Its stylistic features considerably differ from those of Neolithic human figurines in the region, providing a valuable reference point for understanding the cultural processes in symbolic aspects during the Mesolithic-Neolithic interface in the South Caucasus.","owner":{"id":1847960,"first_name":"Yoshihiro","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Nishiaki","page_name":"YoshiNishiaki","domain_name":"u-tokyo","created_at":"2012-05-29T15:52:44.794-07:00","display_name":"Yoshihiro Nishiaki","url":"https://u-tokyo.academia.edu/YoshiNishiaki","email":"c0REYTdKRWRTdVp6WStKSmNnL2JXVDNpcUNZWDAwSHFoSVZQcXhSc3dKbEhtZzhDN1dSVUFVWkZ0aHVLWUVaeS0tWWZ3aW1Mb2xmZ0w5em84ZnprUG9uQT09--504070a37ba074b092f8585c9a058b5569b42eac"},"attachments":[{"id":122003126,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/122003126/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2025_ARA_Damjili_figurine.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122003126/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Nishiaki_Y_U_Safarova_F_Ikeyama_and_Y_Ma.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/122003126/2025_ARA_Damjili_figurine-libre.pdf?1742921145=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNishiaki_Y_U_Safarova_F_Ikeyama_and_Y_Ma.pdf\u0026Expires=1743606552\u0026Signature=RI6RKxVVFNr16cr6ccANF8cyTesXlKZxQ65jGfXWXQDJ7uN55HiyqtkRxQgofTINdhqhpHP6M4Fiv0tcu-lIihWi3WLEa7XWST-IvHDsgf-Y9eze40Ugg9aCQOTwz1uvOgOPnRKCoJ5QXH1lxOvGtzWlmjZ1C39Y-Mzzh-Ib6p607-Vy9lAqNdtMKDbpiGUQJunxqBUZKYZ5iVgNcoEFPqK2Mj47Mhby9vZ0Sq8UwvLGOzU7rYSUhh-O9Ecfik5wu9cCniSaEd0oSfIQIk5ZojKqVtt7~cAj59iPk3XaJxEfytn~bm60DjmyEe-DINLzksCb4dT-HCEjY6HyNUzkmA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (false) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-128417983-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="128417951"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/128417951/Zeynalov_A_Y_Nishiaki_and_Y_Mammadov_2025_Azykh_and_Taglar_Caves_in_the_Karabakh_Baku_Ministry_of_Culture_and_Tourism_Azerbaijan"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Zeynalov, A., Y.

Products from ruminants, particularly dairy products, may have played a significant role in the daily and ritual use of pottery vessels during the study period in Northern Iran.

The excavations at the emblematic Neolithic site of Ali Kosh, Deh Luran, led to the development of the so-called \"marginal zone hypothesis.\" However, some chronological inconsistencies remained until a new stratigraphic excavation was carried out in 2017 to revise the findings. According to the new evaluation, Ali Kosh was occupied from ca. 7500-6500 CAL B.C. During the Boz Mordeh phase (ca. 7500-7350 B.C.), the inhabitants occupied the site seasonally, but they became increasingly sedentary in the succeeding Ali Kosh phase (ca. 7350-7000 B.C.). In addition to obsidian, they also imported beads of stone and sea shell. Moreover, they increasingly relied on herding sheep and fully domesticated goats. The emergence of Neolithic life in the lowlands was a direct consequence of cultural changes in the central Zagros.

The present article addresses regional variability in Pottery Neolithic flaked stone industries within the Eastern Wing.

Given the known lithic variability also in the Eastern Wing of northern Mesopotamia, the present study suggests the need to define the variability of lithic industries in other parts of each wing; such research would help better explain the historical, ecological, and cultural backgrounds of regional differences.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-126630221-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-126630221-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/12191883/figure-1-collection-sampling-by-the-university-of-tokyo-team"><img alt="Fig. 1.

