Village Life During the Late Neolithic in the Central Balkans: Lluga 2025
Zhaneta Gjyshja, PhD Candidate in the Department of Anthropology
The Neolithic period marked a significant transition in human history, characterized by the emergence of permanent agricultural settlements and the development of new social structures. This presentation explores the daily lives of Neolithic villagers in the Central Balkans, emphasizing household activities, craft production, and social organization. Based on 2025 fieldwork at the Late Neolithic village of Lluga, Kosova, we present findings on village layout and household economic activities. Our team excavated domestic and communal areas, analyzing craft production, artifact distribution, and activity patterns to understand better economic practices, social dynamics, and community structure.
