YEŞİLÖZ HÖYÜK. A NEW PREHISTORIC SITE IN VOLCANIC CAPPADOCIA

Öz

The corpus of knowledge pertaining to prehistoric cultures in Central Anatolia is predominantly informed by research conducted in the southern part of the territory. The region is divided into two distinct sub-regions: The Konya Plain in the west and the Volcanic Cappadocia region in the east. The primary reference sites for comprehending the Late Neolithic-Early Chalcolithic transition and the Early Chalcolithic Period in the region are Tepecik Çiftlik, Köşk Höyük and Gelveri sites in the western part of the Volcanic Cappadocia region, and Çatalhöyük and Canhasan sites in the Konya Plain and Karaman, which are regarded as part of the late seventh millennium BC and sixth millennium BC. In this context, it is notable that all of the settlements mentioned in the Volcanic Cappadocia Region are located in the western part of the region. Nevertheless, upon evaluation of the prehistoric periods of Nevsehir province and its environs, which can be defined as the Central Volcanic Cappadocia Region, a conspicuous chronological gap becomes evident. Consequently, Yeşiloz Höyük is a significant archaeological site, as it demonstrates that the region was inhabited during the late seventh millennium BC and the transition to the sixth millennium BC. As part of the Nevşehir Neolithic Surveys Project (NENESU), the prehistoric pottery and chipped stone finds recovered during the researches carried out at Yeşiloz Höyük, located within the borders of Yesilöz Village in Gülşehir Province, north of the Kızılırmak River, are comparable to the archaeological finds from the settlements mentioned above. The present study aims to evaluate the transition from the senevth-sixth millennium BC and the sixth millennium BC sequence in Volcanic Cappadocia, in the light of the finds from a prehistoric settlement in Central Volcanic Cappadocia, for the first time.
