Abstract
Abstract A two component model is proposed for description of the underlying mechanisms of the emergence and spread of early farming in Europe. Two basic mechanisms are established. The first one is a short-term, rapid transition based on the internal evolution of the late Epi-Mesolithic communities which drives the system defined by those communities to a higher technical and socioeconomic state i.e. introduction of more productive activities: agriculture, domestication etc. The second mechanism describes the spread of early farming over vast regions in relatively short time. This involves the processes of culture diffusion, culture drift and has boundary solution. On each boundary the process of early fanning spread stops and after considerable time delay starts again thus constituting 'travelling wave'.
