Finds of Balkan and Anatolia Origin in the Neolithic of the Theopetra Cave (Thessaly, Greece).

Among the finds of the Neolithic deposit of the Theopetra Cave in Thessaly (Central Greece), some are definitely not known from previous excavations in the same area, or they are sparse finds in settlements mainly from Northern Greece, which may be considered as a result of long distance connections. Among such finds are a gold ring-idol, a figurine, a stone pendant with zig-zag incisions and some pottery sherds of uncommon shapes. At the same time certain white on red painted pottery finds parallels in other sites of Thessaly, Northern Greece as well as in the Balkans and Turkey.

These finds, apart from being indicative of long distance connections, also pose a problem concerning the character of this cave during the Neolithic of the Thessalian Plain, where a good number of excavated open air settlements have not produced for the moment similar finds.
