A new study from the Leibniz‑Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) in Germany, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, argues that cold conditions were unlikely to have caused the centuries‑long pause in the spread of farming across south‑eastern Europe during prehistory.
The research examined the Greek archaeological site of Franchthi and found no evidence of extreme cold there. In addition, the study reported no statistically significant link between local temperature fluctuations and changes in how people obtained their food.
