The Neolithic period of southern Turkmenistan, Central Asia is the
primary focus of this study. During the Neolithic, southern
Turkmenia was inhabited by two main groups living in two discrete
ecological environmental zones: the Jeitun Culture of the southern
super-zone and the Keltiminar Culture of the northern super-zone.
In this study, Chapters 1-3 provide the background critical to an
accurate understanding of the typological and petrographic case
studies, the insight those studies can provide to our knowledge of
the structure of the Jeitun and Keltiminar Neolithic adaptations,
and the notion of prehistoric Turkmenia as an archaeological border
zone. The ceramic assemblages for the petrographic case study are
initially introduced in the context of ceramic typology (Chapter
4), and subsequently in terms of general petrography (Chapter 5)
and the Kopet Dag case study (Chapter 6). Finally, Chapter 7
represents a synthesis and interpretation of the data and results
from Chapters 4 and 6. This synthesis and interpretation serves as
a precursor to a final discussion of contrasts, comparisons, and
possibilities for future research in the region (Chapter 8).
