Cultural versus demic diffusion in agricultural expansions according to three definitions of dispersal distances
Mathematical models of agricultural spread use distances between birthplaces of parents and their children (often called “birthplace distances”)....

Dispersal distances and cultural effects in the spread of the Neolithic along the northern Mediterranean coast
We estimate a spread rate of 7.5–10.6 km/year for the Neolithic expansion along the northern shore of the western Mediterranean. Comparing to theory...

Invention or diffusion: on the appearance of limestone temper in the late Holocene archeological record of southern Ohio, USA
One of the most fundamental questions archeologists face is whether some form or expression of material culture appears at a specific geo-temporal...