In addition, some evidence of Chalcolithic occupation was also found.","owner":{"id":1847960,"first_name":"Yoshihiro","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Nishiaki","page_name":"YoshiNishiaki","domain_name":"u-tokyo","created_at":"2012-05-29T15:52:44.794-07:00","display_name":"Yoshihiro Nishiaki","url":"https://u-tokyo.academia.edu/YoshiNishiaki","email":"UGg2YVZ5SkZYR0JJK1FuWlRob2hPRDE3ZkhZejJPQ1Bqa3QrMjZtRzhCRExVaHl5bWNodXhWazZVOFh4Y2RKWS0tSVZNd25vYUd3ZVdHeWVnQllSUWlUQT09--f9e63f8d6d69955d85b251aa1f9e49564e63ade4"},"attachments":[{"id":106654654,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106654654/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2023_Shakar_ICAANE.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106654654/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Odaka_T_O_Y_Nishiaki_et_al_2023_Late_pre.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106654654/2023_Shakar_ICAANE-libre.pdf?1697465611=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DOdaka_T_O_Y_Nishiaki_et_al_2023_Late_pre.pdf\u0026Expires=1743606553\u0026Signature=DYj6uzgrIAq2GRkNBkSyCJlLI4a2IUfftb7~TOrH~tc988cgj9ZzuqaXDiOxoE611vro2HsE5w-im~YuxfFDCy4S3XLFCjQXvqynBqup3~~mzy6y8xD9qzcYJNpFu93raOJLeD~BSkMFvSDdRB66OoCUr~kF~Fo~YLrnAKuglRfWuXJJPJbZ4Tgm0YUaZQ~wXI5gJizfKjiXEH2K-wkCj6g-okwaw02pel4wcsephROmtUID3rfLvXfuSnfgjBGhOa-7ylQXQf4zczWcoj0T3g21P~WPoL2DETTp1uY7QSWUtchf0bGDaDQkGF3dnh63D-rTb3mZTOt~QPZs~dlmmw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (true) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-108211914-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="108211575"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/108211575/Nishiaki_Y_2022_Early_Neolithic_chronology_and_lithic_industry_of_Tepe_Abdul_Hosein_Central_Zagros_Iran_Pal%C3%A9orient_48_2_9_27"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Nishiaki,Y.

Unlike this widely recognized notion, Neolithization in the core regions of Central Asia, further to the east, remains to be clarified. Here, we present new data from the Hissar mountain region, close to the eastern end of western Central Asia. The 2015-2019 excavations of the newly discovered rock shelter of Kaynar Kamar, Uzbekistan, yielded a well-dated cultural sequence spanning over ten millennia starting from the beginning of the Holocene for the first time in this part of Central Asia. The archaeological records indicate a significant cultural change in the early 6th millennium BCE, which likely reflects the introduction of the food production economy in tandem with the Neolithization events occurring in the west. This new result supports the hypothesis of a swift dispersal of the Neolithic economy in western Central Asia. Simultaneously, it helps delineate the environmental conditions that hindered further dispersal to the east.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-108210060-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-108210060-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/6326888/figure-1-map-showing-the-research-region-and-related-sites"><img alt="Fig. 1.

The ratio of sheep to goat remains was examined based on the morphological criteria published by archaeozoologists working in Europe and Southwest Asia (e.g., Boessneck et al., 1964; Halstead and Collins, 2002; Zeder and Lapham, 2010). The results show a fluctuating pattern between the periods (Table 4). In Period 5, goats outnumber sheep, whereas the ratio of the two species is almost equal in Period 4. Fig. 11.

As stated earlier, the available specimens from each period are limited in number, and unfortunately, they include no measurable caprine bones from Period 3 when the first phalanges are excluded. However, it should be stressed that the Period 3 assemblage contains clearly small-sized specimens, based on the body parts that were not measured in the present study (Fig. 17). Hence, although sufficient biometric data are unavailable, it is very likely that small-sized sheep and goats were already present in Period 3. Simultaneously, the bones of cattle first appeared in Period 3. Despite the small number of identified specimens, cattle seem to have contributed to the inhabitants’ diet because the weight of the bones attained is approximately one-tenth of the total weight after Period 3 (Table 5).

