An integrated model of the Neolithic expansion in the Mediterranean Basin. The location of colonist farming enclaves is shown in the red ellipses. Approximate dates of these enclaves are given inside the ellipses in calibrated years B.P. Red dots represent areas that are proposed to have been settled by colonist farmers; green dots indicate areas where indigenous foragers adopted elements of the Neolithic package; and blue dots indicate areas of proposed integration of colonist farmers with indigenous foraging groups. Data were complied from refs. 52, 54, 56, 57, and 65 and figure 7.1 of ref. 74.
