“…After a remarkably long period of spatial stability, largely connected to the "Pre-Pottery Neolithic" (PPN) period, the first larger expansion from central Anatolia westward into western Anatolia and southeastern Europe began around 6600 BC ( Fig. 1), mostly connected to the "Pottery Neolithic" period (Brami 2017;Brami and Zanotti 2015;Çilingiroğlu 2012Furholt 2017a;Horejs 2016;Horejs et al 2015;Weninger et al 2014). These Early Neolithic western Anatolian communities are represented in the archaeogenetic dataset by samples from the sites of Menteşe Höyük and Barcın Höyük, south of the Marmara Sea (Mathieson et al 2015).…”

This paper discusses and synthesizes the consequences of the archaeogenetic revolution to our understanding of mobility and social change during the Neolithic period in Europe (6500–2000 BC). In spite of major obstacles to a productive integration of archaeological and anthropological knowledge with ancient DNA data, larger changes in the European gene pool are detected and taken as indications for large-scale migrations during two major periods: the Early Neolithic expansion into Europe (6500–4000 BC) and the third millennium BC “steppe migration.” Rather than massive migration events, I argue that both major genetic turnovers are better understood in terms of small-scale mobility and human movement in systems of population circulation, social fission and fusion of communities, and translocal interaction, which together add up to a large-scale signal. At the same time, I argue that both upticks in mobility are initiated by the two most consequential social transformations that took place in Eurasia, namely the emergence of farming, animal husbandry, and sedentary village life during the Neolithic revolution and the emergence of systems of centralized political organization during the process of urbanization and early state formation in southwest Asia.

“…These plant species were the main crops found among the Early Neolithic communities of southeast Europe. This investigation indicates the great value of starch grain identification in the Mesolithic human population and their interaction with the Neolithic people from the southernmost Balkans several centuries before the Neolithic package of domesticated plants and (probably) Neolithic people reached the inland areas of the Balkans around 6200-6000 BC cal (Kreuz et al, 2005;Brami, 2017).…”

During the Aceramic Neolithic (PPN) period of the Near East, many economic and societal changes took place. During the PPNA is when we recognize a process of agglomeration of hundreds people in big sites such as Jericho. The archaeological record proves more than likely contacts between the contemporary societies of the Levant and some Eastern and Central Anatolian sites. The extent of those far contacts is hard to estimate, but we assume that such contacts and the trade network, which we can study mainly through the obsidian trade, using terrestrial and maritime routes, with the interaction of big villages though a few intermediary steps, already full operating at that time, must have helped to transform the local hierarchies, economic interdependences and rituals, and for instance it could accelerated the end of Göbekli Tepe around mid PPNB. And therefore during the Late PPNB consolidated the central villages, key nodes in the trade networks, and these, in different ecological regions, reached between 10 and 15 ha, v. gr. in Basta, Beisamoun or 'Ain Ghazal. And in such a way, those built interdependent Ancient "World" Systems.
