“…BC, and to place the unstratified surface materials (termed as 'Q') within a few generations later (table 1). Thanks to detailed work on ceramic chronotypology associated with stratigraphic analysis and four radiocarbon dates, the more recent excavations at Küllüoba (ca 50km away as the crow flies) have further confirmed the validity of the Demircihüyük sequence (Efe, Ay Efe 2000;Efe, Fidan 2008;Sarı 2009;2012;Türkteki 2012). In addition, Demircihüyük can be quite easily linked with the Trojan sequence which, despite the long-standing problems of relating Carl Blegen's results with those of the renewed excavations of Manfred Korfmann, still repre-52 sents the most important 'stratigraphic pillar' in western Anatolia (Bachhuber 2008: 24).…”

This paper adds a new interpretive layer to the already extremely well-investigated site of Demircihüyük, a small Early Bronze Age settlement at the northwestern fringes of the central Anatolian plateau. It presents a reassessment of the evidence for prehistoric mining in the region, as well as a new programme of chemical composition analysis integrated with an object functional and technological typology of the site's metal assemblages. The results reveal complex manufacturing techniques (such as bivalve mould casting, plating and lost wax) and the co-occurrence of several alloying types, including the earliest tin bronzes in the region. Object typology further indicates that the Demircihüyük community was at the intersection of two distinct metallurgical networks: one centred on the western Anatolian highlands, the other spanning the northern part of the central plateau. Additionally, several strands of evidence suggest that the beginning of interregional exchanges, linking central Anatolia to northern Levantine and Mesopotamian societies, may have started at an earlier date than the commonly assumed ca 3000–2800 BC.

“…Here, the 'Transitional Period into the Early Bronze Age' and 'Early Bronze Age III', which are not represented in the Demircihöyük stratigraphy, were stratigraphically revealed, thus providing an uninterrupted and reliable EBA chronology for the region. Furthermore, new clues to support the theories of the 'Great Caravan Route' were obtained (Efe & Ay Efe, 2000;Efe, 2007;.…”

“…Black-burnished wares, typical of the Late Chalcolithic, increasingly gave way to the red-slipped and burnished wares of later phases. Simple-profiled, loop-handled bowls, necked pots and jars, jugs and beak-spouted jugs are very characteristic (Efe & Ay-Efe, 2000).…”

An Overview of the Western Anatolian Early Bronze Age

For a long time, assessments and evaluations of the western Anatolian Early Bronze Age (EBA) have only been based on the excavation results of Tarsus, Karatas-Semayük, Beycesultan, Demircihüyük, and Troy. However, excavations and surface surveys carried out in the last two decades have increased our knowledge enormously. In particular, the excavations of Liman Tepe, Küllüoba, and Seyitömer have made an immense contribution to the establishment of a reliable West Anatolian EBA chronology. The surface surveys have also made it possible to define better the borders of the cultural areas and pottery zones of the region. Based on these new data, new theories are presented here on the cultural and socio-political development of the region, as well as on regional and inter-regional relationships during the EBA.

“…Unfortunately, there is no object number, and, therefore, no further information is available. Comparisons for fenestrated pedestals are known from Demircihüyük, Emporio, Küllüoba (especially from phase VI; Efe and Ay 2000, 15 and 40, pl. 1), Poliochni and Troy.…”

Assumptions are always made about the levels and directions of cultural connections across regions in western Anatolia and the eastern Aegean in the Early Bronze Age (EBA). However, a lack of primary fieldwork data still inhibits clear conclusions and an understanding of the subtleties and variations in such patterns. In particular, primary data is still lacking from the critical coastal ‘touch-point’ of these two regions where material evidence is usually obscured by significant geomorphological change. This article looks at this complex issue of variations in regional connectivity in the EBA through a case study of unpublished primary fieldwork material from the Madra River Delta, a coastal region of north-west Anatolia. Material from the excavation and surface survey of two EBA mound sites in the delta, carried out as part of the interdisciplinary research project, gives a rare opportunity to explore ‘connectivity’ on this coastal area through elements of its EBA material culture, ranging from ceramic and textile production to figurines. The article highlights not only the complex, and unexpected, nature of the inter-regional cultural ‘pathways’ visible in the delta itself, but also the implications – and further questions – which this raises for the cultural connections with the neighbouring region of the north-east Aegean.
