“…By 9000 BP, domesticates were already distributed in a large part of the Near and Middle East and Anatolia (Guilaine, Briois, Vigne, & Carrere, 2000;Vigne & Buitenhuis, 1999), expanding to Western Anatolia after 9000 BP, and to Greece and the Balkan region after 8400 BP (Guilaine, 2003;de Keroualin, 2003;Perlès, 2001). From here, the diffusion of domesticates took two different routes, a costal route through the Aegean, Adriatic and Tyrennian sea, and a continental route along the Danube through the Balkans and into Central Europe (Tresset & Vigne, 2007).…”

“…According to palaeontological and archaeozoological evidence, translocation of Persian fallow deer, Dama dama mesopotamica (Brooke, 1875), from the Levant to the island of Cyprus is evident during the local Preceramic Neolithic (approximately 9-10 kya; Guilaine et al, 1996Guilaine et al, , 2000Masseti, 1998). Instead, human-mediated movement of D. d. dama only occurred in later Neolithic periods in continental and insular Greece (7-8 kya; Masseti, 1996Masseti, , 1998Masseti, , 1999Yannouli & Trantalidou, 1999;Trantalidou, 2000Trantalidou, , 2002.…”

The European fallow deer (Dama dama dama) is one of the most widespread cervids, and its distribution has been heavily affected by man. At present, only one wild autochthonous population is reputed to survive in Anatolia, but its census size is dramatically decreasing. This means that a significant portion of the ancestral genetic diversity of this taxon is seriously threatened. In the present study, a portion of the mitochondrial DNA (D-loop) in 37 D. d. dama specimens from three Mediterranean sites, Turkey, the island of Rhodes (Greece), and the Italian Peninsula, and seven individuals of the Persian fallow deer, Dama dama mesopotamica, was sequenced, and the results from the data analysis are interpreted in light of current archaeozoological and biogeographical knowledge. We conclude that: (1) D. d. mesopotamica is strongly differentiated from D. d. dama, confirming the results of previous genetic studies and (2) the Rhodian populations of D. d. dama, founded by humans in Neolithic times, possess a set of mitochondrial lineages, found in no other study populations. The persistence of these haplotypes is particularly significant because human-mediated processes (e.g. domestication) usually result in genetic depletion and erosion of an ancestral genetic pool. In the case of the Rhodes' population of fallow deer, we hypothesize that, during the foundation of this population, humans unknowingly preserved a remarkable portion of the original genetic diversity of the source population(s).

“…Human occupation of Cyprus is characterised by intense settlement development between the early Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods (Guilaine et al 1999;Butzer and Harris 2007;Guilaine 2011). The first main period of settlement corresponds with the Khirokitia culture (see Fig.…”

This study aims to reconstruct the Holocene fluvial history of the Tremithos river, south central Cyprus and examine linkages to regional and local archaeological records. Three stratigraphic profiles (Sp1, Sp2 and Sp3) located in the lower valley have been investigated using sedimentology and magnetic parameters. The 14 C dating of 10 samples reveals mid-Holocene ages for Sp1 and Sp2, while the upper most part of Sp3 can be attributed to the early to mid-Holocene. Two main phases of vertical accretion have been recognised: the first, recorded in the lower most part of Sp3, could not be dated but might relate to the late Glacial period. It is not associated with any archaeological artefacts. The second, recorded in all profiles, dating from ca. 5000 to ca. cal 2800 BC, spans the Late Neolithic Sotira (cal 4800/4000 BC) and Late Chalcolithic (cal 2900-2500 BC) cultures. The sediments of Sp1 and Sp2 are up to 8-10 m thick and mainly composed of fine material. However, an intercalated phase of coarse sediment has been identified at the beginning of the third millennium BC, indicating a sudden change in river dynamics, potentially associated with the 5.2 ka rapid climate change regional event. Typical mid-Chalcolithic (ca. cal 3300-3050 BC) ceramics found in a palaeosol in Sp2 indicate for the first time human occupation of the Tremithos river terraces. Two other palaeosols have also been recognised in Sp3 and radiocarbon dated to ca. cal 5600-4100 BC and ca. cal 2900-2600 BC, respectively. These results make it possible to propose a palaeogeographic reconstruction of the Holocene evolution in the Tremithos valley and to make a preliminary assessment of the relative roles of tectonics, climate and anthropogenic forcing.
