SFB 806 A3: Ethiopian lakes – Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction in the source region of modern man (Project)
The climatic and environmental context in the source region of the emergence of Modern Man is still poorly known. This project is, in strong cooperation with Henry Lamb (University of Aberystwyth), dedicated to the analysis of limnic sediments in Central and Southern Ethiopia in terms of elucidating the climate history of the last 200,000 years, in order to investigate the conditions which led to...

SFB 806 B1: The 'Eastern Trajectory': Last Glacial Palaeogeography and Archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean and of the Balkan Peninsula (Project)
Project B1 investigates a possible 'Eastern Trajectory' of modern human migrations into Europe. This route bridges the region with the earliest fossils of Homo sapiens sapiens so far known in the Near East over Anatolia, the Balkans and the Northwestern Pontic Sea. The main focus lies on the elucidation of both the archaeology and the environmental/ecological conditions of last glacial population...

SFB 806 B2: Climatic and Environmental History of the Balkans During the Last Glacial Cycle (Project)
After leaving the Near East, some groups of Homo sapiens sapiens first arrived about (uncalibrated) 30-32 ka BP ago in the Balkans, as it is proven by human remains found in Romania. However, until now, due to the limitations of the anthropological data, only a patchy reconstruction of the routes into Europe was possible. The environmental context which enabled the first groups of Homo sapiens...

SFB 806 B3: Environmental Response on Climate Impact in the Levant during the Last Glacial and Holocene and their Role in the Origin of Agriculture (Project)
The present proposal, focused on the Levant region, deals with the climatic and environmental framework of the re-establishment and dispersal of human settlement after the second maximum of the last glacial, which directly or indirectly lead to the introduction of a productive economy ('Neolithisation') in the Balkans and Europe. Long-term climatic trends and short-term events are compiled and...

SFB 806 B4: Climatic Evolution of the Marmara Region during the past 50,000 years (Project)
The Marmara region (Western Turkey) is expected to have been one of the principal key areas in the transcontinental dispersal of modern humans from the Near East to the Balkans. Two prominent time-slices are of particular interest in this area, firstly concerning the primary dispersal of modern humans and the emergence of upper Palaeolithic adaptation (50,000-30,000 a BP) and secondly dealing...

SFB 806 C1: Continuity or Discontinuity? Patterns of Land Use and Climatic Changes in the Late Pleistocene of the Iberian Peninsula (Project)
The present state of research argues for the earliest immigration of Iberia by modern humans not from Africa via the Strait of Gibraltar, but from central Europe. Thus, Iberia appears as a late refugium for Neanderthals. The project will test cultural patterning of late Neanderthals and modern humans in their environmental setting based on new stratigraphical data. Background for the study is the...

SFB 806 C2: Early Holocene Contacts between Africa and Europe and their Palaeoenvironmental Context (Project)
The project focuses on human contacts between Africa and Europe in the Western Mediterranean. Even though both continents are only separated by a few kilometres, current research suggests phases of continuity as well as discontinuity regarding intercontinental contacts. A period of intensive communication and mobility is the early Holocene. The project deals with the...

SFB 806 D3: Human Impact and Colluvial Sediment Storages in Europe since the Neolithic (Project)
Human migration from Africa to Europe, particularly during the Holocene, is associated with human impacts on the Earth’s environment. To understand cultureenvironment interactions in terms of human mobility necessitates understanding the human impact on geomorphic hillslope systems. The main objective of this project is the link between human impact, soil erosion and colluvial deposition at...

SFB 806 D2: The Rise of the Cultural Landscape in Central Europe: Mobility and Human-Environment Interaction since the Neolithic (Project)
With the introduction of a productive economy, mobility and even migrations did not become less important as compared to hunter-gatherer societies. In the matrix of possible migration influencing factors, cultural as well as environmental variables have to be considered. The project comprises two fields of research, one of which focuses on the diachronic comparison and description of the...

SFB 806 D1: Analysis of Migration Processes due to Environmental Conditions between 40,000 and 14,000 a BP in the Rhine-Meuse Area (Project)
The investigation of the Rhineland as the geographic sink of migration movements by modern Homo sapiens will provide new insights on the relationship between environmental change and human behaviour. As part of the investigation, the existing data will be gathered and extended by new data form archaeological and geomorphological fieldwork. Relative and absolute dating methods will allow building...
