Overview

Analysis of radiocarbon measurements reveals regional diversity in sociocultural shifts across central Europe, suggesting alternative histories.

Key Points

  • Findings challenge the notion of simultaneous change in central Europe, showing regional diversity in transformations.
  • Analysis of nearly 900 radiocarbon measurements from five regions highlights nuances of prehistory.
  • Study incorporates Bayesian chronological modeling and world-systems analysis to reassess archaeological narratives.
  • Implications point to a delayed adoption of practices in upland regions and the need for further examination.
