Extended Data Fig. 1: Regional OxCal phase model of the Mesolithic-to-Neolithic transition.
From: Hunter-gatherer sea voyages extended to remotest Mediterranean islands

OxCal phase modelling of the estimated start and end dates for the Mesolithic and Neolithic phases in and around Malta125 using the IntCal20 terrestrial calibration curve55. Results indicate a general geographical cline in the spread of the Neolithic in mainland Italy from north to south, to Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, and then finally to Malta. See the OxCal script in https://github.com/wccarleton/mesoneomalta for specifics.
