Document Details : Title: Preliminary Report on the 2020-2022 Excavations at Gre Fılla in the Upper Tigris Region Author(s): EKINBAŞ CAN, Özlem Journal: Anatolica Volume: 51 Date: 2025 Pages: 1-24 DOI: 10.2143/ANA.51.0.3294790 Abstract : This study present preliminary results of the 2020 and 2022 excavations from Gre Fılla, located in the northern part of the Upper Tigris region. The settlement, located on the eastern bank of the Ambar Çay, covers an area of 0.7 hectares. The rescue excavations started in 2018 within the scope of the Ambar Dam Salvage Project, and ended in 2022, revealing a Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) settlement on the northern border of the Upper Tigris region. The main occupation period, Pre-Pottery Neolithic, presents a series of levels dated between 9300-7500 cal. BCE. The rounded semi-subterranean pit-shelters from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A were recovered in 2022. The structures dating to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B are represented by communal monumental oval pit-structures surrounded by rectangular above-ground buildings, recovered in 2020-2021. The Pottery Neolithic period is represented only by isolated potsherds. |
