旧世界的农业系统起源于西南亚的半干旱地中海环境。公元前6000年早期，在巴尔干半岛内陆定居的先驱农民是最早将西南亚式的耕作和放牧引入大陆温带气候日益增强的地区的人之一。先前的研究表明，东南欧早期农业遗址的生物考古组合在植物和动物分类群的比例上各不相同，但分类变异与气候之间的关系仍然知之甚少。为了同时揭示多个物种和环境因素之间的关联，我们使用典型对应分析（CCA）探索了一个数据集，包括海拔高度，5个生物气候和30个生物考古变量（植物和动物类群），用于东南欧57个最早的农业遗址。作为对应分析的延伸，CCA被广泛应用于应用生态学中，以回答物种与环境关系的类似问题，但此前尚未应用于史前考古学中，以探索分类和气候变量的结合。分析表明，植物和动物的开发与农民，作物和牲畜向北扩散发生的变化与南北气候梯度，并强调在动物领域的适应的重要性，初步建立农业超出地中海地区。
The Old World farming system arose in the semi-arid Mediterranean environments of southwest Asia. Pioneer farmers settling the interior of the Balkans by the early sixth millennium BC were among the first to introduce southwest Asian-style cultivation and herding into areas with increasingly continental temperate conditions. Previous research has shown that the bioarchaeological assemblages from early farming sites in southeast Europe vary in their proportions of plant and animal taxa, but the relationship between taxonomic variation and climate has remained poorly understood. To uncover associations between multiple species and environmental factors simultaneously, we explored a dataset including altitude, five bioclimatic and 30 bioarchaeological variables (plant and animal taxa) for 57 of the earliest farming sites in southeast Europe using Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). An extension of correspondence analysis, CCA is widely used in applied ecology to answer similar questions of species-environment relationships, but has not been previously applied in prehistoric archaeology to explore taxonomic and climatic variables in conjunction. The analyses reveal that the changes in plant and animal exploitation which occurred with the northward dispersal of farmers, crops and livestock correlate with south-north climate gradients, and emphasize the importance of adaptations in the animal domain for the initial establishment of farming beyond the Mediterranean areas.
