This video explains how farming communities migrated north into central Europe such as the area that is now Hungary at around 6,000 BC, bringing their architecture and other practices with them.

Following are points from the video:

— The people often grew crops along rivers, and they herded sheep, cattle, and goats.

— They didn’t have metal technology, and they needed to work hard to maintain their lifestyles.  They introduced pottery to Europe, which was an important technological advance, but the pottery wheel was not yet invented at that time.

— They often created “Venus of Willendorf”-type figurines.  An excellently preserved settlement on the Danube River exist in present-day Serbia called Lepenski Vir, where it shows that new farming communities traded and meshed with older hunter-gathering groups at that time.

— It is possible that they engaged in warfare in those regions at the time, but their weapons may have been used for other purposes instead.

— They sometimes buried their dead but often did not.  When they did do so it was usually under floors in a curled up position with very few grave offerings.
