Episode 14: Social Bubbles and Social Networks in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic

Pre History - the archaeology of the ancient Near East

Now that we have seen how people moved over to growing rather than gathering their own food, and settled into villages with the birth of communal village life, we can have a look at some of the other developments happening across the Near East during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic. We can also see how the scale of these changes happening across the Near East has impacted how we understand the scale of social networks between people and between communities in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic. Depending, of course, on how you look at it.
