Inferred arrival of farming dates were based on: 1 a weighted average of all calibrated carbon-14 earliest farming arrival dates from Pinhasi et al. [31] within 853 km of each sampling location, weighted using the distance from the sampling location and the standard probability density function for a Gaussian distribution of s.d. 285 km; and 2 by assuming a constant rate of spread of farming (estimated at 0.9 km/year [31]) and calculating the great circle distance from Anatolia to each sampling location. All inferred generations after the start of farming were calculated by assuming a generation time of 25 years [81],[82].
