Is There an Anatolian Mesolithic? An Assessment of the New Evidence from Western Türkiye
Prehistoric research of Anatolia traditionally excludes the nomenclature “Mesolithic” from its chronological schemes, presuming that there was a swift transition from the Epipaleolithic into the Neolithic period without a window for a Mesolithic facies. This article will reassess this traditional view and argue that the Anatolian landmass is geographically too large and ecologically too variable to propose a homogeneous and linear trajectory for …
Kababurun
The Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age (EBA) 1 are dynamic prehistoric eras, encapsulating crucial political, social and economic developments in western Anatolia and the adjacent regions. Although recent fieldwork and synthesis on this transition in western Turkey provide a general framework for this important transitional period, we still lack a holistic understanding of settlement types, subsistence patterns and socio-economic interaction …

Traction in Neolithic Çatalhöyük? Palaeopathological analysis of cattle and aurochs remains from the East and West Mounds
Cattle traction was a technological innovation that made a significant impact on production, individual and household wealth, and social organisation. Despite ongoing debates regarding the origins and extent of the harnessing of cattle power among early agropastoral societies, only a few studies have attempted at addressing this matter systematically. In Neolithic Çatalhöyük, several studies have explored the symbolism and domestication of auroch…
Two Possible Upper Paleolithic Sites on the Karaburun Peninsula, Turkey
Between Anatolia and the Aegean
The Epipalaeolithic and Mesolithic periods of Turkey are poorly understood. The discovery of two sites (Kocaman and Kayadibi) in the Karaburun Peninsula in coastal western Turkey opens a whole new window into our understanding of these periods in Turkey and beyond by providing the first solid evidence for pre-Neolithic foragers. This article presents typological and technological properties of the lithics from these two open-air sites in terms of…
Contextualizing Karaburun A New Area for Neolithic Research in Anatolia
Recent surveys led by the author in Karaburun Peninsula discovered multiple prehistoric sites. This article introduces one of the Neolithic sites called Kömür Burnu in this marginal zone of coastal western Anatolia. The site offered various advantages to early farmer-herders including freshwater and basalt sources as well as proximity to agricultural lands, forested areas and marine resources. The plain slipped pottery from the site suggests a da…
A Lower Paleolithic assemblage from western Anatolia
In 2005 the Central Lydia Archaeological Survey (CLAS) identified an open-air Lower Paleolithic site called Bozyer near Lake Marmara in the province of Manisa, Turkey. Intensive survey of Bozyer in 2008 resulted in collection of over 300 stone tools. Subsequent systematic analysis attributed 189 of these lithics to a Lower Paleolithic industry. The assemblage is characterized by flakes and retouched flake tools, many of which were produced with t…

A possible Late Pleistocene forager site from the Karaburun Peninsula, western Turkey
The 'Karaburun Archaeological Survey' project aims to illuminate the lifeways of Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene foragers in western Anatolia. A recently discovered, lithic-rich site on the Karaburun Peninsula offers new insights into a currently undocumented period of western Anatolian prehistory
Early farmers from across Europe directly descended from Neolithic Aegeans
Significance One of the most enduring and widely debated questions in prehistoric archaeology concerns the origins of Europe’s earliest farmers: Were they the descendants of local hunter-gatherers, or did they migrate from southwestern Asia, where farming began? We recover genome-wide DNA sequences from early farmers on both the European and Asian sides of the Aegean to reveal an unbroken chain of ancestry leading from central and southwestern Eu…
New Palaeolithic and Mesolithic sites in the eastern Aegean
Despite ongoing fieldwork focusing on the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods of the Aegean, the eastern part of this region, especially western Turkey, remains almost entirely unexplored in terms of early prehistory. There is virtually no evidence from this area that can contribute to broader research themes such as the dispersal of early hominins, the distribution of Early Holocene foragers and early forager-farmer interactions. The primary aim…

© Trustees of Boston University 2015. Diachronic survey in the Marmara Lake basin of western Turkey confirms long-term settlement activity from the 5th millennium B.C. to the present. Here we present the results from a study of ceramics and settlement distribution pertaining to the Chalcolithic through the Iron Age periods (ca. 5th/4th'1st millennium B.C.). Our dataset confirms the value of a multi-pronged approach when establishing ceramic typol…
Towards configuring the neolithisation of Aegean Turkey
Increasing field work in the ̇Izmir region has produced much sought tangible evidence about the ways in which food-producing communities emerged in the Aegean. Focusing on the archaeological and zooarchaeological data from Ulucak and neighboring sites, the authors discuss the possible mechanisms of initial farmer-herder dispersals into the region. The authors stress that the lack of pre-Neolithic strata in the eastern Aegean impedes a full unders…
Ege'de Neoli̇ti̇k Dönem İçi̇nde Görülen Baski Bezekli̇ Çanak Çömlek Ve Doğu Akdeni̇z'deki̇ Deni̇z Yollari
Archaeological data show that in the Eastem Mediterranean impressed pottery appears at the end of the Neolithic Period and disappears with the emergence ofHalafian elements.Recently it became evident that this type of pottery appeared simultaneously on either side of the Aegean by 6100-6000 BC. As it has been previously noted by Perlbs and Ozdogan, there are a number of common traits shared among the early farming communities of the Eastern Medi…
Of Stamps, Loom Weights and Spindle Whorls
This study discusses the function(s) of Neolithic stamps and their designs by using two different lines of evidence. The function of the artifact itself is considered by using contextual information from the Neolithic site of Ulucak Höyük, located in the vicinity of I?zmir in western Turkey. It will be argued that the co-occurrence of stamps with objects related to textilemanufacturing—e.g. bone needles, spindle whorls and loom weights—at Ulucak …

"The concept of "Neolithic package
In this paper, one of the most frequently used terms in Neolithic studies, e.g. the so-called "Neolithic package", will be discussed. Apart from providing a brief historical background of the term and how it was used since the 80's, the text will concentrate on a plausible definition and the possible contents of the package which can be observed as a common set of objects in Southwest Asia, Anatolia and Southeast Europe. It will be argued that th…
