| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study conducted a series of excavations in Azerbaijan for investigating the origins of the earliest farmers in the Southern Caucasus. The results of the excavations of one Mesolithic site Damjili Cave (6400-6000 BC), and two important mound sites, Haci Elamxanlu Tepe (5950-5800 BC) and Goyytepe (5650-5450 BC), strongly sugget that the oldest farming socio-economy was introduced to the region about 8000 years ago, through close links with regions farther south in the Middle East. At the same time, the comparative study of the material remains demonstrate that the cultural entity of the oldest farmers did not appear as a package but was established in the process of local cultural evolution that involved a Mesolithic stage.
