 Σε: Neolithic revolutionΠερίληψη: Recent studies have challenged the long-held notion that Cyprus was not occupied prior to the island’s Neolithic period, which itself was often regarded as an isolated and relatively uninteresting phenomenon. This research began with the interdisciplinary excavations at the controversial site of Akrotiri-Aetokremnos, which demonstrated that people had been in Cyprus far earlier than originally thought, at around 10,000 cal B.C. The site also strongly implicated humans in the extinction of the endemic Pleistocene pygmy hippopotamus. Subsequent research has documented a previously unknown, earlier, phase of the Aceramic Neolithic. This both shortens the chronological gap between paper assesses the significance of Aetokremnos to both Cypriot and broader Near Eastern early Holocene prehistory.
