Archaeological horizon of Neolithic Southeastern Europe
The First Temperate Neolithic (FTN) is an
archaeological horizon consisting of the earliest
archaeological cultures of
Neolithic
Southeastern Europe , dated to c. 6400–5100
BCE .
[1] The cultures of the FTN were the first to practice
agriculture in
temperate

mediterranean climate .

The constituent cultures of the FTN are:
