14C dating of Neolithic cultures in Croatia

Two early Neolithic settlements, Slavonski Brod – Galovo and Zadubravlje – Dužine in Eastern Croatia have been studied by both archaeological methods and 14C dating. Both settlements belong to the Linear A phase of the Starčevo culture complex according to the typological and stylistic analyses of archaeological material. 18 dated charcoal and wood samples from Galovo and 8 samples from Zadubravlje have shown that the Linear A phase of the Starčevo culture lasted over an extended duration of about 1000 years: for Galovo we found the time span 6070 – 5000 cal BC and for Zadubravlje 6000 – 5050 cal BC. In Zadubravlje the oldest Neolithic well in Europe has been dated. Combined archaeological interpretation and 14C dating enabled determination of three phases of development of the Galovo settlement, which is the oldest settlement with strictly separated residential and ritual-burial areas.
