THE POTTERY FROM ACEMHÖYÜK

Öz

The pottery of Acemhöyük was discovered in the large trenches dug within the area that covered squares DB - GB:27 - 30; NA 8 U/ 54-51; TZ/29-33; TA-NA/78. The pottery used in the three building levels, established from the surface dovvnvvards, was the so-called Hittite pottery. In ali four trenches Level I, vvhich is nearest to the surface, was so damaged as to manifest its existence only through some destroyed vvalls. The pottery from this level is scarce and generally found as sherds; the forms and techniques are not very helpful in dating the building level. Nevertheless the comparison of pottery found in other Hittite centers with the pottery of Level III, situated immediately below the first level, has shovvn that Level II is contemporary with Level Ib at the Karum of Kanesh. Level I of Acemhöyük belongs to a later period. Hovvever, as yet, we are not in a position to specify the lowest limit.
