Apparition of herding in the Near Eastern Neolithic: a chart (2008). The analyses undertook for my doctoral thesis, allowed to set up a provisional chart of the invention and the intensification of animal domestication during the Neolithic period of the Near East. In this chart, the type of human/animal relationship is determined for every subphase of the Neolithic period and for every (sub)region of South-West Asia concerned with prime neolithisation. This determination follows a set of consideration, described in  details in the thesis, divided between direct (genetic) and indirect hints (sex/age ratio, changes in species geographical distribution etc.). The chart is not meant to stay still, its advantage lying in the possibility to integrate changes, as (re) analyses are currently

Economic and Social Platform for the Neolithic of South-West Asia Plateforme Economique et sociale du NEOlithique d’Asie antérieure. CEDRIC BODET, Muğla University (CV english, CV français, CV Türkçe) cedric.bodet@yahoo.com Abstract This program is seeking to reconstruct the evolution of the social structures affected by the process of neolithisation in SW Asia and in Anatolia  in particular. The investigation blends first-hand economic data (archaeozoological and archaeobotanical) with ethnological  analyses  to replace them within the evolutionary perspective offered by archaeology. Primarily concerned with the advent of animal and plant domestication (relating to the economic infrastructure), the project extends to various social superstructures like ideology,  symbolism, decision-making or kinship. The results take the form of articles, thesis, charts and maps.   Le programme Peneo
