The chronological relationship between the Lasinja culture and the Furchenstich pottery culture in north-eastern Slovenia

Abstract

The article critically discusses interpretations based exclusively on the use of radiocarbon dates in Neolithic and Eneolithic studies in Slovenia.

A multidisciplinary approach is presented here – the chronological relationship between the Lasinja culture and the Furchenstich pottery culture is determined with the aid of the classical archaeological comparative method and radiocarbon dates from the Prekmurje region and at the eastern edges of the Slovenske gorice region. Radiocarbon dating confirms the results of the typological analysis. The results of radiocarbon dating reveal that in Prekmurje and eastern Slovenske gorice the Lasinja culture was a predecessor of the Furchenstich pottery culture. These two cultures did not exist simultaneously, therefore, dates of the samples from the earlier one do not coincide with the dates of the later one.

Keywords: north-eastern Slovenia, Lasinja culture, Furchenstich pottery culture, methodology, chronology, radiocarbon dating, finds analysis
