Abstract
- the livelihood strategy combining agriculture and livestock, maintained at the PPNB during the beginning of the 7L millennium (MPPNB) in the central and southern part of the Levant, has seriously undermined ecological balances in the vicinity of agricultural establishments, which may have led to the widespread abandonment of villages as early as 6 500 B.C. The solutions provided towards the end of the 7th millennium (LPPNB) are poorly known in the region. Towards the beginning of the millennium, a restructuring of the subsistence economy through the beginning of the separation of the agricultural and pastoral sectors allowed continued sedentary occupation of the Central and Southern Levant, although the economic transformation has led to fundamental readjustments of the cultural framework. This distinct set of socio-economic and cultural adaptations is referred to as Pre-eramic Nolithic (CNPP).
