The period c. 10,000-5000 BC witnessed fundamental changes in the
human condition with societies across the Fertile Crescent shifting
their alignment from millennia-old practices of seasonally mobile
hunting and foraging to year-round sedentism, plant cultivation and
animal herding. The significant role of Iran in the early stages of
this transition was recognised more than half a century ago but has
not been to the fore of academic consciousness in recent decades.
In the meantime, investigations into Neolithic transformation have
proceeded apace in all other regions of the Fertile Crescent and
beyond. Here, 18 studies attempt to redress that balance in
re-assessing the role of Iran in the early neolithisation of human
societies. These studies, many of them by Iranian scholars,
consider patterns of change and/or continuity across a variety of
topographical landscapes; investigate Neolithic settlement
patterns, the use of caves, animal exploitation and environmental
indicators and present new insights into some well-known and some
newly investigated sites. The results re-affirm the formative role
of this region in the transition to sedentary farming.
