Abstract Western Iberia Early Neolithic has been described as an ultimate and very altered form of the Mediterranean Neolithisation process. Despite its Atlantic position, this territory – corresponding mainly to Central/Southern Portugal is, in physical cultural geography, a landscape deeply connected historical process arriving from beyond Strait Gibraltar. The presence cardial pottery led archaeologists ascribe Portuguese impressed Pottery area, according demic diffusion models, small pioneer groups carrying package originated there. Recently, archaeological record for is becoming more complex longer lasting dominance over seas disputed. Previous seafaring coasts with Impressa style could have reached Iberian Peninsula by 5600–5400 cal BC, proving that mid-sixth millennium, different entities were moving regardless their genetic features. main goal study disclose diversity using robust chronological database debating how proxies, like styles ancient DNA (aDNA), reveal it Iberia. While recognising input groups, mapping variability significance decoration techniques, such cardial, false acacia leaf , stripes, aDNA identify continuities/changes populations are here tools understand when, who, new kids came block . To do so, disciplinary boundaries crossed, some transdisciplinary critical aspects also commented.

متن کاملDating WF16: Exploring the Chronology of a Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Settlement in the Southern Levant
A pre-requisite for understanding the transition to the Neolithic in the Levant is the establishment of a robust chronology, most notably for the late Epi-Palaeolithic and Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) periods. In this contribution we undertake a dating analysis of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of WF16, southern Jordan, drawing on a sample of 46 AMS C dates. We utilise Bayesian methods to qua...
متن کاملFarming legumes in the pre-pottery Neolithic: New discoveries from the site of Ahihud (Israel)
New discoveries of legumes in the lower Galilee at the prehistoric site of Ahihud in Israel shed light on early farming systems in the southern Levant. Radiocarbon dating of twelve legumes from pits and floors indicate that the farming of legumes was practiced in southern Levant as early as 10.240-10.200 (1σ) ago.

First, the region’s geographic position means that it is a case of ‘distant Neolithisation’ (between 2000–3500 km) from the presumed epicentre of Neolithisation in south-east Asia, around the Turko-Syrian border.
