Preface - What is civilization?. 1 The beginnings and spread of agriculture. 2 The neolithic cultures of Southeastern and Central Europe. 3 The climax of European civilization: East-Central Europe, 5500-3500 B.C.. 4 The neolithic cultures of Northern Europe. 5 Neolithic cultures of the Adriatic and Central Mediterranean. 6 The neolithic of Western Europe. 7 The religion of the goddess. 8 The sacred script. 9 Social structure. 10 The end of Old Europe: the intrusion of Steppe Pastoralists from South Russia and the transformation of Europe
'...exciting and indisputable evidence of the existence of this goddes-centered civilization....shows civilization did not start at Sumer with its patriarchal hierarchy and beliefs. Instead, the goddess cultures of Old Europe represent a very different but just as authentic form of civilization, one with a highly developed social structure based on a harmonious, nonwarfare-oriented agricultural economy.'
