Course Content (Syllabus)
Until the end of the 5th millennium BC, the northern Aegean communities appear to have played a significant and dynamic role in the formation of the cultural processes which developed in southeast Europe and the Aegean during the Neolithic. The emergence of hirearchical societies and centralised adminstrative and political systems in the southern Aegean would contribute to the formation of dramatically different trajectories taken place in the southern Aegean communities compared to their northern Aegean counterparts. The current seminar will investigate issues on the organization and use of space, the technological traditions and novelties, the use of raw materials and the exchange systems and networks, the social and ritual practices as well as the burial practices which distinguish the communities in the northern Aegean. Special emphasis will be given to local traditions while cultural and technological features adopted selectively from the surrounding regions of the Balkans and the southern Aegean will also be considered.
