The publication presents the excavation of the Neolithic settlement strata of the tell Platia Magoula Zarkou, situated in the Peneios Plain in Western Thessaly (Greece). The tell is characterized by an uninterrupted settlement sequence which, according to the radiocarbon data, dates to the 6th millennium BC and includes the Middle Neolithic and early Late Neolithic of Greece. Geological and geophysical analyses situate the tell in its natural environment. They show that during the Neolithic period, this part of the Peneios Valley was characterized by a temporary lake, the settlement being situated on the bank of a narrow gulf. The tell was surrounded by ditches which clearly defined the settlement area. Based on the stratigraphy and building development, the radiocarbon data, the tools, the ritual objects – including the well-known house model – as well as the ornaments, the cultural development and change during this period are analysed. The nine building phases show an alternation of built and unbuilt areas. Clear change is seen in the character of the finds from the late Middle Neolithic onwards, which inter alia is evident in the use of raw materials as well as the connected acquisition network. The house model is interpreted as a symbol of a buried household, the figurines as its inhabitants, being characterized by special roles in this household.

“…Lithic characterization studies have built on the success of the Budapest Lithoteka (Biró et al 2000), just as new ground stone tool studies in Greece have addressed social aspects of raw material selection and tool manufacture. Technical analyses of copper metallurgy have revealed that the Central Balkans was the earliest center in the world for copper smelting (Radivojević & Rehren 2016), whereas technological analyses of pottery have shed new light on the number of production centers, exchange networks, and interregional diversification all over Greece (Pentedeka 2017) One of the most impressive projects-the Times Of Their Lives (or TOTL)-has involved the Bayesian modeling of hitherto unthinkable numbers of AMS dates (up to 250 for the Vinča tell) for key sites across Europe, including two Balkan tells and the Alsónyék complex (Whittle 2018); the 14 C chronology for Dikili Tash is comparable, with more than 100 dates (http://www.dikili-tash. gr/).…”

“…Regional pottery exchange between cultural groups was nested within interregional exchange, found throughout the period, whether of obsidian, ground and polished stone, or copper. A minimum of ten ceramic (Pentedeka 2017) and two major lithic (Karimali 2009) exchange networks were active in Thessaly, with specialized "itinerant obsidian knappers" connecting all settlements (Perlès 2001). The recognition of two Late Neolithic Carpathian exchange networks-an inner and an outer route-convincingly links a dozen different materials (Kovács 2013).…”

The prehistory of the Aegean, Balkans, and Carpathian Basin has changed dramatically in the last two decades. This review covers five aspects of these changes: ( a) the development of theoretical approaches, in which diversification from cultural archaeology has seen the spread of processual, postprocessual and later approaches; ( b) the acquisition of data, with the key major development being the proliferation of large-scale infrastructure projects; ( c) the synthesis of data, the most significant challenge being to make sense of the massive increase in paleo-environmental research, materials science, regional surveys, and site monographs; ( d ) thematic questions, whose very diversity underscores the discipline's growth in these regions; and ( e) emergent trends, such as the creation of new forms of synthesis at the local, regional, and interregional scales, the theorizing and differentiation of new ways of relating people, places, plants, and animals and objects, and continuing diversification in the application of scientific techniques. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Anthropology, Volume 49 is October 21, 2020. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
