The neolithic settlements extended all over greece , with the greatest concentration in the plain of thessaly , where the two most important settlements are located , sesklo and dimini. Neolithic period (7000 3000 bc) the first actual human structures in greece have been dated to around 6000 bc, structures, which were large and rectangular, were found near veria, at nea nikomedhia. these represented the oldest farming communities not only in greece, but in europe.

The neolithic settlements were scattered across the entire country with the greatest density being encountered in the plain of thessaly where the two most significant settlements are situated, sseko and dimini. The neolithic era starts in the beginning of the 7th millennium and is characterized by development of farming, stock breeding, extensive use of stone in construction, and craft specialization. The study of the neolithic period in greece was inaugurated with the archaeological investigations of chr. tsountas (1899 1906) in thessaly. these investigations included of the location of 63 neolithic sites and the excavation of certain settlements, such as sesklo, dimini, argissa etc. The middle neolithic period ended with some settlements being destroyed by fire. places like sesklo were abandoned, while others, like tsangli larisa, were quickly rebuilt.
