We are able to yield nuanced insights into the process of the Neolithization in the Near East based on a bioarchaeological approach integrating isotopic and archaeogenetic analyses on the bone remains recovered from Neval{\i} {\c{C}}ori, a site occupied from the early PPNB in Turkey where some of the earliest evidence of animal and plant domestication emerged, and from Ba{\textquotesingle}ja, a typical late PPNB site in Jordan. In addition, we present the archaeological sequence of Neval{\i} {\c{C}}ori together with newly generated radiocarbon dates. Our results are based on strontium (87Sr/86Sr), carbon, and oxygen ($\delta$18O and $\delta$13Ccarb) isotopic analyses conducted on 28 human and 29 animal individuals from the site of Neval{\i} {\c{C}}ori. 87Sr/86Sr results indicate mobility and connection with the contemporaneous surrounding sites during the earlier PPNB prior to an apparent decline in this mobility at a time of growing reliance on domesticates. Genome-wide data from six human individuals from Neval{\i} {\c{C}}ori and Ba{\textquotesingle}ja demonstrate a diverse gene pool at Neval{\i} {\c{C}}ori that supports connectedness within the Fertile Crescent during the earlier phases of Neolithization and evidence of consanguineous union in the PPNB Ba{\textquotesingle}ja and the Iron Age Neval{\i} {\c{C}}ori.}}, contents = {Results - Strontium Isotope Analysis of Human Remains. - Stable Isotope Analyses of Human Remains. - Isotope Analyses of the PPNB Animals. - Genetic Analysis of Human Remains.
