DeutschFirst Temperate Neolithic
The First Temperate Neolithic (FTN) is an archaeological horizon consisting of the earliest archaeological cultures of Neolithic Southeastern Europe, dated to c. 6400–5100 BCE.[1] The cultures of the FTN were the first to practice agriculture in temperate Europe, which required significant innovations in farming technology previously adapted to a mediterranean climate.[2]
The constituent cultures of the FTN are:[1]
- the Starčevo–Kőrös–Criș culture, encompassing:
- the Starčevo culture, c. 6200–5200 BCE, western Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, eastern Croatia and western Hungary;
- the Kőrös culture, c. 6400–5100 BCE, eastern Hungary;
- the Criş culture, c. 6400–5200 BCE, Romania;
- the Karanovo I/II culture, c. 6300–5100 BCE, central and southern Bulgaria;
- the Macedonian First Neolithic, c. 6600–5300 BCE, North Macedonia;
- the Poljanica group, c. 6300–5200 BCE, northeast Bulgaria;
- the West Bulgarian Painted Ware culture, c. 6200–5200 BCE, western Bulgaria.
- the Vinča culture, c. 5400–4500 BC, Serbia and near countries
