Abstract: The Middle Neolithic site Danilo Bitinj was excavated in 2004 and 2005, as part of an interdisciplinary project Early Farming in Dalmatia.The aim of the project is to investigate the spread of farming from western Asia to Mediterranean Europe and its further development, using a regional approach (Central Dalmatia).Besides archaeological excavation, this also includes geomorphological, botanical, zoological, malacological and ethnological investigations.Preliminary results show that the Neolithic inhabitants of the Danilo valley lived in a complex village and were practicing full-time farming. AIMS OF THE RESEARCHThe Early Farming in Dalmatia project is investigating the spread of agriculture from western Asia to Mediterranean Europe and the subsequent development of this new way of life there.We seek greater understanding of these vital processes because they are an important example of how farming expanded from a major centre of inception to the mid latitudes of the rest of the Old World.The coming of agriculture established the economic and social foundations for all later A.
