Agronomic studies emphasise that agriculture is modelled by different groups of
factors that form complex and dynamic socio-ecological systems of agricultural
production. Biological by nature, this form of production is influenced by natural
environment, many aspects of which are not under farmer’s control, such as, for
instance, species suitability, (micro-)regional climate, pests and diseases.
Farming decisions are further shaped by economic goals, including ensuring
dietary sustenance and generating income. Finally, agricultural activities are
embedded in the social contexts created and reproduced by the farming
households and societies.
This presentation is concerned with plant-based agricultural production in the
Neolithic in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. It observes how crop
cultivation practices varied between the settlements and how they changed
through the c. 1700-year long period (6200-4500 BC). Two transformational
developments punctuate this sequenc...e: (1) transmission in the late 7th
millennium BC of the Early Neolithic farming practices northwards from the
Aegean and into the continental parts of the Balkan Peninsula. We track
adaptations that these practices underwent, as evidence of adjustment to local
environments and climate; such adaptations underpinned creation of the
regional socio-economic context known as the Starčevo culture; (2) emergence
of a new socio-economic context, the Vinča culture, in the 2nd half of the 6th
millennium BC, accompanied by new pottery technology and settlement pattern,
an apparent increase in the population size, and followed by the beginning of
extractive metallurgy at the turn of the millennia; we illustrate how changes in
crop production were one additional element of this general economic growth.
For archaeobotanical inferences on the adaptations and modifications in plant
production, we rely on the analysis of crop and wild diversity (=the range of
species and their relative abundance) in the assemblages from Starčevo and
Vinča culture sites in Serbia.
