This project aims to approach agricultural decision-making among early farmers (between the 6th and the 3rd millennium BCE) and to test if the changes adopted in agriculture actually contributed to increase resilience, particularly during periods of climate variability.

We will study a variety of proxies (seed and fruit remains, insects, small animals, storage features, radiocarbon dates and carbon stable isotope values) from the NW Mediterranean region and the Alpine Foreland.
