| Description | History is abundant with specific forms of cultural change caused by migration processes. The most striking changes occurred long before the birth of classical civilisation and forever changed the way of life for ancient communities. These changes are therefore known as the Neolithic (r)evolution. The revolution’s bearer was the population of the original Neolithic centres bound for Central Europe through the South-Eastern Balkans. This region witnessed confrontations between the first incoming farmers and the native Mesolithic communities, which as a result of prolonged contact led to gradual homogenization and new cultural unification. This migration wave brought along a large number of innovations into the material culture, such as the first encounter of ceramics testifying not only to the manual skills of its creators, but also bearing ideological signs of their community. One separate group is composed of vessels with applied anthropomorphic motifs, which are a common sign that connect the whole gradually neolithicised area, including the remote parts of Anatolia. It is on this unique type of ceramic where one can witness how new ideas were gradually spread, as it closely reflects the changes in abstract thinking and the symbolic understanding of the world. |
