摘要

New evidence for the presence of early farmers in Aegean Thrace (Northeastern Greece) is presented through interdisciplinary research at Paradimi, a tell settlement that is the eponym of the Neolithic period in Greek Thrace, formerly referred to as the “Paradimi culture”. Combining archaeological, palaeogeographical, geological and geophysical investigations, including borehole cores and radiocarbon dating, conducted on the site and its surroundings has yielded new data regarding the establishment, duration, size, and layout of the settlement. Radiocarbon dates obtained for the first time indicate the settlement’s origin in the Early Neolithic (≤ 6200 BC), and confirm its occupation during the Middle and Late Neolithic periods. The site was likely abandoned at some point during the Final Neolithic, re-inhabited in the Early Bronze Age, and ultimately abandoned again during that period, remaining uninhabited throughout the subsequent prehistoric period. Geological investigations have detected flooding episodes in the immediate vicinity of the settlement. Geophysical surveys suggest the settlement was enclosed by at least two ditches, with dwellings arranged freely within the area thus delimited. The stratigraphic data, combined with radiocarbon dates from a borehole core extracted at the apex of the tell, indicate the presence of early farmers in the region potentially earlier than previously understood.
