Abstract

The site of Gülpınar, located in the Troad in northwest Anatolia has revealed settlements of the Early and Middle Chalcolithic periods (late 6th to mid 5th millennia BC). Among the artefacts recovered during the excavation is a small number of personal ornaments. This article provides descriptions of the artefacts and considers how they fit into the wider ornamentation practices of prehistory. There are few published items of ornamentation from the period during which Gülpınar was inhabited so direct comparators are in relatively short supply. However, considering earlier developments in ornamentation practices and evidence from a broad region it is possible to draw some conclusions about the choices made by the site’s inhabitants.

Personal Ornaments From Chalcolithic Gülpınar, North-West Anatolia

Abstract

Kuzeybatı Anadolu’da, Biga yarımadasında bulunan Gülpınar’da, Erken ve Orta Kalkolitik dönem (M.Ö. geç 6. – orta 5. bin) yerleşimleri ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Kazılar sırasında ortaya çıkarılan eserler arasında az sayıda kişisel süs eşyası bulunmaktadır. Bu makale, eserlerin açıklamalarını sağlamakta ve bunların tarihöncesi döneme ait daha geniş alanda süsleme pratiğindeki uygulamalara nasıl uyum sağladığı konusunu ele almaktadır. Gülpınar’da açığa çıkarılan döneme ait yayımlanmış ve karşılaştırılabilecek kapasitede az sayıda süs eşyası vardır, bu nedenle doğrudan karşılaştırmalar nispeten yetersizdir. Bununla birlikte, süsleme pratiği uygulamalarındaki önceki gelişmeler ve daha geniş bir bölgeden gelen kanıtlar dikkate alındığında, yerleşimde oturanlar tarafından yapılan bu konudaki tercihler hakkında bazı sonuçları çıkarmak mümkündür.
