Discovering the Paleolithic Ayvalık
A Paleolithic Tale of Edremit Gulf
Edremit Gulf is a coastal region located in the northeastern Aegean. During the Pleistocene, it was transformed into a landmass when the sea level fell and subsequently divided into lakes and bays when the sea level rose. It is therefore important to emphasize the region’s significance in terms of Paleolithic archaeology. It allows east-west and north-south movements between Anatolia and Europe, with its high ecological value and the natural pass…
A Key Palaeolithic Site Bridging Anatolia and the Aegean
Biber Deresi is an open-air site located on the Assos/Behram, Çanakkale coast, associated with river systems and raw material sources. The site’s particular importance is owed to the discovery of the most extensive Lower and Middle Palaeolithic assemblage yet identified on the Aegean coast of Türkiye. The lithic assemblage is characterized by a significant number of large cutting tools, including handaxes, cleavers, and trihedral picks, as well a…
Transformation and Sustainability Within Levallois Reduction Strategy of Sürmecik, Western Anatolia/Aegean
Sürmecik, which today has the largest collection in Turkey with 86,246 lithics, is a Paleolithic open-air site located in Western Anatolia/Aegean discovered by chance approximately 5 m below the surface. This paper focuses on the Levallois flaking strategy (555 cores and 2627 endproducts). The material offers such a degree of diversity that certain opposites can clearly highlighted and cannot characterized as a single model of technical behavior.…
West Afyonkarahisar (Turkey) Palaeolithic Survey 2022, Field Methods and First Results
Afyonkarahisar is located at the crossroads of almost all main roads in the north-south and east-west directions in the west of Anatolia. This important area has never been subject to Palaeolithic research. In 2022, two separate teams started Palaeolithic surveys in this province. The survey in the western districts was carried out at observation points located every 10 km in the field, thus aiming to identify Palaeolithic sites in Afyonkarahisar…
The Paleolithic Quartz Assemblages of Denizli (South Aegean, Western Anatolia)
After the discovery of Homo erectus remains (circa 1.2 Ma) in Denizli, through examination of their surviving material culture, many sites containing lithics which could be attributed to Homo erectus have been located. It have revealed quartz assemblages in the parts of Denizli connected to the Menderes and Gediz Massif. The assemblages detected in Buldan and Güney associate with Mode 1 and Mode 2 techno-complexes. As the first systematic bipolar…
Lower and Middle Palaeolithic evidence from the North Aegean coastline of Çanakkale, Turkey
TheÇanakkale-Balıkesir Coastline Palaeolithic Survey Projectcovers the Çanakkale and Balıkesir coastlines of the Aegean. It aims to reveal Palaeolithic assemblages and their connection to the surrounding islands-primarily Lesbos. In 2021, four important findspots were detected on the Çanakkale coastline, and more than 500 lithics were uncovered, exhibiting the characteristics of large cutting tools, as well as pebble and prepared core technologie…
Tunceli İli Paleolitik Çağ Araştırmaları
Tunceli, arkeolojik kalıntılara sahip olduğu bilinmekle birlikte Keban projesinden bu yana sistematik araştırma yapılmamış bir bölgedir. 2015 yılında Dr. Yasemin YILMAZ başkanlığındaki bir ekip tarafından Tunceli’de başlatılan yüzey araştırmasıyla; arkeolojik kalıntıların Prehistorik Çağlardan Orta Çağ’a kadar uzanan zengin bir çeşitliliği barındırdığı belirlenmiştir. Özellikle Paleolitik Çağla ilgili yeni keşifler dikkat çekicidir. 2020 yılı sez…
