- Title
PALAEOBALKAN-WESTANATOLIAN COMMUNITY - EXPLANATION AND TERRITORIAL SCOPE.
- Authors
Portalsky, Alexandar
- Abstract
In this text the term Palaeobalkan-Westanatolian community is proposed to replace the other terms used: Thracian-Phrygian ethno-cultural community, the Pelasgo-Ihracian circumaegean community, Mycenaean Thrace, Circumpontic macro-zone and others. Adopting the existence ofthe Palaeobalkan-Westanatolian community makes it possible to avoid long introductions explaining why parallels between the Balkans and Western Anatolia are made. We scholars can compare political models, functions of the kings, religious doctrines, and interpretations of archaeological complexes, especially cult objects. Besides, information from the Greek literary tradition could be referred to surrounding, non-literary societies with a great deal of confidence. Using the spiral retrospection method, information about later historical periods could also be referred to earlier periods.
