On the Anti-Neolithic of Cyprus

Cyprus is the first place that we know that crops and livestock were spread to by human action. This even took place before domestication. Morphologically wild wheat and barley, cattle, sheep and goat that appear wild. Cats that were presumably following mice that were stow-aways with grain stores on those early boats; early meaning ~9000 BC. But despite this very early start on the path to agriculture, Cyprus throughout the Neolithic and into the Bronze Age appears decidely unagricultural, what I might dub an anti-Neolithic. This is evident due to the accumulation of archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological evidence, that my colleague Leilani Lucas has been compiling and analyzing for several years, and which is summarized and discussed in our new Journal of World Prehistory article.

Long-term Cypriot trends  in cereals (vs. wild plants)
 Cyprus (black squares) vs. the
mainland (above). Below: proportion of deer
out of  consumed meat (below) 
Cyprus is perhaps quintessentially an island, in the sense of demonstrating evolutionary patterns that work differently from the large land areas and populations of the mainland. So years ago her work demonstrated that in terms of morphological change, domestication processes seem to be happening faster on Cyprus, with much higher rates of grain size increase in wheat. But this does not mean that wheat became quickly important or even that the overall economy was especially agricultural. Instead it appears that cereals (and other crops) remain a minor, rather than dominant, part of the economy for millennia (see left). This is in contrast to the mainland Fertile Crescent where increasingly morphological features of domestication are accompanied by a trend towards increasing use of cereals and dominance of wheats and barley out of all plant remains. If agriculture as an economic change is properly decoupled from domestication (and genetic change), then these trends clearly do not go together on Cyprus. The same is clear in the faunal record. Despite the early translocation of mammals, including livestock or potential livestock (like cattle) but also wild game (like boars and deer), it is hunted game, especially deer, that dominate bone assemblages. Cattle even plausibly go extinct and get reintroduced to Cyprus. For fully agricultural economic systems one perhaps needs to look at transformations from the Middle to Late Bronze Age, driven by Cyprus getting more central to a world system of trade, in which cultivation of "cash crop" fruits became important. In this context continued hunter-gatherer economic activities  lost ground to the food and economic production activities that transformed the wild fringes to investment agriculture.

Thus despite material culture that we class as Neolithic (and Bronze Age) the economy looks rather anti-Neolithic.

Making online purchases or investments are becoming increasingly difficult , There are rippers everywhere on the internet looking for whom to take advantage of, I am a victim too. I have been dealing cryptocurrencies for almost a decade , I was introduced to .... as the most profitable investment platforms out there , I could buy cryptocurrencies at 40% discount once I am an investor on the website , It was a good deal for me , I started with 3btc and got my returns and reinvested it on the site , I went all out ,got money to buy more , At my third deal I invested 30btc at the rate of 13000usd/btc .. I was unable to withdraw , trade or access my $390000 worth of btc afterwards, My world was shattered and the banks were ready to take my house , Worst way to get a divorce .. I reported to the police but there was little information for them to start with, one of the officers who became a close friend told me about a private investigation firm here in the United States , He gave me the contact of wizard wilson who i have experienced magic w. that he could help me recover my funds and even trace the culprits if need be , I never believed it until I met him and talked about my situation, He showed me a list and over 150 clients on his catalogue reported a similar situation from different platforms.. I was fortunate to meet him, He is very professional and excellent at his job , He tracked out my profile and traced it out to the master wallet... He confirmed how much I have invested and transferred it to my wallet like it was magic,You can reach the firm from the wizardwilsonsoftware (@) Yahoo.com

CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL HACKER, RECOVERY MASTERS

I needed to fix my credit urgently. My scores were between 490 to 530 across all 3 bureaus, I had an eviction but I wasn't sure if it was on my credit or not yet, I kept getting denied each time I tried to get a new home. With desperation, I did some research online and luckily for me, I found so many recommendations about RECOVERY MASTERS. I contacted them via: email (Recoverymasters@email.cz) They promised to help me and we got started with the job. A week later they completed a full credit repair process on my credit profile. They were able to remove the eviction alongside other negatives and that boosted my scores to 790 and above, across all 3 bureaus. You can buzz them if you have such an issues, reachout at their email or whatsapp +1(551) 202-23-35

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to the woman who commented on how she used DWOH to recover her bitcoin and return it to her wallet. Coincidentally, I experienced a similar issue and, after losing a total of $88,000 on a phony cryptocurrency investment platform, I felt compelled to contact them for assistance. Today, I can attest to their authenticity because, as I type this, I have my lost bitcoin back in my CoinBase wallet and am in tears of joy. Please get in touch with DWOH using the following information via Email Address: dwchzone@gmail.com OR Whats-App: +1 (803) 392-1735 if you're having withdrawal issues, wish to recover, or want to confirm a website is legitimate before investing.
