  1. Dereivka

    coord 48 54 53 N 33 46 52 E type city display title Dereivka lang uk is an archaeological site located in the village of the same name in Kirovohrad Oblast , Ukraine , on the right bank of the Dneiper River Dneiper . The site dates to ca. 4500&mdash 3500 BC and is associated with the Sredny Stog culture . This site is known primarily for its status as a site and perhaps as the site of early horse domestication. Radiocarbon dates of the most famous horse head, however, have been disappointing, due to contamination of the evidence they range from the late third millennium BCE to the early first millennium BCE . Since the rest of the site is reliably dated, the earlier of these conflicting radiocarbon dates is compatible with a timeframe several hundred years older. Of interest is some apparently equivocal evidence for fenced houses. Two cemeteries are associated, one from the earlier Dnieper Donets culture and one from the aforementioned Sredny Stog culture. As a part of the Sredny Stog complex, it is considered to be very early Proto Indo Europeans Indo European , and probably, Proto Indo Europeans Proto Indo European , within the traditional context of the Kurgan hypothesis of Marija Gimbutas , though Sredny Stog is itself pre kurgan as to burial rite.

    The Container Revolution is the introduction of pottery into the Eastern Woodlands of North America during the Archaic period in southeastern North America Archaic period . As these societies became more sedentary, they were able to manufacture and use vessels that would have broken during transportation. Pots allowed for more efficient processing of wild seeds, which created less work for people once the pots were made waterproof. More efficient seed collection systems and the deliberate manipulation of the native plants, in turn led to the domestication of several plant species. This is just one of many cultural developments that began during this time. ref Fagan, Brian M., Ancient North America .

Kebaran and Natufian Pre Pottery A and B industries were found. ref The Neolithic of the Levant , by A.M.L. Moore, Oxford University, 1978 http ancientneareast.tripod.com Nahal Oren.html ref Domestication of Gazelles and Goats The main source of food at the site appears to have been gazelle s, and judging from the high incidence of immature gazelles bones, these animals were domesticated. The later shift to goat husbandry may have occurred because goats are less selective in their diets than are gazelles, and can graze regions where the gazelle would not fare well. Wheat was also recovered from Nahal Oren, but it was not certain whether it was cultivated or wild. Grain was relatively rare at the site, in comparison with other food resources. Nahal Oren was occupied repeatedly over thousands of years by culture after culture, which means that it was a preferred site for occupation, rather than an occasional one.
