Abstract
The article deals with the level of understanding of settlement wholes in the Neolithic in the eastern Adriatic region. It offers a comparison of the results of earlier and recent research as well as analysis of modest understanding of settlement aspects from the earlier excavations. The author concludes that the main reason for such situation can be found in the research strategy with primary orientation to the vertical dimension and small research areas indicating that it is necessary to change research strategies and orient to horizontal dimension of a site.
Highlights
The article deals with the level of understanding of settlement wholes in the Neolithic in the eastern Adriatic region
Starting from usual criteria for evaluation of a certain prehistoric period such as the number of explored sites, extent of understanding general developmental dynamics and developmental dynamics within certain chronological segments, chronological course and mutual relations of the belonging cultural individualities, their spatial distributions, interrelations with other simultaneous phenomena in the neighbouring regions etc., we can say without any doubt that the Neolithic is the best explored and best known period of prehistory in the region of the eastern Adriatic and its hinterland as an integral part of its geographic and cultural environment
Open questions relating general developmental dynamics are almost non-existent at the level of a period as well as developmental dynamics of its limited chronological segments
Summary
The article deals with the level of understanding of settlement wholes in the Neolithic in the eastern Adriatic region.
