“…The sporadic dispersal of humans on the Mediterranean islands is generally thought to have occurred by the end of the Last Glacial Period (Cherry, 1981), while a colonisation by boat and the continued presence of AMH have been generally considered to be a Holocene phenomenon, starting at about 7-8 ka cal BP (Cherry 1981;Cherry and Leppard, 2015;Dawson, 2011Dawson, , 2013.…”

The continental shelf morphology offshore of western Sicily suggests that during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 20 ka cal BP), two of the Egadi Islands, Favignana and Levanzo, were connected to Sicily by a wide emerged plain, while Marettimo was only separated from the other islands by a narrow channel. We studied the relative sea-level variation from the LGM until today, focussing on two important time slices: the Mesolithic (9.5-13 ka cal BP) and the Neolithic (6.5-7.5 ka cal BP).In this research, we discuss a sea-level rise model by means of geomorphological, archaeological and geophysical observations and new radiocarbon dating of marine and terrestrial fossil fauna. The results enabled us to provide a detailed palaeogeographical reconstruction of the focal area from the LGM until they became isolated. The evidence that has emerged from this research, in particular the radiometric data, supports the hypothesis that seafaring in the western Mediterranean area may have started between the early Mesolithic and late Epigravettian (between 8.4 and 13.5 ka cal BP), although it probably became a well-established practice only during the Neolithic.

“…In general, maximising the qualitative and quantitative richness of data, driven by question-led fieldwork and complementary palaeoenvironmental studies (alongside the appropriate use of analogical argumentation, e.g. Cherry & Leppard 2015; Howitt-Marshall & Runnels 2016), represents the best chance for advancing our understanding of hominin dispersal across biogeographic barriers.…”

To what extent is there spatial and temporal patterning in the spread of our genus around the planet, and what environmental and behavioural factors specify this patterning? The prevailing model of Pleistocene dispersals of Homo holds that this process was essentially terrestrial, with oceans and seas inhibiting and directing the movement of hominins out of Africa (e.g. Mellars 2006; Dennell & Petraglia 2012; Gamble 2013), although some scholars propose short-range maritime hops at both the Strait of Gibraltar and Bab-el-Mandeb (Lambeck et al.2011; Rolland 2013). The relatively recent discovery of stone tools with apparently Lower and Middle Palaeolithic characteristics on islands in the eastern Mediterranean and in Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) has, however, been used by some scholars to challenge this terrestrial model.

“…As mentioned before, the migration issue is not new at all, since humans have always communicated about migration in whichever ways were available to them, far more 10, 000 years back case of petroglyphs in Azerbaijan (Cherry, & Leppard, 2015). In other words, we are witnessing numerous stories throughout the history about the fleeing persecution, travelling to improve one's economic situation, talking about homelands, foreigners and exile (Anderson, 2013).…”

The aim of the current study is to explore the four models of public spheres in modern democracies and the conceptual development of mediated public spheres with an emphasis on the migration issues in general and special focus on the three important Global Migration Film Festival. This study provides an overview for the literature review on the migration media coverage around the world in order to map the negativity in migrant perceptions by using already existed studies on the global migration phenomena. The present data suggests that mediated public spheres in general, and more precisely cinema have a positive impact on helping communities to have an ability to perceive migration issues positively. In findings it is indicated that The Global Migration Film Festival with the help of the differentiated films and screening in different countries and places demonstrated not only higher awareness on the behind scenarios on migration, but also higher empathy in the perceptions on global migration.
