“…New excavations and surface surveys carried out in western Anatolia in recent years have enabled us to make new assessments, particularly regarding the cultural regions and pottery zones of the region, and also to establish more precisely their distribution areas. The most important of these were the surface survey projects carried out in the provinces of Manisa (Akdeniz, 2009(Akdeniz, , 2010, Denizli (Abay & Dedeoğlu, 2005Dedeoğlu, 2008), and Afyon (Koçak & Bilgin, 2005).

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.

We have been doing archaeological surveys in the west of Turkey for 17 years. Also, in this region we carried out excavations in "Dede Mezarı", MBA Cemetery for five years. During these studies, it has been found out that the thousands of years old sites were destroyed by illegal digs and agricultural activities. The most important way to prevent these ruins to raise the awareness of the security units and local community. It should be explained that the sites and the works that have come out of here have universal character; they should be protected and the archaeologists, art historians or historians who are expert on their fields can do excavations here. It should be emphasized that when the studies are carried out on a scientific level, the results will make a contribution to the development of the region, as well. Because people should be gathered from the local community in order to carry out these studies and certain amount of money will be paid for them. Moreover, the historical area will be brought in tourism and the works extracted from here will be exhibited in museums. S o a long-termed and permanent source bearing no risk has been produced. These informative studies which are for local administrators and local people should be as regular workshops, conferences or field practice. It is crucial that the protection awareness of the archaeological sites should be gained at early ages. Index Terms-Archaeological sites, illegal digs, the preservation of the ancient sites. I. THE DESTRUCTION PROBLEM OF CULTURAL HERITAGE The earliest settlements in Turkey date back to the Prehistoric periods.
