“…The number of sites reaches a maximum (17) during the Middle Neolithic (5980-5500 BC). There is a slight decrease in the number of sites (12) during the Late Neolithic (5500-4500 BC), whilst a marked decrease characterizes the Final Neolithic (4500-3300 BC), which is represented by four sites; this is a familiar trend across Thessaly (Toufexis 2016). Another four sites are presently characterized as broadly Neolithic.…”

“…In the plain of Karditsa, the Middle Neolithic Myrine-Agia Varvara and four contemporaneous tells are located within a radius of less than 2km. Looking eastwards, early Late Neolithic Galene in the southern part of the Larissa basin existed contemporaneously with and in close proximity to (0.7-2.5km) another flat site and nine tell sites (Toufexis 2017). In the case of Magoula Rizava, the Early to Middle Neolithic tell was abandoned and the flat settlement at Agios Theodoros-Vourgarolakka was established around the mound during the early Late Neolithic.…”

“…Another four sites are presently characterized as broadly Neolithic. Based on the available evidence, only Magoula Agios Ioannis Prodromos and its possible 'satellites' (ID6862, ID1358, ID4706; Karagiannopoulos 2016) span the entire Neolithic, while the identification of numerous sites, either single-period or short-lived, in the Kambos and elsewhere in the region (Vouzaxakis 2008;Toufexis 2017) blurs the traditional stereotypical notions of the longevity and continuity of Thessalian Neolithic settlement (see also Kotsakis 2005;Halstead 2006).…”

This paper explores important new evidence from recent and ongoing landscape and excavation projects carried out in Thessaly that revolutionizes our understanding of the Neolithic in the region. Moving from wider landscapes to individual archaeological sites, the paper focuses on complexity and diversity in the spatio-temporal manifestation and internal structure of Neolithic settlements, and highlights the potential of the current direction of research to illuminate the lifeways of the Neolithic people of Thessaly.

“…Another variation of the concentric pattern is provided by Palioskala (5th millennium bc ), a lakeside tell 6 m high, exposed to an extent of 3,500 m 2 (Figure 3; Toufexis, 2016). The settlement is surrounded by a series of stone-built concentric enclosures of various sizes and distances from each other (3.50-8 m).…”

Kinship is a most significant organizing principle of human grouping, the basic matter of social categories in archaeological and ethnographic societies, and an important concept universally. However, its significance has rarely been adequately incorporated within archaeology’s theoretical and interpretative practice. This article aims to not only show the potential of bringing kinship into social archaeology, but also argue that archaeology can make important contributions to wider social research. Grounded on prehistoric data, spanning from the 8th to the 4th millennium bc, and drawing on cross-cultural discussions, it explores how understandings and practices of kinship might have been constructed and enacted in the first farming communities through architecture, time, material products, burials, and rituals. In doing so, the article addresses key issues of common interest in archaeology and anthropology, inviting interdisciplinary dialogue.

“…But life did go on in the area. We know now at least two sites, Palioskala and Galini, which continue to be occupied until 3900 or possibly 3700 cal BCE (Toufexis 1999(Toufexis , 2016). Their material culture shows "hybrid" features with affi nities both to what preceded, i.e.…”
