Modeling initial Neolithic dispersal. The first agricultural groups in West Mediterranean

Ecological Modelling, 2015
Abstract In previous research, the SE-NW time-trend in the age of the earliest Neolithic sites across Europe has been treated as a signal of a global-scale process that brought farming/herding economies to the continent. Residual variation from this global time-trend is generally treated as ‘noise’.

The transition from the Late Paleolithic to the Initial Neolithic in the Baikal region: Technological aspects of the stone industries

Quaternary International, 2015
Abstract The area east of Lake Baikal in Siberia is one of a small number of regions in Eurasia where pottery was already used in the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene from the 12th millennium cal BC onwards. Here, the adoption of pottery by hunter–gatherer communities marks the end of the Late Paleolithic and the beginning of the Initial Neolithic.

The Neolithic quarries of Mont Viso, Piedmont, Italy: initial radiocarbon dates

European Journal of Archaeology, 2006
Two groups of quarries (Mont Viso and Mont Beigua, Italy) were the source of the Alpine axeheads that circulated throughout western Europe during the Neolithic. The quarries on Mont Viso (Oncino: Porco, Bulè and Milanese), discovered in 2003, have been radiocarbon-dated, and this has revealed that the exploitation of jadeites, omphacitites and ...

The Possible Stimulation of the Mid-Holocene Period’s Initial Hydrological Recession on the Development of Neolithic Cultures along the Margin of the East Asian Summer Monsoon [PDF]

Sustainability, 2019
A better understanding of past East Asian summer monsoonal (EASM) variations, which play a key role in the development of the largely rain-watered agriculture in China, could contribute to better appraising potential impacts on EASM with regard to global climate change.

LE GARDIEN DU TOMBEAU: FURTHER REFLECTIONS ON THE INITIAL NEOLITHIC

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, 1989
Summary. The unique carving of an armed human figure on a capstone in the Déhus passage grave, Guernsey, has been known for some 70 years but has hitherto eluded parallels and explanation. With the stimulus of recent researches in Brittany, it is now possible to suggest that here too is an example oficonoclasm and incorporation associated with the ...

Caprine husbandry and initial pig management east of the Jordan Valley: Animal exploitation at Neolithic Wadi Shu’eib, Jordan

Paleorient, 2016
Husbandry of domesticated caprines emerged as a central component of southern Levantine subsistence systems by the end of the 10th millennium cal. BP and remained so through the mid-9th millennium cal. BP when pigs and cattle were first heavily exploited in the Northern Jordan Valley.

Geoarchaeological research at Barcın Höyük: Implications for the initial Neolithic occupation of northwest Anatolia

Quaternary International, 2015
Landscape archaeological research has been undertaken on the mound of Barcin Hoyuk in northwest Anatolia, Turkey. It is the oldest Neolithic site in the region, making it of particular interest in regard to the spread of farming from the regions of origin (southeast and central Anatolia) to northwest Anatolia. This study shows that the site was founded

From art to context: Holocene roots of an Initial Neolithic Pastoralism (INP) in the Atlas Ouled Naïl, Algeria

Quaternary International, 2016
Abstract The Algerian Highlands and their surroundings attracted Holocene communities by 7000–4000 cal BC. Co-existence of hunter-gatherers and shepherds of an Initial Neolithic Pastoralism phase (INP) is documented by cultural contexts from foothill settlements and rock engravings/paintings sites (game and domestic flocks), in the Ouled Nail and ...

Shell tool technology and new insights into techno-cultural strategies during the Neolithic in Eastern Arabia. An initial case study from Umm al-Quwain (United Arab Emirates)

Archaeological Research in Asia
The production and use of shell tools has been reported from the Neolithic (c. 6500-3300 BCE) to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1600-1300 BCE) - or the Early Iron Age c. 1300-1000 BCE) - along the eastern shores of the Arabian Peninsula. The latter are described as large bivalve shells whose ventral margin has been retouched.

Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating of the pottery from the early Neolithic site of Gasya (Russian Far East): initial results

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2001
Abstract Both the AMS radiocarbon technique and TL dating have been used to study the age of organic-tempered pottery from Gasya, one of the earliest Neolithic sites in the Russian Far East. The results obtained are consistent with the previous set of radiocarbon dates from the site, that were obtained for charcoal, and show that the hypothesis that ...
