Figure 5.8 Off-tell structures from Podgoritsa (after Bailey et al. 1998)

Furthermore, in many regions, especially those where programmes of intensive fieldwalking have been undertaken, such as Greece, Serbia and Hungary, the evidence is mounting for landscapes filled with activities and structures not physically attached to the big visible sites. The picture that emerges from all of this is not of an infilling of population but of a major rearrangement of people and their physical relationship with their natural and built environments. The increase in marking places in an otherwise mobile landscape was a symptom of these relationships that was new in some places and strengthened through continuity in others. The major mechanism of this rearrangement across the diverse regions was the enclosure of settlement space. Together all of these core trends underline the increasing importance of the built environment and, most particularly, of village aggregations of houses in the perceptions and actions of people during the fifth millennium BC.
