Settlement Patterns and Landscape Biographies of Neolithic Thessaly (BioNeT)

BioNeT addresses the diversity of the built environment and settlement layout in Thessaly (Central Greece) during the Neolithic period in tandem to their surrounding landscapes. It builds on the recent study (IGEAN) of our team that revealed a radically different picture of the earliest European farming communities than previously recognized. The variability in the size and internal organization of sites raises important questions about social structure and habitation within a diversified environmental context. The preliminary results of IGEAN have just begun to scrape the surface of how people in Neolithic Thessaly negotiated their natural and cultural surroundings, offering staggering new insights into the origins of permanent habitation in Europe.

BioNeT offers the platform for further analysis of these results that exposed a Neolithic landscape of immense variation with a parallel complexity of the settlements. Through spatial analysis and modelling it will try to shed light to the evolution of the settlement patterns of the Neolithic period in Thessaly and analyse the influence of the surrounding environment, making a parallel comparison to the rest of the settlements of the Balkans and Eastern Europe.
