<< News >> The Origin and Spread of Neolithic Plant Economies in the Near East and Europe
Submitted by coldrum on Saturday, 16 June 2007 Page Views: 1191
Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe origins of agriculture and its spread from southwest Asia to Europe have been the most intensively discussed and debated topics in Old World archaeology for at least the last 40 years.It is all the more remarkable, therefore, that over the years so little attention has been paid in these discussions to the interpretative significance of analyses of the newly exploited resources, and this is particularly the case for the fundamental elements of the plant-based subsistence economy, i.e., the domestic crops.
The aims of the (ongoing) project are to establish precisely the nature of the changes that the food production systems underwent during the first phases of the adoption of agriculture, and to isolate the causal factors that brought about such changes (e.g., whether environmental, cultural, or even random) across different regions of southwest Asia and Europe.
