This article, the Black Glazed Pottery were dated, introduced to the scientific world and the socio-economic structure of Acemhöyük in that period and the relations between the regions were tried to be understood. In this study, the Black Glazed Pottery found at Acemhöyük has been dated and introduced to the scientific world, and an attempt has been made to understand the socio-economic structure of Acemhöyük during that period as well as its interregional interactions. The Acemhöyük samples in the form of kantharoi and bowls were dated to the last quarter of the 4th century BC and the 3rd century BC. Their production characteristics suggest that they were produced in West Anatolia/North Ionia. This information reveals that Acemhöyük had direct or indirect relations with Western Anatolia at the mentioned date and that Acemhöyük had a place in the regional trade network in the 3rd century BC. These data have demonstrated that Acemhöyük established direct or indirect relations with Western Anatolia in the 3rd century BC and that it was part of the regional trade network during this period.
