Little evidence of violence in human bones and art, equality in burials, and other inferences. \r\n"In her view, the settlement patterns, burial evidence, and iconographic imagery of the cultures she called \'Old Europe\' reflect peaceful, matrilineal, endogamous social structures that were economically egalitarian in which women were honored at the center of ceremonial life. Between the seventh and fifth millennia BC, communities throughout southeast Europe developed mixed horticultural economies, villages with well-built houses, an abundance of sculptural and ceramic art, craft specialization including weaving and metallurgy, and elaborate ritual traditions," writes Joan Marler in "The Iconography and Social Structure of Old Europe."'}

Highly successful system.\r\n"Before New Labour came to power and when even the prospect of reform of Britain\'s House of Lords was regarded with scepticism, Anthony Barnett and Peter Carty developed the idea of selecting part of a new upper house by lot: creating a jury or juries, that are representative of the population as a whole while being selected at random, to assess legislation."'}
