BATI VE ORTA ANADOLU’DA ÇARK YAPIMI ÇANAK ÇÖMLEĞİN ORTAYA ÇIKIŞI VE YAYILIMI

The chronology of the Early Bronze Age in Anatolia has not yet been fully established. The most important underlying reason for this is that wheelmade pottery, a key innovation which marked the beginning of the EBA III in western Anatolia, has not been discovered with common characteristics and with the same density on a specific horizon in the entire region. This complicated a reliable synchronisation of the local chronologies considerably. As a result of this, the western Anatolian and the Aegean chronologies could not be satisfactorily correlated. So far, no noteworthy study has been made on the early use and distribution of the wheelmade pottery in western and central Anatolia. Within the framework of the thesis, the technology of this pottery and the distribution and local characteristics of its ware groups and forms are investigated and their significance is revealed, in a more concrete way, in the western Anatolian EBA chronology. In conclusion, the thesis examines the early distribution of the characteristic elements of the EBA III wheelmade pottery in the Anatolian peninsula, the reasons underlying it and its consequences. The studies on the wheelmade pottery recovered at Küllüoba near Eskişehir indicated to us the gradual intensification of trade relations in the EB III between far-reaching areas. The thesis clearly demonstrates that the relations between Mesopotamia and the North Aegean Troy were established, not along the south Anatolian and Aegean coastline but, on the contrary, over the land route, via inland western Anatolia. Thus, it has been clarified that certain cultural innovations were introduced to the Troad from inland northwestern Anatolia, due to the intensified trade relations. Consequently, the thesis emphasizes the need of dealing with the interrelations and interactions between western Anatolia and the Aegean in the EBA from a new perspective.
