Issues relating to the dynamics and structure of the Early Neolithic (6200–5300 calBC) Starčevo settlements in the central Balkans region are not well known. Starčevo-culture settlements are usually single-phase sites dominated by pit features, which leads most researchers to believe that they represented short-lived hamlets occupied for only a few years or a few decades at most. In this paper, we explore funerary and radiocarbon evidence relevant to the issues of occupation continuity and duration. The results show that Starčevo settlements were used/reused for long periods of time (centuries), although it is not possible to say at present whether this occupation was continuous.
