This is the blog of the project "Neo-Innova: The diffusion of Neolithic in the Central-Western Mediterranean: agriculture, technological innovations and radiocarbon dating" (HAR2016-75201-P). This research project focuses on one of the main turning points of human history: the diffusion of Neolithic. Even if it is well established that the Near East was the first focus of the invention of farming, around X-IX milenium BC, the mechanisms and the paths of its spreading in the rest of the Mediterranean are yet to be unfolded. During the last decades, the origin of European Neolithic has been explained as result of a diffusion process through two main axes: a Northern one, crossing central Europe, and a Southern one along the Mediterranean coasts. The current project is aimed to analyse the process of Neolithic diffusion through the Central-Western Mediterranean through analysis of the techniques and tools associated with the crop-harvesting and -processing tools. Analysis of those tools has to be supported by an extensive program of radiocarbon dating and a cross-analysis of the crop-harvesting/14C with the information proceeding from the environmental/ecological, the technological and the cereals consumed.

Workshop: "The Neolithic Settlement of “La Marmotta”: A View on the Neolithic Expansion

On December 10 and 11 we organized the workshop: "The Neolithic Settlement of “La Marmotta”: A View on the Neolithic Expansion"

It was a fantastic meeting to know the first results obtained in La Marmotta neolithic site within the project “Expansión y desarrollo del neolítico en el Mediterráneo central: tecnología y producción de alimentos en el asentamiento lacustre de La Marmotta (Roma, Italia)” Proyectos Intramurales para Arqueología en el Exterior (201818008). Ministerio de Ciencia Innovación y Universidad / CSIC.

It was also incredible to know the new lines of work that will begin in the coming months and the possibilities of requesting projects with the participants.

Thanks to all the participants, the Pigorini Museum (especially his director Filippo Maria Gambari), La Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (EEHAR-CSIC) (especially their Directors José Ramón Urquijo and Antonio Pizzo), La Institución Milá y Fontanals (IMF-CSIC) (especially his director Luis Calvo) and all the people who attended the workshop.