Unlike this widely recognized notion, Neolithization in the core regions of Central Asia, further to the east, remains to be clarified. Here, we present new data from the Hissar mountain region, close to the eastern end of western Central Asia. The 2015-2019 excavations of the newly discovered rock shelter of Kaynar Kamar, Uzbekistan, yielded a well-dated cultural sequence spanning over ten millennia starting from the beginning of the Holocene for the first time in this part of Central Asia. The archaeological records indicate a significant cultural change in the early 6th millennium BCE, which likely reflects the introduction of the food production economy in tandem with the Neolithization events occurring in the west. This new result supports the hypothesis of a swift dispersal of the Neolithic economy in western Central Asia. Simultaneously, it helps delineate the environmental conditions that hindered further dispersal to the east.","owner":{"id":1847960,"first_name":"Yoshihiro","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Nishiaki","page_name":"YoshiNishiaki","domain_name":"u-tokyo","created_at":"2012-05-29T15:52:44.794-07:00","display_name":"Yoshihiro Nishiaki","url":"https://u-tokyo.academia.edu/YoshiNishiaki","email":"TTNZSEF6TExiZ1JaQTlKOEMzU1BJSmRkTVpHdjhlMTc5amJtUi9LM0drTm02NTJ4Wk1yUmZKdnMyU2tySWZnbC0tYUZtZFFvYTVmWGJucGxNZC9MY3gzUT09--dcf1fcd020c5b8d55870ec58a0ed7a186224765d"},"attachments":[{"id":106653160,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106653160/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2022_Kaynar_Kamar_ARA.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106653160/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Nishiaki_Y_et_al_2022_Neolithization_dur.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106653160/2022_Kaynar_Kamar_ARA-libre.pdf?1697469477=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNishiaki_Y_et_al_2022_Neolithization_dur.pdf\u0026Expires=1743606554\u0026Signature=UhwlvW-ewmC5n80-BfI0sPSxoIDShm0gQEF0-~oBT4SpKrEurEyM81dUVC4vYsatkdLwbcRgyOfg-8cSGFsDOSrGCN4rlZQ9-gQHPfxcfUAViBlbGzpLSNPATmYPsQqcLm0JQLAxigAv5p-Xf4MGk4BohweWio0sGhtPxT0Dv7qhitw7rjGSsMCQCtHLXKVdWfQQmQCWBUh0c-opXFt5aD-pwtulevhUuJDfBR8Qx~niKCU8yzXYH~RqKr62TJL30jNDE3n~CbTlXerxaJz2Rd~1UVhv3drVOB9pwGfeKQX-nOkAr5wXtd7lvtTej9WC5S-2g0GBERzsFPYkT5JK~w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (true) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-108210060-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="81707845"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/81707845/_Nishiaki_Y_Y_Kanjou_and_T_Akazawa_2022_The_Early_Middle_Palaeolithic_lithic_industry_of_Dederiyeh_Cave_Northwest_Syria_L_Anthropologie_https_doi_org_10_1016_j_anthro_2022_103028"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of *Nishiaki, Y., Y.

BCE. To explore a new line of cultural evidence, this paper examines refuse disposal behavior by presenting spatial distributions of chipped and ground stone refuse at Hacı Elamxanlı Tepe, one of the earliest agricultural settlements in the southern Caucasus. The spatial analysis aims to clarify refuse distributions in the excavated area (10 × 10 m) by characterizing the spatial units with three kinds of data, including 1) architectural contexts, 2) associations with conspicuous refuse (e.g. large obsidian cores and clusters of complete ground stones), and 3) densities of lithic refuse by categories related to production technology, tool functions, and preservation states. The results indicate various discard patterns, including de facto refuse, caches/storages, provisional discard, and multiple scales of secondary dumps. We will then discuss how such intra-site variability in refuse management is potentially linked to the residential mobility of the inhabitants at Hacı Elamxanlı Tepe. Lastly, we review residential mobility and refuse discard behaviors in the Late Neolithic in the Upper Mesopotamia as possible exogenous cultural links.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-80567978-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-80567978-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/19361929/figure-1-map-of-the-southern-caucasus-showing-the-location"><img alt="Fig. 1. a) Map of the southern Caucasus, showing the location of Haci Elamxanli Tepe among other Neolithic sites.

