Andrew Sherratt was a pioneering British archaeologist known for his work on prehistoric Europe. He developed the concept of the "secondary products revolution," highlighting how ancient peoples adapted domesticated animals for new uses like milk, wool, and traction, transforming their societies. Sherratt's research emphasized cultural change through economic and technological innovations, helping to understand the social shifts during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. His ideas have significantly influenced how archaeologists interpret the development of early human communities and their ways of life.
