For the first time, this book presents the entire results of the long-term excavations at the Early Neolithic tell site Gălăbnik in the Struma/Strymon Valley in western Bulgaria. At the tell, a total of ten building horizons of the Gălăbnik group of the Protostarčevo culture and the classical Starčevo culture were documented. After the description and classification of the features and finds, the position of the tell settlement within the Neolithic of the Central Balkans is investigated and defined. In addition, the four regional groups of the Protostarčevo culture, as well as the Starčevo culture itself, are culturally and territorially re-examined and re-structured. Finally, the authors deal with questions on the genesis and chronology of the Neolithic cultures in Southeast Europe.weiterlesen
