AI-generated Abstract

The Podgoritsa Archaeological Project investigates a multi-layer tell settlement from the Eneolithic period in Bulgaria, focusing on the cultural, environmental, and social contexts of the site. The project involved excavation and analysis to uncover the life-histories of habitation, off-tell activities, and the region's soil and hydrology. Despite constraints leading to a truncated research timeline and significant loss of data, the study highlights the increased agricultural production and complex settlement patterns characteristic of the Eneolithic, positioning the findings within broader southeastern European prehistory.
