This paper deals with evidence for the Early and Middle Neolithic Funnel Beaker

Culture (TRB; c. 4000–2800 cal BC) on the island of Öland in the Baltic Sea. Previous

research on the subject has mainly dealt with a few megalithic tombs, and a

review is presented. Two recently excavated TRB settlement sites on the island are

then presented in some detail, and the role of agriculture in the context of the Early

and Middle Neolithic TRB culture on Öland is discussed.
