The Anatolian Urban Model: Its Origin and Evolution 5200-2200 BC

Abstract

While the second half of the third millennium BC is generally accepted as the period in which cities began to emerge in Anatolia, it has been thought that there is no single process of urbanisation in the region. Contrary to the general belief, however, there was a common tradition of urbanisation in Anatolia throughout the Early Bronze Age. Manfred Korfmann was the first scholar to recognize this settlement pattern, naming it “Anatolisches Siedlungsschema” Korfmann 1983: 222-229 . This article is an attempt to analyze the roots and evolutionary stages of this Anatolian settlement pattern, or urban model.
