Abstract

Mehmet Bey Dere is an Early Bronze Age (EBA) settlement and cemetery located in the Ulubey Canyon in inland western Anatolia. This place is unique in western Anatolia with its settlement in the middle terraces of Ulubey Canyon and the cemetery at the bottom of the canyon. The settlement and cemetery are dated to the EBA 2-3 (2700-2000 BC) and the Middle Bronze Age (MBA) (2000-1600 BC). Various sherds, an idol, and other finds were evaluated with an emphasis on the reasons why the settlement and cemetery were preferred over the canyon. Mehmet Bey Dere is a settlement that provides information about the western Anatolian settlement model, cemetery relationships, topography, and how EBA people used the geography in this region, and sheds light on understanding these things.
