In all NMR measurements CDCl 3 was used as a solvent. Elemental analyses were performed by the Service de Microanalyses of the Centre d'Etudes Pharmaceutiques, Châtenay-Malabry. The diastereoselectivities were determined by 19 F NMR and GC. Allylation reaction with magnesium N-Benzyl-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-penten-2-amine 3a To a solution of imine 1 (187 mg, 1.0 mmol) and allyl bromide 2a (181 mg, 1.5 mmol) in ether was added successively magnesium turning (36 mg, 1.5 mmol) and 2 drops of TMSCl at room temperature. After 45 min of stirring, the reaction was quenched with a saturated aqueous NH 4 Cl solution (15 mL). The mixture was extracted with ether (2 x 20 mL), dried

The greek-bulgarian border separates the location in two sectors: Sector Topolnica in Bulgaria and sector Promachon in Greece. Archaological excavations took place in sector Topolnica within the years 1980-1991, in sector Promachon within 1992-2003. Geophysical surveys were curried out 1995, 1996 and 2002 in sector Promachon and 2010, 2011 in sector Topolnica. Two methods were employed: Geomagnetic and Geoelectric with a Vertical Electric Probing (VES). Burned settlement structures have been investigated, as well as the culture deposits of 5 occupations levels and the kind of the geological sub-structure. Structures of the two upper archaeological levels extend on the whole excavated area, they have irregular forms and offer a distribution picture like a mosaic. Near trenches two strata draw themselves considerably, which were verified also by ...

In the region of Middle and Lower Struma/Strimon establish culture Topolnica-Akropotamos. Its appearance changes radically the appearance of the area and structure of Neolithic habitation system during this period consists of numerous large settlements along the plateaus along the rivers. These concerns and the settlement Promachon-Topolnica. The study is of utmost importance to the prehistory of the Balkans. It's about eponyms object given the name of the late Neolithic culture Topolnica-Akropotamos. The article presents the results of the study of decorated ceramics, as is the focus of bitumen (type Topolnica), black on red pottery (type Strumsko and Akropotamos). Stratigraphy of the neolithic Promachon-Topolnica change current ideas about the development of this type of decoration.One of the important discoveries made in Promachon-Topolnica is the finding of the earliest in the Balkans graphite drawing. The inspection revealed a genetic link between dark picture "type Strumsko" wide and graphite drawings, which proved to be synchronous. Terms were not only ornamental their schemes, but also ceramic forms. This discovery also changes the traditional view that the homeland of graphite decoration of ceramics is Thrace. This fact is confirmed by our observations on the earlier vessels late Neolithic Graphitized surface of the object Promachon-Topolnica that allowed to trace the process of occurrence of graphite drawing that is near the Middle Struma/Strimon. It is noteworthy that the complex Kaloyanovets (Karanovo IV) in Thrace, a synchronous Topolnica-Akropotamos (Late Neolithic) graphitized vessels are completely unknown.Overall we can say that in the region of Middle and Lower Struma culture Topolnica-Akropotamos having a decorative canon, which is maintained after the sunset. Thus, this interesting culture leaves its imprint in the form of influences and technical innovation on large parts of Southeast Europe.

Promachon-Topolnica is the Bulgarian-Greek border. Survey results are a good example is the scientific cooperation among the Bulgarian and Greek archaeologists. The village is famous for the study of a large dug into the earth temple bull. Here for the first time using graphite as a technology to decorate pottery. This is a tradition from earlier Graphitized black topped technology vessels.

Das geomorphologische Bild eines Gebietes spielt ohne Zweifel eine entscheidende Rolle in der wirtschaftlichen und der kulturellen Entwicklung seiner Einwohnerschaft. Freilich läßt sich dies am deutlichsten in der prähistorischen Zeit erkennen, als der Mensch in noch engerer Verbindung mit der Natur und den Naturereignissen stand. Das Siedlungswesen, die Wirtschaft und die sozialökonomische Entwicklung unterlagen dem starken Einfluß der obengenannten Faktoren. In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, ob und wie stark die geomorphologische Lage Zentralmakedoniens auf seine kulturelle Entwicklung wirkt und ob sich dies in den archäologischen Funden und Befunden erkennen läßt.* Den Anlaß für ein...

