REGIONAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL FRAMEWORKS

Since early discussions on the absolute dating of the southern Scandinavian and northern German Neolithic (Hoika 1994), the resolution of chronologies has improved rapidly (Müller et al. 2010). Whilst 20 years ago different regions were still treated as one, recent studies confirm quite different regional shifts in the introduction of new ways of life, and especially of new pottery styles (compare Lübke and Terberger 2005 with Koch 1998). A regional and chronological framework for ceramics has been produced based on ceramic decoration and shape (Fig. 30.2). Whilst spatially bounded and chronologically restricted regional ceramic groups are indicated by specific shapes, techniques, and ornamentation (Andersen 1997; Andersson et al. 2004; Ebbesen 1975, 1978; Hartz and Lübke 2004; Hoika 1987; Hulthen 1977; Koch 1998; Madsen 1994; Malmer 2002; Meurers-Balke and Weninger 1994; Nielsen 1994; Persson 1999), general trends in decoration ratios or the range of vessel shapes are linked to social frameworks of the Funnel Beaker (TRB) North Group.
