Early Neolithic pottery dispersals and demic diffusion in southeastern Europe

Documenta Praehistorica, 2009
The 14C gradient of pottery dispersal suggests that the sites in the southern Balkans are not significantly older than those in the northern and eastern Balkans.

Neolithic demic diffusion [PDF]

Human Population Genetics and Genomics, 2021
In 1978, Paolo Menozzi, Alberto Piazza, and Luca Cavalli-Sforza paved the ground for a new multidisciplinary approach to the study of human prehistory, interpreting genetic evidence in the light of archaeological information.

Neolithic pots and potters in Europe: the end of ‘demic diffusion’ migratory model

Documenta Praehistorica, 2013
In this paper we discuss the inventions and re-inventions of ceramic technology and pot- tery dispersals in foraging and farming contexts in Eurasia.

Modern and Ancient Genomes Reveal Neolithic Paternal Expansions of Millet and Rice Farmers and Demic Diffusion from China into Mainland Southeast Asia

Advanced Science
The genomic formation and diversity of underrepresented southern Chinese and Southeast Asian populations have long fascinated researchers, particularly regarding Late Paleolithic to Holocene expansions and early paternal interactions.

Neolithic skull shapes and demic diffusion: a bioarchaeological investigation into the nature of the Neolithic transition

Documenta Praehistorica, 2006
There is a growing body of evidence that the spread of farming in Europe was not a single uniform process, but that it involved a complex set of processes such as demic diffusion, folk migration, frontier mobility, and leapfrog colonisation ...

Pressure knapping west of the Rhine during the Mesolithic? New evidence from Kerkhove (Belgium). [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Until now, evidence for the use of pressure knapping in NW Europe during the Mesolithic has remained very scarce. In this paper, we present the technological (and functional) analysis of a new pressure knapped microbladelet assemblage from the Belgian ...

Millets, dogs, pigs and permanent settlement: productivity transitions in Neolithic northern China [PDF]

Evolutionary Human Sciences
The transition to sedentary agricultural societies in northern China fuelled considerable demographic growth from 5000 to 2000 BC. In this article, we draw together archaeobotanical, zooarchaeological and bioarchaeological data and explore the ...

A prehistory of Indian Y chromosomes: evaluating demic diffusion scenarios. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2006
Understanding the genetic origins and demographic history of Indian populations is important both for questions concerning the early settlement of Eurasia and more recent events, including the appearance of Indo-Aryan languages and settled agriculture in the subcontinent.

Y genetic data support the Neolithic demic diffusion model. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2002
There still is no general agreement on the origins of the European gene pool, even though Europe has been more thoroughly investigated than any other continent. In particular, there is continuing controversy about the relative contributions of European Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers and of migrant Near Eastern Neolithic farmers, who brought
