SFB 806 C2: Early Holocene Contacts between Africa and Europe and their Palaeoenvironmental Context
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 806
Contract period: 01.01.2009
- 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research
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 Epipalaeolithic-Neolithic-Transition, intercontinental networks and the impact of African developments on the process of Neolithisation in Southwest Europe. Special attention is dedicated to the role of environmental and climate change within this process.
