Does anyone know of a paper or dataset that compiles the earliest known dates of agriculture in a given region? Globally, ideally, but I'd settle for a continent or two...
(I know there are several options for the European Neolithic, but beyond that?)
@joeroe Doesn't quite work that way in Neolithic studies. The earliest dates in a region are always contested. You need to find the earliest uncontested dates by reading a review article for each area.
@joeroe Sadly also difficult because the data points aren't evenly distributed across the map. "Is this area empty of early agriculture? No, it's just far from cities and universities, so nobody ever excavates there."
