Seskli

Seskli is a prehistoric settlement site located in Thessaly, Greece, dating back to the Neolithic period. The site is notable for being one of the earliest known agricultural settlements in Europe. Archaeological excavations at Sesklo have revealed evidence of sophisticated farming practices, permanent dwellings, and a developed social structure. The inhabitants of Sesklo cultivated crops such as wheat and barley, and raised domesticated animals like sheep, goats, and pigs. The settlement also features evidence of early pottery production and artistic expression. The "Sesklo culture" is often used to describe the Neolithic culture that flourished in Thessaly and other parts of Greece during this time, characterized by its distinct pottery style and agricultural way of life. The site provides valuable insights into the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities during the Neolithic Revolution.
