The lowest levels at Dikili Tash, northern Greece: A missing link in the Early Neolithic of Europe

Famously capture the historical sequences of the earliest farmers - but digging them is not easy. With a depth of strata of 17m at Dikili Tash, the earliest occupation was out of reach of a trench. But our researchers got there by coring, extending the date of the first occupation back 1000 years, and deducing, from small samples, the changing environment and possible connections with Anatolia. © Antiquity Publications Ltd
