The Ceramic Neolithic tradition extends from 8000 BP to 6100 BP in the Levant and the Euphrates and Tigris basins below the Taurus and Zagros mountains. People lived in settled villages and were agriculturalists growing cereals and pulses; and also pastoralists raising sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle. Ceramic technology is widespread. There is some settlement hierarchy with farmsteads or hamlets associated with larger villages.
