9 And Eneolithic In Friuli

V zadnjih letih so nam ponovno preučevanje starih najdb, nekaj slučajnih odkritij in nedavna izkopavanja
omogočili prenovljen vpogled v najmlajše faze neolitika in eneolitika v Furlaniji. Obsežni podatki, ki so nam
na voljo, nam za enkrat še ne omogočajo, da bi predstavili celovito sliko, vendar prikazujejo obsežno obmo-
čje poselitve, ki ga v poznem neolitiku zaznamujejo padanski kulturni vplivi, medtem ko se v času eneolitika
pojavijo značilni znaki povezav s čez alpskim in še posebej z balkanskim svetom.
Ključne besede: pozni neolitik, eneolitik, naselbinska tipologija, keramika, industrija kamnitih odbitkov-
nih orodij, industrija glajenih orodij, kovinske najdbe, poselitev, kulturni vplivi
In the last years, the re-examination of old finds, some casual discoveries and recent excavation works
allowed us to update our knowledge on the latest phases of the Neolithic and Eneolithic in Friuli. The
increasing data at our disposal do not allow to present an organic picture yet, but it depicts a vast occu-
pation area characterised during the Late Neolithic by a Padan cultural influence, whilst during the
Eneolithic significant signs of connections with the transalpine and especially the Balkan worlds have
emerged.
Keywords: Late Neolithic, Eneolithic, settlement typologies, pottery, chipped lithic industry, polished
lithic industry, metal artefacts, occupation, cultural influences
In the last years, the re-examination of old
finds, some casual discoveries and recent are data available for the last phases of the Eneo-
