The ...
Domesticated rye occurs in small quantities at some Neolithic sites in (Asia Minor) Turkey, such as the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (c. 7600 – c. 6000 BC) Can Hasan III near Çatalhöyük, [44] but is otherwise absent until the Bronze Age of central Europe, c. 1800–1500 BC. [45]

In 1973, Ammerman and Cavalli-Sforza discovered a linear relationship between the age of an Early Neolithic site and its distance from the conventional source in the Near East , demonstrating that the Neolithic spread at an average speed of about 1 km/yr. [76] More recent studies (2005) confirm these results and yield the speed of 0.6–1.3 km ...

This showed that following the start of the Neolithic in Britain, i.e. the arrival of the first farmers in the 41st century BC, the first monuments built were long barrows, which became popular at the end of the 39th century, that is, around 3800 BC (or a few decades later [4]). The fashion for causewayed enclosures took off in the late 38th ...
