Revolutions. An Introduction

This volume is the result of the two-day workshop organized in Berlin on the Neolithisation of the Mediterranean Basin. The implementation of new technology, methods, and theories have contributed to refinements in the timing of the changes in economies, analysis of the types of resources exploited, and the reasons behind these transformations. The papers herein seek to link theories and models with evidence from case studies around the Mediterranean Basin and along the Nile valley. The approaches of the authors range from scientific analyses, to theoretical approaches and artefact-based analysis. We hope to contribute to the debate about the various processes involved in the Neolithisation of the regions around the Mediterranean Sea.
