The rise of agriculture in Western and Central Europe was very big. It caused them to change their culture in different ways. Early farmers make pottery with linear ornaments on them. They are greatly varied between regions. In northwestern Europe there are groups that create monumental burial places. With the new ox-drawn plow, the farmers clear forests to make room for larger fields and places to bury their honored cows. Some potters in Atlantic Europe and Great Britain and Ireland make vessels that are buried in tombs that belong to warriors that have a greater mobility than their ancestors. Another example, is the Unitice culture. In their cemeteries, there are no mounds, but flat burial places. The people are usually buried according to their gender and the respect they have.
