The origins and spread of farming are vital subjects of research, notably because
agriculture makes possible our modern world. The Early Farming in Dalmatia Project
is investigating the expansion of farming from its centre of origin in western Asia
through the Mediterranean into southern Europe. This multidisciplinary ecological
project combines comprehensive recovery of archaeological materials through excavation
with landscape studies. It addresses several key questions, including when and how
farming reached Dalmatia, what was the nature of this new economy, and what was its
impact on the local environment. Excavations at Danilo Bitinj and Pokrovnik have demonstrated
that their inhabitants were full-time farmers. The two sites were among the largest
known Neolithic villages in the eastern Adriatic. A comprehensive program of AMS dating
indicates that together they were occupied from c. 8,000 to 6,800 cal BP. Our research
has begun to illuminate the details of their farming system, as well as the changes
that took place in their way of life through the Neolithic. Their economy was derived
from western Asia and it is likely that their ancestors came from there also. It was
these people who brought agriculture and village life to the Adriatic and to the rest
of the central and western Mediterranean. Once in place, this farming economy persisted
in much the same form from the Neolithic down to the present
