The Mesolithic-Neolithic transition is traditionally defined by a change in subsistence strategy. New ideas are picked up, and animal husbandry and cereal cultivation are adopted as hunter-gatherers evolve. This article examines whether these economic changes stand on their own or lead to changes in other aspects of life. The study will illustrate the innovations in the flint and stone industry (including ornaments) during the Swifterbant period (5000–3400 BC). These include changing debitage techniques and preferences, and the abandonment of the micro-burin technique, but also the introduction of grinding stones, polished axes and amber ornaments. The significance of these new features will be investigated as characteristics of the changing identity of the Swifterbant Culture. ; Mezolitsko-neolitska tranzicija je običajno definirana s pomočjo spremenjenih subsistenčnih strategij. Predstavljeni so novi razmisleki o razvoju živinorejskega gospodarstva in kultiviranju žitaric pri lovcih in nabiralcih. V članku ugotavljamo, ali so spremembe v pleogospodarskih strategijah povzročile spremembe tudi v drugih segmentih življenja. Predstavljamo spremembe in inovacije v produkciji (in ornamentiki) kamenih izdelkov v obdobju Swifterbant (5000–3400 BC). Te so vezane na spremembe v odbitkovnih tehnikah in opustitvi mikrovbadalne tehnike ter vpeljavi žrmelj, glajenih sekir in okrasa iz jantarja. Pomen novih predmetov vidimo v spreminjanju identitete kulture Swifterbant.
