Neolithisation of the Aegean and Southeast Europe during the 6600–6000 calBC period of Rapid Climate Change

In extension of the recently established ‘Rapid Climate Change (RCC) Neolithisation Model’ (Clare 2013), in the present paper we demonstrate the existence of a remarkable coincidence between the exact (decadel-scale) entry and departure dates of the Neolithic into/from the Aegean ( ~ 6600/6050 calBC) with begin/end of RCC-conditions.
