Aşağı Pınar is a multi-layered settlement on the southeast edge of the provincial capital Kırklareli in Eastern Thrace , Turkey .

The material culture of the place of discovery shows European and Anatolian elements and is there for the period from 6,200 to 4,750 BC. Chr. Understandable. The youngest strata belong to the Anatolian Early Chalcolithic, which corresponds to the Middle and Late Neolithic in the Balkans, the oldest to the Southeast European Early Neolithic (or late Neolithic in northwestern Anatolia).

Above it was a layer in which several rooms were arranged in a semicircle around a source. In terms of their clay wickerwork , they are comparable to Ilıpınar , while the painted ceramics are reminiscent of the Karanovo II culture . However, there are also incised and stamped ceramics with parallels in Can Hasan .

The transition to the next layer is characterized in Europe as the transition to the Vinča culture . Since Aşağı Pınar has both their characteristic black ceramics and the ceramics of the previous Karanovo I / II - Sesklo - Starčevo ceramics, it becomes clear that this cultural change took place only gradually. From then on, the Anatolian elements in Aşağı Pınar were increasingly ousted by Europeans.
