Neolithic pottery from the DAI collection: Boiotia

This presentation of Neolithic finds from Boiotia in the DAI Athens collection allows a broader outlook on this region. A detailed assessment of pottery types and the landscape settings of the respective settlements enhances our understanding of Neolithic Boiotia. Moreover, the diachronic analysis of both these datasets provides a template for the development of the Neolithic period in Central Greece. Contemporary parallels from regions such as Attica, Euboia, Fthiotis, the Peloponnese and Thessaly provide valid comparisons. The similarities and differences highlight both common elements throughout Neolithic Greece and regional idiosyncrasies in relation to the socio-economic conditions of each phase.
