Sažetak
Research of ten sites of the Starčevo culture in the eastern
part of Croatia has been published. The Starčevo culture, in
the area of our research, existed from 6000 to 5100 B.C.
The sites are situated in an area of 1100 square km between
the towns Vinkovci and Slavonski Brod. The authors of the
research analysed technologies of agricultural production,
assessed the possibility of production volume thus estimating
the possible growth of population. Efficient technologies of
cereal crops and beef production were used. For a successful
and more extensive production of cereals and beef
woodland plant communities were needed. It has been concluded that the inhabitants were settlers because there
are no findings to prove a gradual development of
agricultural technologies. They cultivated emmer (Triticum
dicoccum), and einkorn (Triticum monococcum) and raised
already domesticated sheep, Palestine and Anatolia being
the places of domestication for emmer, einkorn and sheep.
From the area researched movement continued towards the
west of Croatia where linear-stripped ceramics could be
found, moving further again with the crops (emmer and
einkorn) and sheep raising, spreading all the way to the
Netherlands as well as Ukraine, while a faster movement
took place in the directions where there were woodland plant
communities to be found. The transformation from the
Starčevo to the Sopot culture, characterised by significant
social changes, could have quickened the pace of
emigration from southern and west Panonia.
