The archaeological studies in the Black Sea Region of Turkey have long been neglected in comparison to other regions in the country. Despite increasing numbers of excavations and surveys regarding the post-prehistoric period, the prehistoric cultural heritage of the region is still not widely known in the archaeological world. Having said that, the Tekkeköy-A Shelter excavation conducted by İ.K.Kökten in the 1940s is one of the oldest archaeological research attempts in the region. Owing to Kökten's archive and chipped stone collection in the Prehistoric Archaeology Laboratory at Ankara University, we have obtained new information about his studies on Tekkeköy. The Tekkeköy-A chipped stone collection is a group of unique finds for the Anatolian Black Sea. This study primarily focuses on the limited number of chipped stones uncovered from the Kökten archive and the Tekkeköy-A Shelter excavation, and the limited number of Black Sea finds
