| Good summary from Neil Faulkner . The Arayan book is interesting from the historical perspective too . Childe was mentioned a couple of times recently in relation to violence and the Neolithic and how it has often been overlooked , and also in a comment from Kenny Brophy in relation to the Orkney nonsense . Atkinson's "howling Barbarians " has often been the source of criticism here and from the " Ancient Britons/people were not as primitive as we thought" headliners . But when it comes to the use of the term Barbarians , Childe takes a bit of beating . "Most known Neolithic societies and most Neolithic barbarians of recent times also created new substances which do not occur ready-made in nature. ", "Barbarian communities on a comparable level live, or lived quite recently, in parts of Africa, round the Pacific, and in the Americas" Walter Benjamin had a more realistic and nuanced view of barbarism .
