Abstract

AbstractIn this article, the author analyses a group of articles discussing the transition from the Mesolithicto the Neolithic in South Scandinavia from the standpoint of their rhetorical and narrative structure. She uses Hayden White's categories of emplotment, the time-orientation of the articles and their attitudes to centre-periphery to characterise the articles. In this way, the attitudes to modem ideological and rhetorical themes buried in each article is elucidated. In a final section, a debate is opened up on the relationship between agricultural origins and post-processualism.
