Description:	This volume is the result of a session organised at the World Archaeological Congress in Dublin in 2008. The inspiration was the editors’ common interest in the house as a key element of what is traditionally defined as a Neolithic lifestyle. One of us is particularly focused on the geographical and chronological end points of the European sequence, where houses are plentiful and distinctive but short-lived. The other was working in the Early Neolithic of central Europe, where monumental longhouses form an almost iconic style of building. In both areas, the house was a key element of the new lifestyle, but the ways in which it gained its social and cosmological relevance appeared to differ quite starkly. Our initial question therefore was about the transformation of one type of building and dwelling into another. How were ideas and practices associated with architecture transmitted at each step as the Neolithic spread north and west?
