Expansion of the neolithic way of life through the Mediterranean Basin

Neolithic is commonly defined based on changes in the livelihood economy, which is likely the transition from hunter-gatherer to food production. With recent research, it has been understood that the concept of Neolithic is a much more complex process than defined; it has been accepted that there is different Neolithic way of life's than farming-based village life and that these cultures can develop at different times in various geographies of the world. The emergence and/ or neolithization process of the Neolithic Period is still discussed based on both origin and expansion. For many years, studies of Levant origin and Europe have shaped the opinions put forward; the lack of research and interest in other regions can often be added to the discussions in general. The Mediterranean maritime expansion debates in recent years have led to the development of different perspectives with increasing knowledge and interest. It reflects the common geography of the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Near East. The basin, which starts from the shores of the Levant to the east, contains a wide range of natural areas to the Atlantic, but reflects a common denominator is marine. Studies on the region are carried out mainly based on two regions separated as eastern and western Mediterranean, and Africa is often excluded in general discussion. The complex social structure of the Neolithic way of life makes direct approaches inadequate and the models that can suggests being through multifaceted studies. The problematic of the thesis topic is how the expansion of the Neolithic way of life that we mentioned above. On this basis, The Mediterranean basin has studied as main region and a multifaceted (land and sea) spread will be investigated, and contributions will be made to the problem.
