“…As in central Europe, some of the putative Neolithic lineages further west are again regionally specific: for example haplogroup J1b, which appears to have leap-frogged from the Near East straight across to the Atlantic façade. This certainly seems consistent with the archaeological view of maritime colonization in the west alongside acculturation of quite dense, sedentary Mesolithic communities (Barnett 2000;Zilhão 2000;.…”

The major pattern in the European gene pool is a southeast-northwest frequency gradient of classic genetic markers such as blood groups, which population geneticists initially attributed to the demographic impact of Neolithic farmers dispersing from the Near East. Molecular genetics has enriched this picture, with analyses of mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome allowing a more detailed exploration of alternative models for the spread of the Neolithic into Europe. This paper considers a range of possible models in the light of the detailed information now emerging from genetic studies.

“…From the expansion point of view, the WC area must be subdivided into a coastal expansion area and a purely inland expansion area. It is generally agreed that coastal expansion proceeded in spurts along the Mediterranean coastlines over relatively long distances thanks to seafaring techniques, disseminating the farming system from enclaves (Arnaud, 1982;Zilhao, 2001;Barnett, 2001;Guilaine and Manen, 2007). In some places (coasts of Provence, in France), the WC is superimposed over a previous coastal colonization, of Italian origin (Impressa ceramics: BAIW, Guilaine and Manen, op.…”

“…Page 4 The presence of pottery in the western Mediterranean implies Mesolithic acquisition, rather than production (Binder 2000;Barnett 2000;Perlès 2001, 108;Whittle 1996). Ceramics may have moved as gift and food containers between incoming colonizing farming groups and indigenous populations during a slow filtering process of acculturation (e.g.…”

and KeywordsThe Mediterranean region represented a significant zone for the transmission of the Neolithic and its farming economy. This essay reviews the different mechanisms and geographic constraints that influenced the movement of farming and cultural trends, and assesses the current interpretative models as well as traditional approaches in the context of recent archaeological discoveries and publication. Neolithic evidence across southern Europe, from the Near East, Aegean, north Africa and to Iberia and France, is described in the different regions and set against the current chronology. Key issues include the parallel development of settled farmers alongside mobile hunter-gatherers and their gradual assimilation into food producing societies, and the longevity of the typical Mediterranean economy.
