Balkan, Anatolia, Near East

Neolithic Transformation - Some Inquires
Author's orientation is to raise some questions tied with the topic in the title from the
SE European archaeological point of view. Several critical comments on (lie, up to
data, research methodology, investigation strategy, as well as scientific theoretical
elucidation on the Neolithic of Balkans are disclosed. The author also presents current
scientific theories and hypothesis on the phenomenon of "Neolithic Revolution"
regarding the archaeology of SW Asia. A short review of the relationship between SW
Asia and SB Europe, on the genesis of Neolithic, with accentuated inquires about the
biogeography of progenitors of domesticates, generate questions:
- What the interpretation of different breeding strategies of Balkano-Carpatian cultural
complex (cattle, pig) and Balkano-Anatolian one (caprovides) might be?
- How can one explain the presence of hornless sheep within the Anzabegovo cultural
group, as well as Balkano-Carpato-Pannonian cultural complex but for Early
Neolithic Greece?

Regarding the developed pottery Neolithic the author offers a brief comparative
analysis of the three groups of painted earthenware, widely distributed from Balkans
to Transcaspia (fig. 1-43, 47, 48), resulting in isolation of 7 cultural entities (text
chart). This generate the question:
- Within the developed-classical pottery Neolithic, aside the current tendencies for
fixing the particularities, is it possible to recognize some mechanisms for establishing
a wide fan of relationships through a Grand territory?
The goal of author's questioning is to trace for enlightening relations between SE
Europe and SW Asia, that was never one-way direction.
