Tille Hoyuk 4: The Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age Transition

by Glenn Dee Summers

This is the first archaeological documentation of the continuity of settlement at Tille Hoyuk from the Late Bronze Age to the Iron Age. The report contains descriptions of finds from the LBA, and discussion of the local hand-made pottery. The pottery from the earlier part of the LBA is unlike anything previously known and its recognition may help account for the apparant dearth of LBA occupation in south-east Turkey. As the only site in the Ataturk Dam region to document closely this transition, it should be essential reading for those concerned with this period in the Near East.
