Long beforc these events I had a special aflnity with the early wlrite painting olthe Neolithic ofthe centralBalkans. Il had enchanted me for its diversity ofcombinations, mixtue oflinear and curvilinear nrotifs. but alsofof the f'act that it avoids a cohereni systematization, so much preGned among fellorv archaeologists. I! alsotumed out lo be rather difficult to verbalize the content ofthis elaborately painted pottery.
The two pots shown here, different in size, shape and decoration. with one in white painting from Gjannitsa(fig. I ) (C HRrsosroN,lou. I 994) and ihe other painted red on bufl-from Kuruqay (fig. 2) (Du RU, I 994). more thana thousand kilometres away, helped me comprehend that neilher the colour ofthe omanlent, nor the shape ofpot or the motifitsell but the way ofthinkirg and appreciation ot'geometrical folms, inherent in both pieceswas the '/i/ r?rge which cou ld link the entire phase of Early Neo lithic in both rcgion s.
h the vastregioD ofthe Balkans speckled with sites ofthe EarlyNeolilhic which have a sinilar omamentalsystem structure in painted pottery str€tching ftom Podgode,Albania iD the south-west io Kovaaevo, Bulgaria inthe eastand fiom Giannitsa in the south up to Donja Branjevina in the north, atendency 10 represent geometricalmotili can ascertained. The squarc, which occurs on a nLlmber ofpots in the Balkans and southem Analolia,is perhaps the most striking ofall. But there are motjust squares depicted on po$ery. Along with them, 'steps-shaped'motifs, straight lines, nets, rriangles. wavy lines and leaf-shaped motifs are also common.

Only few pots $,ith apparent sqLlares irave been discovered in the Balkans so far. which is probably lhereason they have not been recogDised earlier as crucial for the Lmderstanding the Early Neolithic ornamentalsyslem. The Giannitsa findings. discovered irr l99l bave been mentioned above. Along with those thereare liagments ofpotlery discovered in Nea Nikomedeia (fig.3, nos.9. 12, l5; YtouNt. 1996) where wecan see an identical disposilion of'rertical and diagonal lines that resemble the one from Giannitsa. FronthesiteofKovaaevothefeisoneliagment(fig.3.n. l4)decoraledinthesamenanner(PERNraEVA, l995).However, there are many more poltery fiagments with diagonal lines (straight, wavy or zigzag), whichcan be reconstructed to form the square disposition. 1t is ll1y belief that simple diagonal lines stand for thesquare in later phases of the Early and Middle Neolithic (e.g. Kovaaevo: fig. 3, n. l1 or Nea Nikomedeiafig. 3. n. l5). But squares can be fbund on different types ofobjects as well, suclr as house models, altarsand censers. and they arc aLways associated with a circle and/or diagonals, The sqLlare as a concept canbe traced all the \\,ay to dre sites of the Lakc Diskict in Weslern Anatolia, like Kuruqay H6yiik or Haailar(MILLAART. 1970; D!RU, 1994; I999). At these sites we can see identical treatment ofmetopes. related tothe circumference olthe rim ofthe pot. Sometimes the calculations become even more complicated andthe metope is divided into 4 smallef ones. There are also vertical lines between metopes, with the identicalrole ofconpensating fbf the even distribution ofsquares around the pot (examples from Hagilar: MELAART,
1965; DLrRLr, 1999; fig.3, n.2).However. along \\,ith quadrates and lectangular metopes, a strict geometical disposition can be also obsen,ed
in the propoftions olan ascoid vessel fiom Hdyiicek, but also in the disposition ofa reclining female figurine(DURU. lg99: figs. 21.22). The square appears also on a miniature table lrom the same site.As we can see fromthe chronological table lor the Lake District (DuR!. 1999) the sites of this region are somewhat earlier thanthe Early Neolithic sites in the Balkans, so it appears that this tradition must have originated in their primaryinhabitation zone. ThebackgrouDd fbrgeometry hasbeen probably setwith theaccumulated bui lding traditionsof early settled communities ofAnatolia. The masterpieces ofarchitectuue discovered at A$ykli Hijytik, Cafer

Since therc are lnorc cxanrples flom the sane period Epfcscnling an identicalstrategy (fig.3)we could agree drat $is is dellDitelv not a ulcr! coincidence. In ordcrto achieve such a decorationon a pot one would havc ro bc well aware olthe basics ol geonrell].
ln order to derronstrate the complexily ofthis Na)' ot.thinking I shall present one ofthe approaches ro\\'ardssol\ing the legenda8 nrathcnlatical problen ofsquaring lhc circle. ltthecircle wirh the radius I is rotated alongthe surllce fbr l80 thelincbetNeenpointsAandB\\illcqualDuDrberfl-Ifwedra\thesemicircleNiththeI?diusAC=AB+landcltcndthemdiusoftheighlcircleunlilitbisec(sthesenricirclcalapoinlDthenwc\rilllh s obtain tbllowiDg equation ABXBC-BD: \hich \lould soh'e the problem ofthe squaring ofa circle sinceAB=nandBC=l. The bizarre l'act is that the pol fiont Ciannitsa showt at figure I hasa m identical tothecircle of dianrelef AC. the dimersions oflhe nreropes arc idcntical to the square pr.oduced above ond the baseofthe pot identicnl rc thc cifcle u,ith the radius l.
It is quite cleaf lhal Neolithic potters rvere not awafc ol lhis dilennna in the lorm quoted abovc. aDd did notdecide on tbe hejght ofthe decofation because ofsome abstmct geomefical problent. On the othef hand, i1 isevident that the ancicnt potlels ust have had a seious prob lenr when anemptiog to pa int thc squafe rvith the s idcequal Io the radius olthc por without haying an entpty space bet\rcen the squares or metopes. This dispositionsould probably not deserve such attention ifthe circle (in lhesc e\amples detennined by the diDension ofthefi|n ofa !essel) wAs to bc divided in.l. 8 or 16. ln the cases oiCiannirsa.

It scens that the decoralion has been left untinished. as
if the potler was caught hallway through in laying outthc gid fbr fiiezes ol'lriangles. The shape of the potis rlso nol standald tbr this period but makes it easier
tbr thc potter to pr?clicc lhis complicated calculation.Futher exanples of identical geometrical ideas can be

But whf did ancicnl polters decide to promotegeonletry as a srandafd fbf decoration ol their display

is praising the idea ofdomrs and the settled way oflife. The power ofthis idea, visualized throlLgh squares!circles and geometry is evident in the fact that it was dispened across continents and sustained therc for a longtime. Recorded on potteryof the two rcgions we have an ideological system, which explains how far in abstractthinking those people rcached. It is also shows an awareness that this way ofthinking made them prosperous.
It is probably unwise to expect that the prcof fbr cultural links among the populations ofthe Balkans andAnatolia would emanate mer€ly through idenlical colour used to paint a pot, or in a prelelence lowards apafticularlype ofinclusion in the clay or in the shape ofa pot. On the other hand the way ofthinking that could have lainbehindthe g€omefy on the pottery as I have tried to demonstrate above, can be confirmed in contemporaneousalclraeological sites more than alhousand kilometres apart. This speaks in favourofthe existence ofa commoncultural and ideological sphere. Being utterly abstract, this complex and elaborate ideological schene prcbablycould not be transferred by a means other than narrative, which indicales that proficient verbal and symboliccommunication must have existed among these communtttes.