Jahrtausends. Deshalb darf man sie nicht übersehen, wenn man die Siedlungsstruktur dieser Zeit in Griechenland untersuchen will. Angesichts dieser wichtigen Stellung und neuer Forschungsergebnisse bedarf das Siedlungsbild von Dimini nach Meinung des Verfassers einer Revision. Die zeitliche Stellung und die Funktion der Mauerringe wurden bereits in einigen Arbeiten (ASLANIS 1993a, 133 ff.; ASLANIS 1990a, 183 ff.; ASLANIS 1990b, 19 ff.) behandelt. Deshalb dürfen die vorliegenden Ausführungen als eine Fortsetzung dieser Diskussion gelten. Dimini wurde nahe der Stadt Volos in Thessalien von H.G. Lolling lokalisiert (LOLLING 1884, 99 ff.) und von dem Archäologen V. Stais 1901 fast völlig freigelegt (Abb. 1). Zwei Jahre später setzte Ch. Tsountas die Grabung fort und verbesserte den Siedlungsplan (TSOUNTAS 1908, 28) (Abb. 2). Nach sei...

For this, recent excavation data will be drawn mainly from the Greek-Bulgarian excavation at Tell Yunatsite in Bulgaria. The first part of the paper offers a definition of a fortification, its necessity, its possible form and its earliest appearance. Tell Yunatsite represents one of the various fortified forms of Southeast Europe, consisting of an earthen wall und a ditch, which encircled the densely built settlement. The second part of the paper discusses what a “tell” (or “toumba” or “tepe”) is and when its formation began. The settlement of Yunatsite allows a distinction to be made between two types of tells: tell-formed settlements, which began on the flat land and were fortified, and tell-founded settlements, which were established on top of abandoned Chalcolithic sites and began as already elevated settlements. The first type appears mainly during the Chalcolithic period, but also in the beginning of Early Bronze Age, while the second type emerges only at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age.

Vpriebehu vyvojafäzy Dimini je uzemie zapadného Macedónska pod silnym kulturnym vplyvom ζ Thesalie. Sidliska s mal'ovanou keramikou stylu Dimini sa koncentruju ν okoli priesmykov kvôli kontrole cestnych spojov. Prechod k postdiminskej faze (faza Rachmani ν Thesalii) prebieha kontinualne a ai pocas nasledujuceho obdobia su sidliska ζ rôznych dôvodov opust'ané. Dank einer Rettungsgrabung in der prähistorischen Siedlung Agrosykia, nahe der antiken Stadt Pella, und mit Hilfe der noch nicht ausfuhrlich publizierten Ergebnisse der Grabungen in Mandalo und Mégalo Nisi Galanis war es möglich, die stratigraphische Abfolge des späten Neolithikums und des beginnenden Chalkolithikums zu verfolgen. Während der diminizeitlichen Phase steht das Gebiet Westmakedoniens unter dem starken kulturellen Einfluß Thessaliens. Die Siedlungen mit bemalter Keramik der Dimini-Art konzentrieren sich an Pässen, um die Kommunikationswege zu kontrollieren. Der Übergang zur nachdiminizeitlichen Phase (Rachmani-Phase in Thessalien) verläuft kontinuierlich, und erst danach werden die Siedlungen aus verschiedenen Gründen verlassen. Thanks to rescue excavations at the prehistoric settlement of Agrosykia, near the ancient city of Pella, and following a preliminary, not yet completely published, analysis of the results from excavations in Mandalo and Mégalo Nisi Galanis, there is now a complete stratigraphie series for the Late Neolithic through Early Chalcolithic periods. During the Dimini phase Western Macedonia fell under the strong cultural influence ofThessaly. The settlements with Dimini style painted pottery were concentrated around mountain passes in order to control communication routes. Settlement during the transition to the post-Dimini phase (the Rachmani phase in Thessaly) is continuous, with the abandonment of the settlements for various reasons occurring later.
