An Assesment of Middle Chalcolithic Pottery from the Kulaksızlar Excavations in Central-Western Anatolia

This study examines the pottery assemblage recovered from rescue excavations conducted in 2018 and 2019 at the prehistoric site of Kulaksızlar, which took its name from a synonymous village near the town of Akhisar in Manisa province. The site of Kulaksızlar is best known as a marble workshop concentrating on the production of Kilia Type figurines and conical vessels, both being hallmarks of the second half of the fifth millennium BC in western Anatolia. Kulaksızlar is a settlement that contributes to our knowledge of the Middle Chalcolithic period, which was poorly understood in the past. The pottery assemblage from two seasons of rescue excavations is important as its analysis allows us to place the site in its temporal and cultural context and helps us to understand the material world of the inhabitants of the site other than working with marble
