New interpretation of the Middle and Late Neolithic chronology in the Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve

Old middle and late Neolithic periodisation proposed by S. Dimitrijević (1968 ; 1978 ; 1979) for the Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve (south-western Carpathian basin) underwent very little change over time. New methodology of excavation and results of post ex¬cavation work together with new radiocarbon dates obtained over the last two decades demonstrated the need of combining radio¬carbon chronology with archaeological finds in order to solve certain apparent chronological discrepancies. Middle and late Neolithic pottery styles seem to have been more diverse and their relations more complex than previously thought. Presence of central Eu¬ropean LBK and emergence of Ražište style around 5400/5350 BC (Marković 1985 ; 2012 ; Jákucs et al. 2016 ; Botić 2018) and its spread southwards in the micro region between Donji Miholjac, Đakovo and Slavonski Brod was noticed for the first time (Botić 2017 ; 2018). This micro region was a separation point in late Neolithic as well between Korenovo, Brezovljani and classical Sopot styles (Regenye 2002). Sé and Butmir finds from the eponym Brezovljani site (Marković, Okroša Rožić 2017) and newly confirmed late Vinča presence in the eastern Slavonia (Botić 2019) further stress the complexity of Neolithic connections between the Carpathian basin and the Balkans. New chronologies are proposed for the middle and late Neolithic of the south-western Carpathian basin.