Thus, the periodical absence and returns of inhabitants at the same settlement can result in variable refuse distributions, including de facto refuse, tool caches/ storages, and secondary refuse. At Haci Elamxanh Tepe, reoccupations of the same residential building are likely to have taken place within a time scale of one generation or less according our previous study of radiocarbon dates from the site (Nishiaki et al. 2015a). In summarizing the results of the two Bayesian models, the date range of Level 1 is 5838-5813 BCE (20 years). Level 2 is 5879-5856 BCE (23 years) or 5907-5890 BCE (17 years). Level 3 is 5922-5903 BCE (19 years) or 5933-5921 (12 years). Level 4 is 5957-5938BCE (19 years) or 5959-5944 BCE (15 years). These durations of the building levels are comparable to those of Géytepe, a nearby Neolithic site (Nishiaki etal. 2015a, 2018). Repetitive reoccupations of the same residence for one generation must have provided incentives to inhabitants to clean accumulating refuse in their domestic space.

Recent studies have thus determined the timing of the beginning of the Neolithic socio-econ- ymy in the Southern Caucasus. However, research has not sufficiently accounted for regional vari- ibility in the origins and development of this process. The Southern Caucasus does not form a nonolithic natural environment. Rather, it can be divided into many smaller geographic units hat might have developed distinct cultural traditions. The insufficiency of our research in this espect can be seen in the terminology used for the Neolithic culture(s) in the core region of the southern Caucasus (Fig. 1), where the Shomutepe culture (Narimanov 1989), Shulaveri-Shomu culture (Kiguradze 1986) and Aknashen-Shulaveri-Shomu culture (Chataigner et al. 2014) have een proposed employing the different eponymous site(s) in different regions or their combination. several cases depicting the Neolithic regional differences between the Middle Kura Valley and Araxes Valley have been described in recent fieldwork and studies of the material culture, address- ng variability in the type of architectural material (Baudouin 2019), livestock animals (Hirose et ul. 2021), and a chronological gap in pottery use (Nishiaki 2021).

Its stylistic features considerably differ from those of Neolithic human figurines in the region, providing a valuable reference point for understanding the cultural processes in symbolic aspects during the Mesolithic-Neolithic interface in the South Caucasus.","owner":{"id":1847960,"first_name":"Yoshihiro","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Nishiaki","page_name":"YoshiNishiaki","domain_name":"u-tokyo","created_at":"2012-05-29T15:52:44.794-07:00","display_name":"Yoshihiro Nishiaki","url":"https://u-tokyo.academia.edu/YoshiNishiaki","email":"c0REYTdKRWRTdVp6WStKSmNnL2JXVDNpcUNZWDAwSHFoSVZQcXhSc3dKbEhtZzhDN1dSVUFVWkZ0aHVLWUVaeS0tWWZ3aW1Mb2xmZ0w5em84ZnprUG9uQT09--504070a37ba074b092f8585c9a058b5569b42eac"},"attachments":[{"id":122003126,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/122003126/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2025_ARA_Damjili_figurine.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122003126/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Nishiaki_Y_U_Safarova_F_Ikeyama_and_Y_Ma.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/122003126/2025_ARA_Damjili_figurine-libre.pdf?1742921145=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNishiaki_Y_U_Safarova_F_Ikeyama_and_Y_Ma.pdf\u0026Expires=1743606552\u0026Signature=RI6RKxVVFNr16cr6ccANF8cyTesXlKZxQ65jGfXWXQDJ7uN55HiyqtkRxQgofTINdhqhpHP6M4Fiv0tcu-lIihWi3WLEa7XWST-IvHDsgf-Y9eze40Ugg9aCQOTwz1uvOgOPnRKCoJ5QXH1lxOvGtzWlmjZ1C39Y-Mzzh-Ib6p607-Vy9lAqNdtMKDbpiGUQJunxqBUZKYZ5iVgNcoEFPqK2Mj47Mhby9vZ0Sq8UwvLGOzU7rYSUhh-O9Ecfik5wu9cCniSaEd0oSfIQIk5ZojKqVtt7~cAj59iPk3XaJxEfytn~bm60DjmyEe-DINLzksCb4dT-HCEjY6HyNUzkmA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (false) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-128417983-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="128417951"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/128417951/Zeynalov_A_Y_Nishiaki_and_Y_Mammadov_2025_Azykh_and_Taglar_Caves_in_the_Karabakh_Baku_Ministry_of_Culture_and_Tourism_Azerbaijan"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Zeynalov, A., Y.

