Neolithic (Young stone time) (6300 to 4200/4000 G. E.. etc. So far, 200 Neolithic sites have been recorded, and their number is due to favorable natural-geographical conditions, which enabled the intense life of these Pros-Tori. In Pelagonia, Velisko-Maternity cultural group, with four cultural stages. The most famous neighborhoods are: Velus Tumba, Tumba Materodin, Great and Little Tumba (village Thorn), Tumba Karamani, Vrjanian knocks, knocks Topolcani, high hill, etc. The main features of the group are settlements-Tumbi, with quadrangular basics, built of wood and mud, with straw roofs, two waters. Characteristic is the luxurious red ceramics (bowls, amphores, lids) with white painted ornaments (crescents, sigmas, broken corners, points, etc.). Great ceramics is decorated with barbin stickers. In Neolithic, the cult of the Great Mother was nurtured, which is reflected in anthropomorphic plastic (representations of a woman, a chematized human face mask of cylinders, etc.), and from zoomorphic plastics are characteristic representations of bull, turtle, deer, naul, nuts . From Pelagonia, neolithization spreads to the north and covers Gornarar-anthropomorphic representation anthropomorphic performance, cult coffee table, p. Governevo ceramic idol, v. Zelenikovo on a ceramic container, p. Damjan Tumba, p. Madzari Dural region, Ovce Pole, Bregalnica and the Valley of Central Struma. Here Anzabegovo Cultural Group was formed, with four internal stages of early late Neolith. Famous sites are: Carrotnica (village Anzabegovo), Vrtovnik (village Tarinci), Tumba Madzari, Slatina (village Zelenikovo), Cerje (village Governevo), Tumbo (s. Stanche), Damjan, Source (village cup) etc. Characteristic of the oldest phase of this group is white painted ceramics (small plates of shallow legs and ticred vessels). In the middle neolithic ceramics (usually amphora, cups, etc.) are a brown color. The rough ceramics consists of pots, pitos and plates of varying size, often decorated with barbotin. The cult of the Great Mother (Tumba Madzari and Government), and a variety of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic cult plastic is discovered. Ceramics in the late Neolith is well-smoothed, has a high black glow, and the Ces is involved. In the early stages, the Neolithic in Macedonia has cultural and chronological ties with the Seshclo-culture in Thessaly, in the middle Neolithic with the Starbal culture, and in the late with Winchanski and other cultural groups.
