Description

This study focuses on the archaeological finds from Dağdeviren Höyük, an Early Bronze Age settlement in Western Anatolia. Dağdeviren Höyük is situated in a region which is abundant in natural resources and which has been home to numerous cultures since the Neolithic period. The inhabitants of Dağdeviren established a unique culture in these fertile lands, situated at the intersection of routes from the interior of Anatolia to the coastal Aegean region. The finds comprise diverse materials such as terracotta, stone, metal, and bone and present a rich material culture. Overall, this study aims to present new and intriguing insights regarding the Dağdeviren culture to the European, Aegean, and Anatolian communities for the first time.
