The study of the Neolithic transition constitutes a major theme in prehistoric research. The process of economic change, from foraging to farming, involved one of the main transformations in human behavior patterns. This volume focuses on investigating the neolithization process at the periphery of one of the main routes in the expansion of the Neolithic in Europe: the Western Mediterranean region. Recent advances in radiocarbon dating, mathematical and computational models, archaeometric analysis and biomolecular techniques, together with new archaeological discoveries, provide novel insights into this topic.

This volume is organized into five sections:

·         reconstructing times and modeling processes

·         dietary subsistence of early farming communities

The study of the Neolithic transition constitutes a major theme in prehistoric research. The process of economic change, from foraging to farming, involved one of the main transformations in human behavior patterns. This volume focuses on investigating the neolithization process at the periphery of one of the main routes in the expansion of the Neolithic in Europe: the Western Mediterranean region. Recent advances in radiocarbon dating, mathematical and computational models, archaeometric analysis and biomolecular techniques, together with new archaeological discoveries, provide novel insights into this topic. 

This volume is organized into five sections:

·         reconstructing times and modeling processes

·         dietary subsistence of early farming communities

This volume will also provide new empirical data to help readers assess different theoretical frameworks and narratives which underlie the models proposed to explain the expansion of farming from the Middle East into Europe.

Discusses the expanison of farming at the beginning of the Neolithic in the Western and Central Mediterranean Highlights the most recent advances in archaeological and scientific research aimed at better understanding the neolithisation process in the Mediterranean Focuses on the Neolithic transition in the Western and Central Mediterranean regions Brings together different novel methods and techniques applied to research assessing the neolithisation of the Mediterranean
