, Ensor provides a fresh social anthropological perspective on kinship that invites readers to rethink established interpretations. Ideal for scholars and enthusiasts of archaeology and anthropology, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of Neolithic society.
