A synthetic history of human land use Humans began to leave lasting impacts on Earth's surface starting 10,000 8000 years ago. Through a collaboration with archaeologists around the globe, Stephens et al. compiled comprehensive picture trajectory worldwide during Holocene (see Perspective by Roberts). Hunter-gatherers, farmers, and pastoralists transformed face Earth earlier greater extent than has been widely appreciated, transformation that was essentially global 3000 before present....
The commonly held belief that the emergence and establishment of farming communities in Levant was a smooth socio-economic continuum during Pre-Pottery Neolithic (ca. 12,000-9,000 cal BP) with only rare minor disruptions is challenged by recently obtained evidence from this region. Using database archaeological radiocarbon dates diagnostic material culture records series key sites northern we show hitherto apparent long-term continuity interpreted as origins consolidation agricultural...
Abstract
En este artículo se presentan los resultados de las recientes investigaciones en el sector Ferreres Minas Gavà, cuyos objetivos eran la localización nuevas estructuras mineras y delimitación del complejo minero Neolítico por vertiente noroeste municipio. Los trabajos realizados han tenido como resultado identificación 24 mineras. materiales arqueológicos recuperados durante minas, así dataciones radiocarbónicas realizadas confirmado cronología neolítica estructuras. ponen relieve importancia...
The use of resinous substances, certainly one the earliest technologies developed by humans, was well-known Holocene hunter-gatherers at onset Neolithisation process across Europe. Recent research has revealed birch bark tar in central Mediterranean far from this taxon's endemic regions both Paleolithic and Neolithic periods shows that first farmers Fertile Crescent hafted lithic tools waterproofed artefacts using bitumen. generalised absence these natural products south-western Europe may...
This article discusses contact, social relationships, and organization between sites at the end of Pre-Pottery Neolithic in Euphrates valley; all which are high importance for reconstructing modelling consolidated agricultural villages. Our analysis has succeeded identifying a complex range overlapping levels types interaction that occurred simultaneously operated different scales including household, community inter-regional communities. mixture interacting spheres, together with...
Résumé: Les pointes de projectiles et les éléments faucille représentent deux des principales catégories d’outillage retouché du milieu 8e millénaire à Tell Halula, illustrant l’importance que activités liées l’agriculture la chasse avaient pour cette communauté néolithique. Cependant, résultats d’analyses tracéologiques récentes remettent en cause fonction certains ces outils, lesquels une nouvelle analyse est nécessaire. En outre, l’étude détaillée outils associée aux nouvelles données sur...
This article focuses on the reconstruction of a particular opposed-platform knapping sequence from Late/Final PPNB (7th–8th millennia CAL B.C.) flint workshop, at site Mamarrul Nasr 2 in Douara Basin (central Syria), which is variation usual reduction strategy associated with bi-directional blade method. characterized by very specific and strict sequence. The working surface narrow, direction debitage slightly off-set, allowing highest ratio productivity standardized targeted central blades....
Cet article présente un état des lieux actualisé origines, de la diffusion et variabilité technologie laminaire bipolaire durant le Néolithique précéramique B dans l’aile occidentale du Croissant fertile. Les recherches confirment que son apparition aux alentours 8900-8800 cal. BCE moyenne vallée l’Euphrate marque changement décisif les traditions lithiques locales projectiles. Sa large contextes socio-économiques variés, utilisant matières premières différentes, sa régionale spatiale...
Thirty-six bituminous samples from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of Nahal Efe (8000–7700 cal. BCE, Negev, Israel) were analysed to determine their origins. Most are mixtures bitumen with minerals, predominantly quartz, calcite, dolomite and aragonite. The aragonite is marine shells, which crushed be incorporated into mixtures. Dead Sea was identified in all samples. geochemical data compared Tell Yarmuth (2800–1100 BCE), Tall Dhiban (700–800 Tel Gezer (1250–700 BCE) floating asphalt blocks...
Barremian-Bedoulian flint from the Vaucluse region (western Provence, SE France), is traditionally considered one of most significant chrono-cultural markers Chasséen culture during Middle Neolithic (end 5th and beginning 4th millennium BC). Diffusion Provençal flints became massive first half BC, penetrating in several neighbouring cultural spheres such as Sepulcros de Fosa north-eastern Iberia. The integrated study lithic assemblages variscite mines Gavà (Barcelona) its contextualization...
During the Early Neolithic in Near East, particularly from mid ninth millennium cal BC onwards, human iconography became more widespread. Explanations for this development, however, remain elusive. This article presents a unique assemblage of flint artefacts Middle Pre-Pottery B (eighth BC) site Kharaysin Jordan. Contextual, morphological, statistical and use-wear analyses these suggest that they are not tools but rather figurines. Their close association with burial contexts suggests were...
ABSTRACT Caserna de Sant Pau del Camp is one of the earliest Neolithic settlements in Northeast Iberia and represents occupation coastal areas by first farming communities region. It located city center Barcelona displays a continuous Early occupational sequence from Cardial to Postcardial during nearly thousand years. also includes what currently necropolis known northeastern Iberia, dated late fifth millennium cal BC (Postcardial). This article presents detailed study chipped stone...
Cet article livre une mise à jour et chronologie des derniers stades de l’évolution du débitage laminaire bidirectionnel dans trois régions Levant, connaissant écosystèmes différents : la moyenne vallée l’Euphrate au Levant Nord, le désert syrien (bassins d’El Kowm Douara), Galilée Sud. Malgré similitudes nature même processus évolutif, cette approche comparative met en avant disparités travers Levant. Il y a différences majeures termes changements techniques observés suivant les contextes...
L’article expose la découverte, prospection et le sondage d’une concentration de petits sites (campsites) précéramiques placés dans une situation stratégique autour d’un passage entre bassin Douara steppe aride du Nord Syrie. Les résultats apportent meilleure connaissance période néolithique cette région, ainsi que nouvelles perspectives sur l’hétérogénéité des processus néolithisation. Ils contribuent également à affiner image plus complète variabilité les technologies outillages...
Abstract. Nahal Efe is the largest and best preserved Middle PPNB site in Negev (Israel), constituting a privileged data source for reconstructing animal exploitation subsistence strategies of hunter-gatherer communities that inhabited 10,000 years ago. The preliminary results study faunal assemblage from excavation seasons 2015–2019 are presented this paper. zooarchaeological indicates during community hunter-gatherers at exploited wide spectrum species, favoured by great potential terms...