Products from ruminants, particularly dairy products, may have played a significant role in the daily and ritual use of pottery vessels during the study period in Northern Iran.

The excavations at the emblematic Neolithic site of Ali Kosh, Deh Luran, led to the development of the so-called \"marginal zone hypothesis.\" However, some chronological inconsistencies remained until a new stratigraphic excavation was carried out in 2017 to revise the findings. According to the new evaluation, Ali Kosh was occupied from ca. 7500-6500 CAL B.C. During the Boz Mordeh phase (ca. 7500-7350 B.C.), the inhabitants occupied the site seasonally, but they became increasingly sedentary in the succeeding Ali Kosh phase (ca. 7350-7000 B.C.). In addition to obsidian, they also imported beads of stone and sea shell. Moreover, they increasingly relied on herding sheep and fully domesticated goats. The emergence of Neolithic life in the lowlands was a direct consequence of cultural changes in the central Zagros.

The present article addresses regional variability in Pottery Neolithic flaked stone industries within the Eastern Wing.

Given the known lithic variability also in the Eastern Wing of northern Mesopotamia, the present study suggests the need to define the variability of lithic industries in other parts of each wing; such research would help better explain the historical, ecological, and cultural backgrounds of regional differences.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-126630221-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-126630221-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/12191883/figure-1-collection-sampling-by-the-university-of-tokyo-team"><img alt="Fig. 1.

In addition, some evidence of Chalcolithic occupation was also found.","owner":{"id":1847960,"first_name":"Yoshihiro","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Nishiaki","page_name":"YoshiNishiaki","domain_name":"u-tokyo","created_at":"2012-05-29T15:52:44.794-07:00","display_name":"Yoshihiro Nishiaki","url":"https://u-tokyo.academia.edu/YoshiNishiaki","email":"UGg2YVZ5SkZYR0JJK1FuWlRob2hPRDE3ZkhZejJPQ1Bqa3QrMjZtRzhCRExVaHl5bWNodXhWazZVOFh4Y2RKWS0tSVZNd25vYUd3ZVdHeWVnQllSUWlUQT09--f9e63f8d6d69955d85b251aa1f9e49564e63ade4"},"attachments":[{"id":106654654,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106654654/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2023_Shakar_ICAANE.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106654654/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Odaka_T_O_Y_Nishiaki_et_al_2023_Late_pre.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106654654/2023_Shakar_ICAANE-libre.pdf?1697465611=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DOdaka_T_O_Y_Nishiaki_et_al_2023_Late_pre.pdf\u0026Expires=1743606553\u0026Signature=DYj6uzgrIAq2GRkNBkSyCJlLI4a2IUfftb7~TOrH~tc988cgj9ZzuqaXDiOxoE611vro2HsE5w-im~YuxfFDCy4S3XLFCjQXvqynBqup3~~mzy6y8xD9qzcYJNpFu93raOJLeD~BSkMFvSDdRB66OoCUr~kF~Fo~YLrnAKuglRfWuXJJPJbZ4Tgm0YUaZQ~wXI5gJizfKjiXEH2K-wkCj6g-okwaw02pel4wcsephROmtUID3rfLvXfuSnfgjBGhOa-7ylQXQf4zczWcoj0T3g21P~WPoL2DETTp1uY7QSWUtchf0bGDaDQkGF3dnh63D-rTb3mZTOt~QPZs~dlmmw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (true) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-108211914-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="108211575"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/108211575/Nishiaki_Y_2022_Early_Neolithic_chronology_and_lithic_industry_of_Tepe_Abdul_Hosein_Central_Zagros_Iran_Pal%C3%A9orient_48_2_9_27"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Nishiaki,Y.

