“…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.

“…This phase was stratigraphically determined at Küllüoba, and reflects the characteristics of the Upper Sakarya pottery zone. These new pottery elements at the site appear in Phase IVB, becoming more common in the succeeding IVA phase (Sarı, 2009).…”

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.
