Summary
The meeting on the Times of Change and the present volume of the papers presented at that meeting, considering the vast amount of new and unprecedented information on the “mature” state of Neolithic culture that has been available over the course of the past decade or so, set forth a new challenge to our understanding of the roots of our present-day civilization. We should all be grateful to the organizers for bringing together leading scholars in this field and making available not only the most recent data, but more specifically the much-needed broad-spectrum synthesis of that critical period. This chapter will not be a per se review of the other chapters in this volume; on the contrary, we shall add some remarks looking for common ground as well as for controversies that surfaced during this meeting.
