“…A handful of pieces of central Anatolian obsidian have been identified in late EpiPaleolithic (post-glacial) assemblages from Ö kü zini cave near Antalia (more than 300 km away) (Carter et al 2011), demonstrating that people did sometimes visit the Gö llü Dag area during the terminal Pleistocene, but the human presence may have been so ephemeral that it is difficult to detect. To date only two sites with definite late Epi-Paleolithic layers have been identified and investigated in central Turkey (Arbuckle and Erek 2012;Baird et al 2013). Globally, early Upper Paleolithic sites at least are reportedly rare above 1000 m or so in Iberia (Straus et al 2000: 567), the French Alps (Evin et al 1994: 352) and Armenia (Gasparyan et al 2014;Pinhasi et al 2008: 812), although they do occur in Italy (Mussi 2006).…”

“…There is a single excavated late Epi-Paleolithic site, Pınarbaşı, near the Konya plain (Baird et al 2013). Other reported Upper Paleolithic surface materials have yet to verified, and could very well be early Neolithic in age (Baird et al 2013: 175-176).…”

“…The increase in archaeological research east and north of the Bcore area^has revealed the density and complexity of pre-and early Natufian inhabitation of a variety of ecological zones from southern Jordan to Lebanon and northern Syria (Garrard and Yazbeck 2003;2013;Maher et al 2011Maher et al , 2012Richter et al 2010Richter et al , 2014. Looking further afield in the region, recent research at the site of Jeftelik in the Homs Gap, Syria, demonstrates early Natufian occupation far north of the Bcore area^ (Rodriguez et al 2013), and Pinarbaşi, the earliest known prehistoric settlement sequence in central Anatolia, is broadly contemporary with the Levantine Early Natufian (and later PPNA and early PPNB, (Baird et al 2013).…”

Visiting China for the first time in October 2016, at the kind invitation of Professor Feng Li, I was immediately struck by the scale and complexity of the Neolithic archaeology. During interesting discussions with Chinese colleagues it became clear that many aspects of the archaeological narratives developed for the origins of the Neolithic in China shared many of the same explanatory models and theoretical perspectives as its prehistoric counterpart in southwest Asia (modern-day Israel/Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Anatolia). I thought it therefore appropriate in my contribution to this issue of Asian Archaeology to offer a summary of the history and development of BNeolithic transition^archaeology in southwest Asia. I hope this contribution will lead to further comparative discussions.

So far, many settlement areas of the Paleolithic Age have been discovered in Turkey. While absolute dating results were obtained for some of the settlement areas in question as a result of detailed studies, these could not be obtained for some others. The most significant defect of Turkey in terms of the Paleolithic Age is that it failed to create a chronological table for this Age so far. Although there are small-scale, independent experiments, there is not any detailed table showing the whole Paleolithic chronology. Starting from this, it is very important to place the Paleolithic sites in Turkey into a chronology table. In this study, it was attempted to create an synthetic stratigraphic model considering not only periodically but also the chipped stone tool culture. This chronological table created in sequences following one another, which can occur in any excavation area, provides us the general Paleolithic image of Turkey.
