SFB 806 B4: Climatic Evolution of the Marmara Region during the past 50,000 years
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 806
Contract period: 01.01.2009
- 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research
The Marmara region (Western Turkey) is expected to have been one of the principal key areas in the transcontinental dispersal of modern humans from the Near East to the Balkans. Two prominent time-slices are of particular interest in this area, firstly concerning the primary dispersal of modern humans and the emergence of upper Palaeolithic adaptation (50,000-30,000 a BP) and secondly dealing with the reestablishment of human habitats after the second glacial maximum and the dispersal of Neolithic economy (15,000-7,000 a BP).
