In sum, more than 70 academics, students and amateur archaeologists from 8 different countries attended this conference. The international programme consisted of 24 talks and 10 poster presentations which were held in English and German. The presentations ranged from international to regional themes concerning the Final Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Early Neolithic.

accumulation of archaeogenetic data, leading to relatively simple ‘either/or’-scenarios. From the perspective of diversity in
social interaction between ‘receiving’ and ‘incoming’ (groups of) individuals, we explore three different situations in which
migration played a role in the uptake of the Neolithic in order to tease out the social processes and complexities hidden under
the blanket term ‘migration’. In the case of the Linearbandkeramik (LBK), potentials for forager-farmer interaction differed
strongly between earlier and later phases and across regions, a pattern connected to changing landscape use and mobility
regimes within the LBK, as well as the changing utilisation of material culture in identity creation. In the Low Countries, it is
much harder to draw a definite line between foragers and farmers based on mobility or environmental impact, and foragers
had been used to dealing with population movements. There is thus far less difference between the actors, and a concomitantly
greater involvement of both in shaping the Neolithic. In contrast, in southern Scandinavia and northern Germany there
is the perennial question of whether the ‘complex’ Ertebølle hunter-gatherers eventually fell for the lures of Neolithic luxury
goods, or should be credited in resisting long enough to drive a Neolithisation on their own terms. However, societies here are
more internally diverse than is generally appreciated, pointing to different interaction mechanisms inland and on the coast.
Overall, several interaction scenarios succeed each other in time and/or space, in each of our regions. This paper hence also
calls for maintaining an archaeological style of enquiry that allows for indeterminacy and open-endedness in the study of
human interactions.
