Theme 1 : Chronology

What is the timeframe of early agropastoral settlements?

Objectives : Provide a robust chronology for all agropastoral sites studied using either classic or compound-specific radiocarbon analyses, archaeomagnetic dating, and chronological modelling using Bayesian statistics, which will allow

  • evaluating the contemporaneity, the continuity or time gaps between
    the occupations,
  • identifying the timeframe for the beginning of agropastoralism for the area and
  • providing temporal insight into the introduction of ceramic technology at each settlement.
