Document Details : Title: Ilipinar, Barcin Höyük and Demircihüyük Subtitle: Some Remarks on the Late Chalcolithic Period in North-western Anatolia Author(s): SEEHER, Jürgen Journal: Anatolica Volume: 38 Date: 2012 Pages: 117-127 DOI: 10.2143/ANA.38.0.2186350 Abstract : The evidence for settlements of the Late Chalcolithic period in north-western inland Anatolia is extremely scarce. The excavations at Demircihüyük in the 1970ies yielded for the first time a substantial body of pottery material of this period, but with very limited stratigraphic information. Later on, the Late Chalcolithic cemetery excavated at Ilıpınar produced a large group of vessels similar to the shapes from Demircihüyük, but still difficult to evaluate. Now, after the publication of similar material from nearby Barcın Höyük, further clues have become evident. The purpose of this paper is a re-evaluation of the Demircihüyük material in the light of the new evidence, leading to an attempt at better differentiation of the pottery assemblages at the various sites. At the same time, a summary of the dispersed information available on the Late Chalcolithic settlement remains at Demircihüyük, including radiocarbon datings, is provided. |
