Stone vessels generally appear in chronological order dating back to the Epipaleolithic period. Although several chronological and typological evaluations of vessels made of different types of stones have been made so far, there is little information about their production techniques. The focus of this study is the production of marble vessels as well as on some other finds of Ada Höyük, a settlement, which was investigated as part of the Uşak Protohistoric Period Survey Project (UPDAP). They are generally defined as grave goods or daily use objects according to their context. This article aims to date marble vessels from Ada Höyük through typological analogies and to assess their chaîne opératoire and production technology
