Kazantzis, G. 2014. Preliminary Results from a Faunal Assemblage in Greek Central Macedonia: the Case of the Late Neolithic Promachon Sector (original) (raw)

For almost 800 years, life in the prehistoric settlement of Promachon-Topolnica in Greek central Macedonia was practically uninterrupted. Excavations of the site revealed the existence of a Late Neolithic settlement of the 'flat extended' type, situated exactly on the borderline between Greece and Bulgaria, covering two adjacent hilltops and encompassing an area of almost 5 hectares. From September 2011 onwards, the faunal assemblage recovered from six successive layers from the Greek side of the border (sector Promachon) is being studied as part of a doctoral research at the University of Sheffield, UK. What is being presented here, are the preliminary results of this research.
