Abstract

The Iron Gates is one of few regions in Southeast Europe where Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic are well represented. Still, both the origin and timing of the ‘Neolithic’ in the area are difficult to assess. The appearance of new cultural elements, including pottery, crouched burials and domesticates is believed to coincide with the spread of Starčevo-Körös-Criş farmers. The present papers briefly reviews the information on the Early Neolithic sites in the Iron Gates I and II areas.
