Docent Dr. Kılıç Kökten brought to the author of the article for study a human skeleton which he found in an excavation which he made in 1956 in öküzini (the cave of the ox) near the village of Yagca in the prov-ince of Antalya. According to the information supplied to by Dr. Kökten this skeleton was found in a layer of 75 centimeters thickness, which occurs below the Chalcolithic stratum. Dr. Kökten states that in this layer including the human skeleton, which was found 25-30 centimeters below the base of the Chalcolithic stratum, he encountered potsherds of handmade, black, burnished coarse pottery and small flint knives and attributes this layer to "the first ceramic settlement of Turkey", that is to the Neolithic period.
