A Pan-European model of the Neolithic

Blog Article

We present a mathematical model, based on a compilation of radiocarbon dates, of the transition to the Neolithic, from about 7000 to 4000 BC in Europe.With the arrival of the Neolithic, hunting and food gathering gave way to agriculture and stock breeding in many cga 200 to cga 510 adapter parts of Europe; pottery-making spread into even broader areas.We use a population dynamics model to suggest the presence of two waves of advance, one from the Near East, and another through Eastern Europe.Thus, we provide a quantitative framework in which a unified interpretation of the Western and here Eastern Neolithic can be developed.
