Anta 1 de Val da Laje – the first direct view of diet, dairying practice and socio-economic aspects of pottery use in the final Neolithic of central Portugal
The First Balkan Neolithic in the Lower Danube Plain and the Making of a Pottery Tradition
In this chapter, the author focuses on First Balkan Neolithic (FBN) pottery from just one site, where he believe that it is roughly representative of FBN sites' assemblages across the Balkan area. The Boldul site, its pottery representing the beginning of ceramic production in the Lower Danube Plain in Romania, is one of at least twenty sites in the area that are spread along the Danube's northern and southern tributaries and datable to the FBN p…
Clay preparation and function of the first ceramics in north-west Anatolia: A case study from Neolithic Barcın Höyük
The Late Chalcolithic Settlement of Barcin Höyük
This report presents the Late Chalcolithic levels at Barc n Hoyuk, located in the Yeni ehir Basin in the eastern part of the province of Bursa (figure 1). Excavations began in 2005 and earlier reports have appeared in this journal and elsewhere (Roodenberg, van As and Alpaslan Roodenberg 2008; Gerritsen and Ozbal 2008, 2009, 2010). The Barc n Hoyuk Excavations take place in the context of the long-term regional research project ‘Early Farming Com…
The Neolithic–Chalcolithic sequence in the SW Anatolian Lakes Region
This paper reviews the radiocarbon, stratigraphic and pottery evidence from five early pottery sites in SW Turkey. A comparison of the results with data from Ulucak in West Turkey indicates no significant time lag between these areas. The onset of Neolithic sites early in the 7th millennium calBC makes it difficult to link their emergence to the collapse theories applied to SE Anatolian societies at the end of the PPNB period. The chronology prop…
The Impact of Rapid Climate Change on Prehistoric Societies during the Holocene in the Eastern Mediterranean
In this paper we explore the impact of Rapid Climate Change (RCC) on prehistoric communities in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Early and Middle Holocene. Our focus is on the social implications of the four major climate cold anomalies that have recently been identified as key time-windows for global RCC (Mayewski et al. 2004). These cooling anomalies are well-dated, with Greenland ice-core resolution, due to synchronicity between warm/cold …
Depending on 14 C Data: Chronological Frameworks in the Neolithic and Chalcolithic of Southeastern Europe
With the introduction of the radiocarbon method in 1949 and the calibration curve constantly improving since 1965, but especially due to the development of the more accurate accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating some 30 yr ago, the application of the 14 C method in prehistory revolutionized traditional chronological frameworks. Theories and models are adjusted to new 14 C sequences, and such sequences even lead to the creation of new theorie…
New Insights in Balkan–Anatolian Connections in the Late Chalcolithic: Old Evidence from the Turkish Black Sea Littoral
The Northern Anatolian region under consideration here, the Bafra plain with its main site of Ikiztepe, and the Samsun area with Dündartepe, should be seen as a contact zone between Central Anatolia, the Balkans and the Eastern Aegean. Several items of material culture from Northern Anatolia can be linked with Southeast Europe, the islands off the coast of Western Turkey and Central Anatolia. These connections were established at least by the end…