Unlike this widely recognized notion, Neolithization in the core regions of Central Asia, further to the east, remains to be clarified. Here, we present new data from the Hissar mountain region, close to the eastern end of western Central Asia. The 2015-2019 excavations of the newly discovered rock shelter of Kaynar Kamar, Uzbekistan, yielded a well-dated cultural sequence spanning over ten millennia starting from the beginning of the Holocene for the first time in this part of Central Asia. The archaeological records indicate a significant cultural change in the early 6th millennium BCE, which likely reflects the introduction of the food production economy in tandem with the Neolithization events occurring in the west. This new result supports the hypothesis of a swift dispersal of the Neolithic economy in western Central Asia. Simultaneously, it helps delineate the environmental conditions that hindered further dispersal to the east.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-108210060-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-108210060-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/6326888/figure-1-map-showing-the-research-region-and-related-sites"><img alt="Fig. 1.

The ratio of sheep to goat remains was examined based on the morphological criteria published by archaeozoologists working in Europe and Southwest Asia (e.g., Boessneck et al., 1964; Halstead and Collins, 2002; Zeder and Lapham, 2010). The results show a fluctuating pattern between the periods (Table 4). In Period 5, goats outnumber sheep, whereas the ratio of the two species is almost equal in Period 4. Fig. 11.

As stated earlier, the available specimens from each period are limited in number, and unfortunately, they include no measurable caprine bones from Period 3 when the first phalanges are excluded. However, it should be stressed that the Period 3 assemblage contains clearly small-sized specimens, based on the body parts that were not measured in the present study (Fig. 17). Hence, although sufficient biometric data are unavailable, it is very likely that small-sized sheep and goats were already present in Period 3. Simultaneously, the bones of cattle first appeared in Period 3. Despite the small number of identified specimens, cattle seem to have contributed to the inhabitants’ diet because the weight of the bones attained is approximately one-tenth of the total weight after Period 3 (Table 5).

Unlike this widely recognized notion, Neolithization in the core regions of Central Asia, further to the east, remains to be clarified. Here, we present new data from the Hissar mountain region, close to the eastern end of western Central Asia. The 2015-2019 excavations of the newly discovered rock shelter of Kaynar Kamar, Uzbekistan, yielded a well-dated cultural sequence spanning over ten millennia starting from the beginning of the Holocene for the first time in this part of Central Asia. The archaeological records indicate a significant cultural change in the early 6th millennium BCE, which likely reflects the introduction of the food production economy in tandem with the Neolithization events occurring in the west. This new result supports the hypothesis of a swift dispersal of the Neolithic economy in western Central Asia. Simultaneously, it helps delineate the environmental conditions that hindered further dispersal to the east.","owner":{"id":1847960,"first_name":"Yoshihiro","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Nishiaki","page_name":"YoshiNishiaki","domain_name":"u-tokyo","created_at":"2012-05-29T15:52:44.794-07:00","display_name":"Yoshihiro Nishiaki","url":"https://u-tokyo.academia.edu/YoshiNishiaki","email":"TTNZSEF6TExiZ1JaQTlKOEMzU1BJSmRkTVpHdjhlMTc5amJtUi9LM0drTm02NTJ4Wk1yUmZKdnMyU2tySWZnbC0tYUZtZFFvYTVmWGJucGxNZC9MY3gzUT09--dcf1fcd020c5b8d55870ec58a0ed7a186224765d"},"attachments":[{"id":106653160,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106653160/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"2022_Kaynar_Kamar_ARA.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106653160/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Nishiaki_Y_et_al_2022_Neolithization_dur.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106653160/2022_Kaynar_Kamar_ARA-libre.pdf?1697469477=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DNishiaki_Y_et_al_2022_Neolithization_dur.pdf\u0026Expires=1743606554\u0026Signature=UhwlvW-ewmC5n80-BfI0sPSxoIDShm0gQEF0-~oBT4SpKrEurEyM81dUVC4vYsatkdLwbcRgyOfg-8cSGFsDOSrGCN4rlZQ9-gQHPfxcfUAViBlbGzpLSNPATmYPsQqcLm0JQLAxigAv5p-Xf4MGk4BohweWio0sGhtPxT0Dv7qhitw7rjGSsMCQCtHLXKVdWfQQmQCWBUh0c-opXFt5aD-pwtulevhUuJDfBR8Qx~niKCU8yzXYH~RqKr62TJL30jNDE3n~CbTlXerxaJz2Rd~1UVhv3drVOB9pwGfeKQX-nOkAr5wXtd7lvtTej9WC5S-2g0GBERzsFPYkT5JK~w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") if (true) { Aedu.setUpFigureCarousel('profile-work-108210060-figures'); } }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="81707845"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/81707845/_Nishiaki_Y_Y_Kanjou_and_T_Akazawa_2022_The_Early_Middle_Palaeolithic_lithic_industry_of_Dederiyeh_Cave_Northwest_Syria_L_Anthropologie_https_doi_org_10_1016_j_anthro_2022_103028"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of *Nishiaki, Y., Y.

