“…A possible fourth manufacturing stage consists of smoothing the interior and exterior surfaces. A smooth finish can be achieved by rubbing with fine-grained sandstones as was observed at a modern Egyptian alabaster vase workshop (Hester and Heizer 1981, 20) and as replicated by Takaoǧlu (2005, 32) in an experimental context. It is unclear if the Franchthi vases went through a fourth manufacturing stage.…”

“…Two points are in order here. (a) The beakers represent the westernmost examples of a type known from sites in Anatolia, including Kulaksizlar, where such vases were produced in substantial quantities (Takaoǧlu 2002; 2005, 14; T. Takaoǧlu, pers. comm.).…”

“…It was at this stage that lugs/knobs (when part of the design) were roughly formed. In an experimental replication, which entailed coarsely shaping a marble bowl and a beaker, Takaoǧlu (2005, 28–9, 33) first employed spherical and elongated gabbro and basalt tools to remove large flakes, then split these tools into pieces to obtain pointed ends suitable for pecking.…”

“…A solid drill may consist of a wooden stick with an attached stone borer or a wooden rod. Crescent- and cone-shaped sandstone borers were found at the Kulaksizlar workshop, and a hollowing process involving such devices was experimentally tested by Takaoǧlu (2005, 29–33). The use of a drill in the form of a wooden rod, on the other hand, was hypothesised by Morero and her colleagues on the basis of manufacturing traces preserved on some Minoan vases.…”

Mending Fragments: Stone Vessels From Franchthi and Other Greek Neolithic Sites

Stone vessels represent one of the rarest artifactual categories of Neolithic Greece. Only several dozen specimens (mostly fragmentary) have been recovered from 65 sites. These objects are also some of the least studied; with few exceptions, they are known only through superficial reports. Thus, their potential to shed light on social and economic aspects of Neolithic life remains unexploited. In this article, I address this problem in two ways. First, I focus on a specific stone vase assemblage: that from the well-known site of Franchthi in the north-eastern Peloponnese. This is one of the largest assemblages and is presented here in detail. Secondly, I use the Franchthi assemblage as a point of departure to attempt a synthesis of the available information on Greek Neolithic stone vases.

Akhisar (Manisa), Karahöyük Dağı Çevresinde Yeni Bir Erken Yerleşim: Kocanadas

Karahöyük Dağı Manisa ili, Akhisar ilçe sınırları içerisinde yer almaktadır. Söz konusu alanda 2016-2018 yılları arasında gerçekleştirilen yüzey araştırması çalışmaları sırasında bölgenin erken dönem iskanı konusunda önemli buluntulara ulaşılmıştır. Kocanadas Mevkii'nde yer alan höyük bu açıdan oldukça önemlidir. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda höyüğün Geç Neolitik Çağ'dan Osmanlı Dönemi'ne kadar iskan gördüğü buluntular ışığında anlaşılmaktadır. Geçmiş yıllarda yapılan araştırmalar sonucunda Manisa il sınırları içerisinde 11 merkezde Geç Neolitik Çağ buluntusu tespit edilmiştir. Kocanadas Mevkii'nde tespit edilen seramik buluntularıyla birlikte bu sayı 12'ye çıkmıştır. Seramik buluntuları ışığında Kocanadas Mevkii'nde yer alan höyükte Geç Neolitik-Erken Kalkolitik Çağ iskanının çok yoğun olmadığı anlaşılmaktadır. İlk Tunç Çağı'nda seramik ve küçük buluntu sayısında bir artış yaşandığı tespit edilmiştir. Orta Tunç ve Son Tunç çağı ile birlikte ise buluntu sayısı bir hayli artmıştır. Demir Çağı içerisinde ise yerleşimin önemini koruduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Kocanadas Mevkii'nde bulunan ve Demir Çağı'na tarihlendirilen Lydia seramik örnekleri oldukça önemlidir. MÖ 6. yüzyıldan sonra höyükte iskanının devam ettiği tespit edilmiş, fakat buluntu sayısı bir hayli azalmıştır.

Crafting Values in Chalcolithic Cyprus and Anatolia

In the Chalcolithic of Cyprus and Anatolia, we can document the emergence of exchange networks that were centred on highly standardized craft products. These exchange systems, organized around figurative items crafted from stone, set the stage for the later development of long-distance exchange networks of 'prestige goods' made from metals and gemstones of often distant provenance. This earliest exchange of figurative stone objects, which occurred in egalitarian societies, remains poorly investigated. Why were such objects considered desirable in the first place? How can we understand the rise of the shared regimes of value that they objectify? In this paper, I will present some first ideas to understand this problem in relation to anthropological studies on value, and I will argue that the initial creation of value was rooted in shared cultural repertoires of craftsmanship.
