İstanbul’da son yıllarda artan arkeolojik araştırmalara doğru orantılı olarak Tarihöncesi ve Öntarih kültürel sürecine ilişkin bilgilerimiz de daha belirgin hale gelmektedir. Kentte yerleşimin ilk olarak Neolitik Dönem’de başladığı, yer değiştirmeler ya da farklı yerleşmeler temelinde kesintisiz bir şekilde Eski Yunan Kolonizasyon dönemine değin sürdüğü anlaşılmaktadır. Buna karşın Sultanahmet Eski Cezaevi, Yenikapı ve Beşiktaş gibi önemli kazılarda, “İstanbul’un Resmi Antik Tarihi” algılatılmaya çalışılan “Byzas – Megaralılar – Byzantion – MÖ 669/658” kurgusunu destekleyen hiçbir bulgu ele geçmemiştir. Aksine, Erken Demir Çağı’nda Thrak varlığı ile ilgili bulgular Sultanahmet – Ayasofya düzlüğünün yanısıra, Beşiktaş’ta da belirmeye başlamıştır. Güncel bulguların yansıra kimi eski kazıların bulgularının da değerlendirildiği bu çalışmada, İstanbul’da Byzantion öncesi yerel halklara ait bir Demir Çağı yerleşmesi olabileceği hususu tartışılmaktadır.

On the contrary, the evidence pointing towards the Thracian presence of Early Iron Age started appearing in Beşiktaş besides the Sultanahmet – Hagia Sophia flats. In this article where new evidence as well as the old ones are evaluated, the theory that the Istanbul being an Iron Age settlement belonging the local Pre-Byzantion people
