“…72 Their intended function can be manifold, including their use as pins and studs as suggested by Perlès. Their potential (additional) use as personal ornaments for lip-pins or ear-plugs is not only indicated by the (slightly later) Vinča figurines displaying corresponding body modification but also in the well-known practices from various indigenous peoples as discussed by Sergej Karmanski. 73 Labrets 74 are also known from the Pre-Pottery-Neolithic and Neolithic to Chalcolithic Near East, such as in Chogha Mish (Iran), 75 where depictions, as well as in-situ contexts of these objects in clay or stone, demonstrate their functional interpretation as body-piercings in our view. Anyhow, further analyses of the horned clay objects in the Starčevo horizon appear worthwhile and should include use-wear studies as well as their role in the 'Neolithic package' in the future.…”

This article discusses recent findings from the newly identified archaeological site of Svinjarička Čuka, situated next to the Southern Morava River in southern Serbia. We will present the latest results from the excavation, material studies, bioarchaeological analyses and contextualised radiocarbon data, focusing on the Starčevo Neolithic horizon within the context of the new NEOTECH project. The interdisciplinary approach aims to shed light on the Neolithisation process of the region along one of the main communication routes between the Aegean and the Danube by the Axios-Vardar-Morava river system. The work so far has uncovered remains of Early to Middle Neolithic features dating around 5600 calBC, with analyses of faunal remains, ceramics and lithics contributing new insights into animal exploitation, raw materials and technological practices during this important time of socioeconomic transition.

“…Pioneering investigations on the origins of agriculture were conducted in this region in the 1940s-1970s at sites such as Asiab, Ganj Dareh, Ali Kosh and Jarmo (Braidwood et al, 1983;Hole et al, 1969;Smith, 1990), recently 14 C dated by Zeder (2008: table 3). New excavations at a wide range of Neolithic sites in the Zagros are currently being conducted in both Iran (R Matthews and Fazeli, 2013) and Iraq .…”

Fire-centred studies have recently been highlighted as powerful avenues for investigation of energy flows and relations between humans, materials, environments and other species. The aim in this paper is to evaluate this potential first by reviewing the diverse theories and methods that can be applied to investigate the ecological and social significance of anthropogenic fire, and second by applying these to new and existing data sets in archaeology. This paper examines how fire-centred approaches can inform on one of the most significant step-changes in human lifeways and interrelations with environment and other species -the transition from mobile hunting-gathering to more sedentary agriculture in a key heartland of change, the Zagros region of Iraq and Iran, c. 12,000-8,000 BP. In the review and case studies multiple links are investigated between human fire use and environment, ecology, energy use, technology, the built environment, health, social roles and relations, cultural practices and catastrophic events.

“…Based on evidence from various sites, it was not until around 8,500 years cal. BP that domestic pigs reached the southernmost end of the Levant (Horwitz et al 1999), lowland southwestern Iran (Hole, Flannery, and Neely 1969), or central Anatolia (Martin, Russell, and Carruthers 2002). This new evidence demonstrates that the TZA formed as an independent center of domestication and not as a secondary or receptive one, challenging previously long--held models.…”

Hallan Çemi presents itself as a unique site to study the transitional period before the onset of agriculture in the Near East. The site fails to fit nicely into demographic or environmental models that have widely been accepted for the region. Hallan Çemi thus represents the potential to study innovative human strategies for subsistence, and to provide insight into the processes that led to the eventual adoption of agriculture only a few millennia later.
