Summary
Its geographic position at the meeting point of Anatolia and the Balkans makes eastern Thrace indispensable for observing and correlating the processes that took place on either side of the Marmara Sea. This chapter will be an overview based on the results of excavations at Hoca Çeşme, Aşağı Pınar and Toptepe, all located in this critical contact zone and all providing the much needed evidence for an understanding of the changing patterns of cultural interaction between Anatolia and the Balkans through the late 7th millennium to the end of 6th millennium BC.
