The Emergence of the early Farming Villages in the Near East (12000 B.C- 7000 B.C)

Abstract

The adoption of agriculture and settled village life is one of the most important transitions in prehistory, revealing diverse pathways in the emergence of Neolithic communities. In this research, I try to interpret the transition between the Mesolithic and Neolithic, to shed light on the diversity of early farming communities in the Near East and their characteristics, these specific cultures that fall between the Mesolithic and the Pre-Pottery Neolithic eras.
