| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study collaborated with the researchers from three British universities in order to investigate the social development from hunter-gatherer to farming societies, focusing on the use of lithic artefacts in the prehistoric Near East. I have conducted obsidian source analysis using ED-XRF at University of Manchester, conducted techno-tyoilogical studies of lithic artefacts from a Neolithic site in the Zagros region at University of Reading, and successfully revealed the protracted multiple processes in the development of cereal domestication, by putting together archaeobotanical and lithic data.
