1/ The discovery of untouched Mesolithic layers in the cave of Cyclops at Youra and a coastal Mesolithic open-air settlement in Maroulas at Kythnos have come to add to the Mesolithic finds from the great cave site at Franchthi, ➡️ 
➡️ offering valuable information for the understanding of the survival strategies of the pre-Neolithic groups of Aegean.
How ongoing research is increasing the available corpus (and our understanding) of Pre-Pottery #Neolithic #iconography.
Just a little #archaeology 🧵 on why this is really fascinating. 😉

Early evidence for wild grapevine and grape consumption appears at Epigravettian and #Mesolithic Grotta del Romito (Calabria) and Torre Canne (Apulia).
Localised domestication may have occurred in Neolithic S Italy and pollen indicates possible early grapevine cultivation c. 2000 BCE in the Massaciuccoli Basin, Tuscany.
