Linear Band Pottery culture

The Linear Band Pottery culture, lasting around 5500 to 4500 BCE in Central Europe, was among the first Neolithic societies to adopt farming and animal domestication. Known for their distinctive pottery decorated with linear patterns, they built semi-permanent settlements with pottery, tools, and storage pits. This culture marks a key transition from hunter-gatherer lifestyles to settled farming communities, contributing to widespread agricultural development. Their innovations helped spread farming techniques across Europe, laying foundational social and technological groundwork for future societies.
