Research Abstract |
The Fertile Crescent in the Middle East is known as a center of origin for domestication of animals and plants. In the last 30 years, the Neolithic Age in the eastern wing of the Fertile Crescent, Zagros, was far less investigated due to unstable political circumstances. This project aimed to study the process of the Neolithization in the Zagros. In particular, the author examined the Neolithization in the Marv Dasht plain, Fars in the southern Zagros. The project revealed that the lithic tradition in this region radically changed around 6000 BC. This change was probably caused by great changes in subsistence; introduction of full scale herding of sheep and goats and introduction of irrigation systems
