ABSTRACT Sixty-two 14 C dates are analyzed in combination with a recently established local floating tree-ring sequence for the Early Neolithic site of La Draga (Banyoles, northeast Iberian Peninsula). Archaeological data, radiometric and dendrochronological dates, as well sedimentary micro-stratigraphical information used to build Bayesian chronological model, using ChronoModel 2.0 OxCal 4.4 computer programs, IntCal 2020 calibration curve. The is analyzed, partially fixed calendrical scale...

The goal of this paper is to discuss the validity radiocarbon dates as a source knowledge for explaining social dynamics over large region and long period time. We have carefully selected c. 1000 14C time interval 8000–4000 cal BC within northwestern Mediterranean area (NE Iberian Peninsula, SE France, N Italy) Switzerland. Using statistical analysis, we modelled summed probability distribution those each analysed ecoregion discussed rhythms neolithisation in these regions contact between...

The excellent preservation of the waterlogged botanical remains multiphase Neolithic pile-dwelling site Zug-Riedmatt (Central Switzerland) yielded an ideal dataset to delve into issue plant economy a community spanning several decades. study identified major change in crops where oil plants played key role site’s initial phase before being supplanted over course few decades by naked wheat, barley and pea. Wild continued be gathered albeit different proportions. In latest settlement phase,...

Neolithic pile dwelling sites are known particularly well North of the Alps, with a boom starting from ca. 4300 cal BC. These famous for excellent preservation conditions organic material (wooden tools, textiles, fruit remains and foodstuffs have been preserved in many them), but their origin is still unclear. In Europe, only three reliably-dated settlements this type documented Early Neolithic: La Marmotta 5700–5300 BC (Lake Bracciano, Italy), Dispilio 5400–3500 Orestias, Greece) Draga...

It has recently been observed, that a change in the crop spectrum happened during so-called Middle Neolithic France at ca. 4000 BC. An agricultural system based on free-threshing cereals (naked wheat and naked barley) seems to shift one glume wheats. This is major for traditional farmers this paper aims shed light its possible causes. Here we describe results of new investigations key area understanding process: NW Mediterranean arch, where are main cultivars since 5100 New data confirm...

Pests appear to have accompanied humans and their crops since the beginning of farming. Nevertheless, study is only rarely integrated into research on farming in prehistory. An assemblage invertebrates small mammals was recovered from waterlogged layers three wells at Middle Neolithic site (4250–3700 cal B.C.) Les Bagnoles (SE France). The microfaunal remains were retrieved sediment samples by wet sieving (wash-over technique). most common among rodents wood mouse. also consists insect grain...
