Abstract:
Documents and quantifies a significant reduction in crop diversity in the Early Central European Neolithic using a large multi-site database of archaeobotantical remains compiled from published Neolithic sites across southwest Asia and Europe. Two hypotheses are proposed to account for the observed changes: one which claims that the different environmental conditions of central Europe selected for a different set of crop choices and strategies than in use in southeast and Mediterranean Europe; and a null hypothesis that explains the change as a drift process associated with a small founding population that subsequently undergoes rapid expansion. Through an agent-based simulation model, the null hypothesis is tested and it is demonstrated that the drop in diversity exceeds that predicted by a drift process. Concludes by re-evaluating the possible adaptive changes underlying crop use in Early Neolithic Europe.
