Feb 8, 2020 at 22:00 comment added user41956 @JAsia Neolithisation (V.G. Childe forgive me but it was not a revolution) is an incredibly fascinating subject. I would like to contribute but can't really. I strongly assume that the authors of the cited book are simply off by ~1500years (they are too late) or they misunderstood something. If it could be further elicited what they refer to we could try a real answer.
May 13, 2019 at 17:53 comment added J Asia @LangLangC - The answers "seem to diverge quite wildly" is exactly why I haven't commented. I will post a follow-up (answer) about this question and I do wonder why so many missed my question (prob because I couldn't explain it is the most significant). Nevertheless, given the interest this question, I ought to do a follow-up as you've suggested.
May 13, 2019 at 15:58 comment added LаngLаngС I'd really like to see either a further edit (you also may have a dangling comment not part of the question) or some more detailed feedback on one of the answers, as they seem to diverge quite wildly in reading, understanding and answering the question.

May 11, 2019 at 17:01 comment added LаngLаngС Perhaps even include a map from LBK and make it explicit that the is a process and the corresponding date range. (That part in your Q seems misleading?)
May 11, 2019 at 16:59 comment added LаngLаngС I'm suspsecting that to get a clearer answer to what you really want to know, you should include more quotes, specifically one where the 5200-4200 referring to the Baltic regions you want emphasised comes in?
May 11, 2019 at 7:05 comment added J Asia I believe I've figured out what Morris was referring to: Located in eastern Europe (Romania, Moldavia, Ukraine), interfacing steppe foragers, the reference is to Cucuteni-Tripolye culture. In particular Tripolye B2 phase culture (4200-4000 BCE) where it expanded eastward toward the Dnieper valley, creating ever larger agricultural towns ("mega-towns")

May 10, 2019 at 16:04 comment added J Asia @MarkC.Wallace - Hmm, I was not been clear on this, will edit the question. What I meant is why is the 4200 BCE stated so categorically? Was there a particular event or thesis that Morris is referring to?
