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.

Recently We have presented our project around the La Marmotta Neolithic site at:

- Conference at the "Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (EEHAR-CSIC)" with the title "El asentamiento neolítico de La Marmotta: un proyecto apasionante para un yacimiento excepcional".

You can see the conference at:

- Mario Mineo has presented La Marmotta site in the Museo delle Civiltà in the program "Oggetto del mese":

Thanks for their collaboration to the Museo delle Civiltà and Spanish National Research Council (represented by the Istitución Milá y Fontanals, Barcelona (IMF-CSIC) and Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (EEHAR-CSIC).
