Kızıl Kale: An Iron Age Settlement in the Upper Kızılırmak Basin and New Findings

Abstract

Kızıl Kale, Yukarı Kızılırmak havzasında, Sivas İli, Zara İlçesi’ne bağlı Kızılkale Köyü’nün yaklaşık 1,5 km kuzeyinde, doğu-batı yönünde uzanan bir vadide, doğal bir tepe üzerinde yer alan, yaklaşık 250 X 350 m boyutlarında büyük bir Demir Çağı yerleşmesidir Fig. 1-3 . Yüzeyden toplanan Erken Demir Çağı el yapımı monokrom seramiği Fig. 4-5 , Orta Demir çağı monokrom seramiği Fig. 6-9 ve Geç Demir Çağı kırmızı bant boyalı seramiği Fig.10 yerleşmenin Demir Çağı boyunca yerleşim gördüğünü göstermektedir. Yerleşme, Yukarı Kızılırmak havzasının doğu sınırında yer alan büyük Demir Çağı yerleşmelerine iyi bir örnek oluşturmaktadır. Kızıl Kale buluntuları, şimdiki bilgilerimize göre, Orta Anadolu platosunun doğu bölümünde hâkim olan Demir Çağı kültürlerinin doğu sınırına işaret etmektedir

Kızıl Kale: An Iron Age Settlement in the Upper Kızılırmak Basin and New Findings

Abstract

Kızıl Kale, located on the Upper Kızılırmak Halys Basin, on a natural hill situated on a valley flowing in east-west direction, is approximately 1.5 kilometers to the north of Kızılkale Village of Zara District, Sivas Province. The site is a large Iron Age settlement of approximately 250 x 350 m Figs. 1-3 . According to Early Iron Age hand-made monochrome wares Figs. 4-5 , Middle Iron Age monochrome wares Figs. 6-9 and Late Iron Age Red Band Painted wares Fig. 10 collected from the surface confirm that, the settlement was inhabited throughout the Iron Age. The settlement is a good example of large Iron Age settlements located on the eastern border of the Upper Kızılırmak Basin. According to current knowledge, Kızıl Kale material reflects the eastern borderland cultures dominating the eastern part of the Central Anatolian Plateau.
