Importantly for scholars of the period, the study identifies the changes that mark the Mesolithic-Neolithic Transition in the Yorkshire Dales, finding it to be in progress at the same time as adjoining northern counties, thus proving the region to be no cultural backwater, despite the topography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuestions around how the region became peopled by farmer-settlers with new lifeways are discussed, with cultural influences identified.
