| Summary: | The world's earliest houses were not merely shelters from the elements or the setting for food preparation, childrearing and other domestic activities, but mysterious places rich with symbolism and even magic. The author synthesizes decades of research on the Neolithic, one of the most critical stages in human development, and addresses the many questions that remain about the relationship of early farmers to their domestic environment and the impact of settled life on the development of civilization. |
