Gobliki Tepe is enough for me and this speculation. I'm guessing it wasn't discovered when you were sitting your exams. But the Wikipedia page no doubt has the details you want in your list, though not when it started as we just don't know.
But yes, let's stop chatting and thanks for not getting full-on insulting.

The name of the archaeological site
The location of the archaeological site
The date span of occupancy for the archaeological site
The artifact from this site that acknowledges indicates or suggests sea levels rising.
For example
Cueva de El Castillo,
Caves of Monte Castillo, Puente Viesgo, Cantabria, Spain.
Occupancy; 41,000BP to 38,000BP
"Hand stenciled blown ochre onto rock. Depiction of late neolithic spear with split shaft"No. Because in archaeology and anthropology "civilization" has some specific characteristics. One of those is an occupied settlement separate from food production and a separate class structure of non producers. You are confused and mistaking human settlements for civilizations. By your logic there were 50,000 civilizations in Europe between 50,000BP and the bronze age. (ie small subsistence villages) Do you think this 40,000 year old object was produced by a "civilization"?salomed wrote: A definitive question for you Matthew Ellard: Yes or No: Do you think there were civilisations five thousand years before the fertile crescent.Let's stop chatting. I know this subject matter off by heart and sat exams on neolithic culture. I can even knap you a "good scrapper" and weave you a rush fishing net. My friend is in Iran exploring the routes of indo-european language from India to Europe. There are real mysteries yet to be solved. Re exploring debunked theories is a waste of time.salomed wrote:If you answer No, we cant continue this chat. If you answer yes, lets come up with a list.
