TLDR
In this paper, a model for the chronology of Versend-Gilencsa longhouse settlements is presented, and the implications of the new date estimates for a fuller understanding of the layout and duration of LBK LBSs.
Abstract
Longhouses are a key feature of Neolithic Linearbandkeramik (LBK) settlements in Central Europe, but debate persists concerning their usage, longevity and social significance. Excavations at Versend-Gilencsa in south-west Hungary (c. 5200 cal BC) revealed clear rows of longhouses. New radiocarbon dates suggest that these houses experienced short lifespans. This paper produces a model for the chronology of Versend, and it considers the implications of the new date estimates for a fuller understanding of the layout and duration of LBK longhouse settlements.

The symbolic construction of community

TL;DR: In this article, Cohen makes a distinct break with earlier approaches to the study of community, which treated the subject in largely structural terms, and describes how people symbolise and utilise these boundaries to give substance to their values and identities.
