A Little About PIPP...
The Prehistoric Interactions on the Plain Project (PIPP) is a multidisciplinary, international, collaborative project in southeastern Hungary (check out the People tab to find out who is participating on the project). Building on a consortium of other projects in the region, including the Körös Regional Archaeological Project, the Bronze Age Körös Off-Tell Archaeology, the Neolithic Archaeology and Soilscapes Körös Area, and the Copper Age Settlement Project, PIPP expands the regional focus to the north, beyond the Körös River Basin into the Berettyó River Basin (check out Related Projects).
A LITTLE MORE About PIPP...
In the Late Neolithic period (ca. 5,000 - 4,500 BCE), three archaeological cultural units were located across the plain. This is often referred to as the Csőszhalom-Herpály-Tisza complex. PIPP focuses on the latter two cultural units, and the team is working to reconstruct interactions between people living at these sites from a multi-scalar perspective.
The overarching goal of the project is to model socio-cultural variation in the past. Beginning in 2013, PIPP began investigating different aspects of prehistoric interactions and the development of social complexity. The team, led by Dr. Danielle Riebe, is utilizing innovative technologies to advance the research agenda (see Other PIPP Research).
PIPP has received generous support from a number of institutions and granting agencies (see Project Sponsors below). In 2018, PIPP was awarded a senior NSF grant (BCS-1827362) that will allow the team to conduct research at the Herpály tell-centered settlement complex of Csökmő-Káposztás-domb through 2021 (see Research section for more details about past and present aspects of the project).