BCE. To explore a new line of cultural evidence, this paper examines refuse disposal behavior by presenting spatial distributions of chipped and ground stone refuse at Hacı Elamxanlı Tepe, one of the earliest agricultural settlements in the southern Caucasus. The spatial analysis aims to clarify refuse distributions in the excavated area (10 × 10 m) by characterizing the spatial units with three kinds of data, including 1) architectural contexts, 2) associations with conspicuous refuse (e.g. large obsidian cores and clusters of complete ground stones), and 3) densities of lithic refuse by categories related to production technology, tool functions, and preservation states. The results indicate various discard patterns, including de facto refuse, caches/storages, provisional discard, and multiple scales of secondary dumps. We will then discuss how such intra-site variability in refuse management is potentially linked to the residential mobility of the inhabitants at Hacı Elamxanlı Tepe. Lastly, we review residential mobility and refuse discard behaviors in the Late Neolithic in the Upper Mesopotamia as possible exogenous cultural links.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-80567978-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-80567978-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/19361929/figure-1-map-of-the-southern-caucasus-showing-the-location"><img alt="Fig. 1. a) Map of the southern Caucasus, showing the location of Haci Elamxanli Tepe among other Neolithic sites.

Thus, the periodical absence and returns of inhabitants at the same settlement can result in variable refuse distributions, including de facto refuse, tool caches/ storages, and secondary refuse. At Haci Elamxanh Tepe, reoccupations of the same residential building are likely to have taken place within a time scale of one generation or less according our previous study of radiocarbon dates from the site (Nishiaki et al. 2015a). In summarizing the results of the two Bayesian models, the date range of Level 1 is 5838-5813 BCE (20 years). Level 2 is 5879-5856 BCE (23 years) or 5907-5890 BCE (17 years). Level 3 is 5922-5903 BCE (19 years) or 5933-5921 (12 years). Level 4 is 5957-5938BCE (19 years) or 5959-5944 BCE (15 years). These durations of the building levels are comparable to those of Géytepe, a nearby Neolithic site (Nishiaki etal. 2015a, 2018). Repetitive reoccupations of the same residence for one generation must have provided incentives to inhabitants to clean accumulating refuse in their domestic space.

Recent studies have thus determined the timing of the beginning of the Neolithic socio-econ- ymy in the Southern Caucasus. However, research has not sufficiently accounted for regional vari- ibility in the origins and development of this process. The Southern Caucasus does not form a nonolithic natural environment. Rather, it can be divided into many smaller geographic units hat might have developed distinct cultural traditions. The insufficiency of our research in this espect can be seen in the terminology used for the Neolithic culture(s) in the core region of the southern Caucasus (Fig. 1), where the Shomutepe culture (Narimanov 1989), Shulaveri-Shomu culture (Kiguradze 1986) and Aknashen-Shulaveri-Shomu culture (Chataigner et al. 2014) have een proposed employing the different eponymous site(s) in different regions or their combination. several cases depicting the Neolithic regional differences between the Middle Kura Valley and Araxes Valley have been described in recent fieldwork and studies of the material culture, address- ng variability in the type of architectural material (Baudouin 2019), livestock animals (Hirose et ul. 2021), and a chronological gap in pottery use (Nishiaki 2021).
