The aim of this course is to examine, within the scope of Archaeology, the emergence, development, and dissemination processes of Neolithic cultures in the Aegean and Southeast European regions through archaeological evidence. The course evaluates the relationships between the Neolithic cultures of Europe and the Near East, the development of settled life, mound formation processes, regional cultural differences, and the interactions between Anatolian and European cultures. In addition, it aims to comparatively analyse the architectural, economic, and social structures of Neolithic settlements in regions such as Eastern Thrace, the Balkans, Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania.
This course examines the Neolithic cultures of the Aegean and Southeast Europe through archaeological evidence. The course addresses the relationships between the Neolithic cultures of Europe and the Near East, the development of settled life, processes of mound formation and stratification, and models of cultural diffusion. Important Neolithic settlements in the Eastern Thrace–Marmara Region, Greece, Bulgaria, the former Yugoslavian territories, and Romania are evaluated, while the cultural interactions between Anatolia and Europe are comparatively discussed. Throughout the course, the architectural structures, economic activities, production technologies, and social organisations of Neolithic societies are analysed in light of archaeological findings.
