8000 years ago in the remote, boreal landscape of the Siberian taiga, hunter-gatherers built the earliest fortified sites. The development of territoriality and social conflict was not necessarily tied to agriculture.

At this time, people in the region were transitioning from mobile hunter-gatherers to sedentary pastoralists. Desert kites, used to funnel animals whilst hunting, were modified into enclosures, revealing early experiments in animal domestication.

Mass-hunting in South-west Asia at the dawn of sedentism: new evidence from Şanlıurfa, south-east Türkiye
Collation of satellite imagery and new fieldwork in Şanlıurfa (south-east Türkiye) has revealed large numbers of stone-walled desert kites, some of which may date to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (c. 9500–7000 BC). The authors briefly explore the potential role of these structures in the processes of early sedentism and monumentality.

How can Neolithic waste help us understand how Europe's first farmers adapted to a more sedentary lifestyle? Our new joint project with the University of York, "RENEW: From Refuse to Resource: Ceramic and Bone Wastescapes in the Early Neolithic of Europe" hopes to shed light on this.
