Küllüoba’da Erken Tunç Çağı III Döneminde Kalınlaştırılmış Dudaklı (Bead-rim) Kâselerin Ortaya Çıkışı ve Gelişimi
Abstract
The beginnings of the Transitional Period into the MBA, we can speak of a discontinuity which can be defined as a “breaking point” in terms of cultural development: while inland western Anatolia was earlier an integral part of western Anatolia, the area appears to have become culturally and –most probably politically- aligned with Central Anatolia. This new period, called “Übergangsperiode” by W.Orthmann, is characterized particularly by a new type of pottery and spans 300 years from the middle of the EB III ca. 2200 bc up until the beginning of the Assyrian Colony Period. Küllüoba is the only excavation site in inland western Anatolia at which the Transitional Period into the MBA has been extensively investigated. This period, comprising 5 phases IIE-IIA at Küllüoba, has been treated in two stages: a Proto-Transitional Period and a Transitional Period. The most diagnostic material group of the Transitional Period is the pottery. The beadrim bowl is the most characteristic form for this period. All these findings lead to the conclusion that the Transitional Pottery appeared first in the Proto-Transitional Period in the Phyrigian Cultural Region, spreading from there into the Kızılırmak bend and eventually as far as the Central Black Sea Region in the North and the Konya Region in the South.
