Neolithic elsewhere
Greek hunting & wild resources limited in Neolithic
mostly agro-pastoral
Dimini and Sesklo had fort-like architecture with a central megaron opening onto a courtyard
so did EBA western Anatolia (Troy etc)
Knossos had some Melian obsidian from the very beginning
complex handles and rims in the earliest pottery
some think this means pottery technology was imported wholesale from outside the island, but could be imitation of other media
weaving industry Early Neolithic II
colonization of Cyclades late and gradual
Saliagos only site with a NL farming settlement
others were only temporary camping spots
colonization of Cyclades maybe connected with introduction of large tuna to the rest of the Aegean, but not with exploitation of Melian obsidian, which is way earlier
Kephala has terracotta figurines (3300-3200) that may have been forerunners of Cycladic figurines (3200-2000)
