Bol This volume forms part of a two-volume study presenting the results of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary investigation of the Younger Neolithic enclosure (c. 4300–3900 BC) and the Late Neolithic settlement (c. 3000–2900 BC) at Riedling in Lower Bavaria. Both phases coincide with periods of profound social and economic change in Europe. During the Younger Neolithic, expanding contact networks, the appearance of new materials and technologies, and possible shifts toward more hierarchical social relations reshaped communities. In the Late Neolithic, attention turns to developments preceding the emergence of the Corded Ware phenomenon. The evidence from Riedling contributes significantly to debates surrounding both transformations. The Younger Neolithic enclosure at Riedling is characterised by large-scale, highly structured depositions of material culture and human remains. These practices provide a unique basis for exploring ritual innovation, social differentiation, and the relationship between symbolic behaviour and emerging hierarchies. The site also offers important new data on chronology, mobility, and economic organisation. For the Late Neolithic settlement, the analyses suggest that several social and economic changes often attributed to the Corded Ware period were already underway earlier, indicating a more gradual transition than previously assumed. Excavated under rescue conditions, Riedling is documented here through detailed analyses of pottery, lithics, textile tools, bone and antler artefacts, daub, animal and human remains, and plant material. These studies are supported by provenance analyses, isotopic research, lipid residue analysis, use-wear studies, and Bayesian chronological modelling. This publication situates Riedling within its wider regional and European context, with particular attention to mobility, exchange networks, and social inequality. Contributions are published in both English and German, each accompanied by extensive summaries in the other language.
