List of important sites of early Neolithic pottery in Sweden

The first farmers (around 4000 BC) had their fields in the deciduous forest humus, which had formed in the mixed forest over the centuries, but later disappeared due to the deterioration in the climate and the penetration of coniferous forests. Grain prints in ceramic shards provide information about the cultivated species. Six-line barley was the most common variety. Wheat types such as einkorn , emmer and dwarf wheat were found. In addition, peas (Pisum sativum) and field beans (Vicia faba) are found, the field bean for the first time in Sweden. Core imprints of wild wine (Vitis sylvestris) occur in Mogetorp and Öster Vrä.
