Before the invention of writing and the first cities of Mesopotamia and Egypt were established in 4500BC, 'Old Europe' was among the most technologically advanced and sophisticated places in the world. At the heart of the region were the fertile valleys of the Danube River, where Neolithic farmers established long-lasting settlements upon agriculturally rich plains. The exhibition comprises more than 250 objects made during a 1500 year period of great sophistication, creativity abd technological advance in southeast Europe between 5000 and 3500BC" http://www.ashmolean.org/exhibitions/current/?timing=current&id=50&exhibitionYear=2010 Supported by the Leon Levy Foundation. |
