In the following video, Dan Davis will look at cannibalism in Herxheim (shortest period, but most gruesome number of victims), El Toro and Fontbrégoua, the latter two being caves. I'll comment on how things are shortened (and in Herxheim intensified) with New Tables.

6:58 With my New Tables, the extention in time of Herxheim is reduced to about 1/5 ...
5300 BC carbon dated. Between 5420 and 5248:
- 2220 B. Chr.
- 68.0023 pmC, so dated as 5420 B. Chr.
- 2198 B. Chr.
- 69.2256 pmC, so dated as 5248 B. Chr.
So, between 2220 and 2198 for real dates, we have 2209 BC.
4950 BC carbon dated. Between 5003 and 4881:
- 2153 B. Chr.
- 70.6677 pmC, so dated as 5003 B. Chr.
- 2131 B. Chr.
- 71.8838 pmC, so dated as 4881 B. Chr.
So, between 2153 and 2131 BC for real dates, we have 2142.
5300 - 4950 = 350 years
2209 - 2142 = 67 years
8:30, you mentioned Linear Pottery Culture.*
1350 or 194 years?
Linear pottery. 5600 - 4250
Carbon dated 5600 is closer to 5693 than to 5420
- 2243 B. Chr.
- 65.7496 pmC, so dated as 5693 B. Chr.
- 2220 B. Chr.
- 68.0023 pmC, so dated as 5420 B. Chr.
2235 is also closer to real date 2243 than to 2220.
4250 is pretty spot on 4241:
- 2041 B. Chr.
- 76.6964 pmC, so dated as 4241 B. Chr.
So, we stick with 2041 as real date.
5600 - 4250 = 1350
2235 - 2041 = 194
8:51 1000 people.**
1000 in 350 years is above 2.8 per year.
1000 in 67 years is above 14.9 per year.
14:03 El Toro started about the same time as Herxheim and lasted a bit longer:
El Toro Cave 5280 - 4780 BC carbon dated.
5420 - 5280 = 140
5280 - 5248 = 32
5280 is far closer to 5248 than to 5420.
- 2220 B. Chr.
- 68.0023 pmC, so dated as 5420 B. Chr.
- 2198 B. Chr.
- 69.2256 pmC, so dated as 5248 B. Chr.
I'd go with 2202 BC.
4881 - 4780 = 101
4780 - 4708 = 72
4780 is roughly midway between the other ones.
- 2131 B. Chr.
- 71.8838 pmC/100, so dated as 4881 B. Chr.
- 2108 B. Chr.
- 73.0966 pmC/100, so dated as 4708 B. Chr.
2120 BC.
5280 - 4780 = 500 years
2202 - 2120 = 82 years
14:14, Aegean Farmers.***
6500 BC carbon dated ...
- 2355 B. Chr.
- 59.6678 pmC, so dated as 6605 B. Chr.
- 2332 B. Chr.
- 60.9109 pmC, so dated as 6432 B. Chr.
2344 BC
Not 1500 years earlier, but just around 140 years earlier.
18:26 Fontbrégoua cave
5000 BC to 4000 BC, carbon dated.
5000 very neatly fits 5003:
2153 B. Chr. 70.6677 pmC, so dated as 5003 B. Chr.
2153 BC, search no further.
4000 BC is between 4069 and 3946:
- 2019 B. Chr.
- 77.8962 pmC, so dated as 4069 B. Chr.
- 1996 B. Chr.
- 79.0927 pmC, so dated as 3946 B. Chr.
2007 or 2008 BC - when Abraham is 7 years old.°
5000 - 4000 = 1000 years, obviously, but ...
2153 - 2007.5 = 145.5 years.
14.55 % of the carbon time involved.
* Herxheim's material culture is part of the Linear Potter Culture.
** 1000 people is an estimate of the total number of victims at Herxheim
*** The video here says that the populations in El Toro Cave and Herxheim both descend from Aegean farmers dated to 6500 BC.
