Variations within the contents and concepts&nbsp;of cultures can represent a great potential, but they are essentially&nbsp;restrictive. The positivist divsion of archaeological cultures is a familiar&nbsp;error of the exponents of "objectivity" of cultural studies —"Neolithic&nbsp;cultures", &nbsp;"Subneolithic cultures". Between the 1970s-1990s researchers&nbsp;could not agree upon the economic, ceramic or other aspects of the identifying&nbsp;features of cultures and sometimes referred to them as "Subneolithic",&nbsp;"Paraneolithic, " or even "Ceramic Mesolithic". All these terms,&nbsp;also including the cultural context, are incomplete, although they do contain&nbsp;information about the prehistoric past, which is real.</p> ER -
