  1. FEPRECentral and South-East Europe Report from the activities: 1.01.2007-31.03.2008-03-19

  2. Areas of activities: • A – Eastern Greece • B – Bulgaria, SW Romania, E Hungary • C – E Slovakia, SE Poland

  3. Types of activities: • 1. Radiocarbon dating (AMS Laboratory in Poznań) • 2. Excavations • 3. Field surveys • 4. Studies of collections from older excavations • 5. Inventories of sites of the FTN • 6. Results presented or to be presented at international symposia • 7. Discussions with scholars involved in the project, regional meetings

  4. Radiocarbon datingThe following sites have been dated by AMS in Poznań Laboratory: a) Sarakenos Cave, Greece: dating the Mesolithic/Neolithic interface and the monochrome phase of the Neolithic (12 dates) b) Moravany, Eastern Slovakia: dating the oldest Eastern Linear site in the Ondava valley and its environmental context (8 dates) c) Košice-Červeny Rak, Eastern Slovakia: dating the supposed northernomost Körös Culture site (2 dates) d) Spišska Bela, Northern Slovakia: unsuccessful essays to date the Late Mesolithic in Northern Slovakia (2 dates)

  5. Excavations zone A:Sarakenos Cave (Beotia, Greece) Continuation of the excavaions in trench A of the Mesolithic/Neolithic interface (Monochrome phase)

  6. Mapa Zone A

  7. Sarakenos Cave.Profile of trench A with radiocarbon dates

  8. Sarakenos Cave.Finds from Monochrome EN

  9. Sarakenos Cave.Anthropogenic structures from Mesolithic layers

  10. Sarakenos Cave.Profile of a Mesolithic hearth

  11. Sarakenos Cave.Results of micromorphological studies

  12. Sarakenos Cave.Results of micromorphological studies

  13. Sarakenos Cave.Results of micromorphological studies

  14. Sarakenos Cave.Fauna from Mesolithic and Neolithic layers

  15. Sarakenos Cave.Finds from Mesolithic layers

  16. Sarakenos Cave.Finds from Mesolithic layers

  17. Excavations zone C:Spišska Bela the first excavated Late Mesolithic site in the Northern part of the Carpathian Basin

  18. Regions of Mesolithic occupations in Slovakia:Sered I and Dolna Streda (SW Slovakia) are the only Late Mesolithic sites but known only from surface collections

  19. Spišska Bela.Late Mesolithic sites Vyšna zakruta II and Hoher Rand close to the LBK site

  20. Spišska Bela. Vyšna zakruta II

  21. Spišska Bela. Hoher Rand

  22. Spišska Bela. Section

  23. Spišska Bela. Lithic

  24. Spišska Bela.Late Mesolithic lithics from raw materials imported from S Poland

  25. Excavations in zone C:Moravany near Michalovce (Eastern Slovakia) Earliest Eastern Linear site in the Ondava valley north of East Slovakian Plain

  26. Topographical situation of the site at Moravany

  27. Moravany. Excavated area

  28. Radiocarbon dates from Moravany site

  29. Moravany. Incised and painted pottery

  30. Moravany. Archeobotanical analysis

  31. Geomorphological evolution of the Ondava valley:alluvial and slope sedimentation

  32. Early Holocene:fluvial activity (river channels) dated to 9940+50

  33. Middle Holocene:EN alluvial plain 3 m below contemporary lower terrace; slope deposits with fossil soil dated between 6310+40 to 5830+40

  34. Middle Holocene:fossil soil with Eastern Linear Pottery Culture artefacts.Area exploited by ELPC population of Moravany site.

  35. Field surveys in zone A:Melos island search for sources of obsidian for pre-Neolithic groups in the Aegean basin

  36. Map of the Mesolithic and Monochrome Neolithic siteswith the use of obsidian

  37. The size of obsidian cores (and their shapes) at pre-Neolithic sites of the Aegan basin suggested that the main source were beach pebbles. The richest accumulation of obsidian appears in the northern shore of the Bay of Adamas, on the slope of the Nychia Hills.The only EN obsidian workshop has been identified on the eastern shore of Adamas Bay near Empourios.

  38. Obsidian outcrops in Nychia Hills

  39. View of the Bay of Adamas

  40. Adamas bay beach with obsidian pebbles

  41. Selected obsidian pebbles from the beach corresponding to the core size

  42. Main obsidian outcrop areas (Nychia, Demenegaki) were exploited mainly in the Eneolithic and the Early Bronze Age: this is evidenced by technological analysis of large workshops,registered in the survey of C. Renfrew.

  43. Melos. Sta Nychia workshops

  44. Melos. Sta Nychia workshops

  45. Field surveys in zone C:Trenčin region northermost area of LBK settlements in the Vah valley

  46. View of the site at Trenčianske Turne
