SFB 806 B3: Environmental Response on Climate Impact in the Levant during the Last Glacial and Holocene and their Role in the Origin of Agriculture
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 806
Contract period: 01.01.2009
- 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research
The present proposal, focused on the Levant region, deals with the climatic and environmental framework of the re-establishment and dispersal of human settlement after the second maximum of the last glacial, which directly or indirectly lead to the introduction of a productive economy ('Neolithisation') in the Balkans and Europe. Long-term climatic trends and short-term events are compiled and evaluated as possible triggers of population dynamics. Special transfer functions are involved as principal methodological feature in order to link environmental and climatic data.
