This thesis is an attempt to understand the economic structure in Central Anatolia from the Late Bronze Age to the Iron Age. For this purpose, seven settlements located in Central Anatolia were selected. Gordion, Kerkenes, Kaman-Kalehöyük, Çadır Höyük, Boğazköy, Uşaklı Höyük, and Kınık Höyük will be evaluated, respectively. In order to achieve this goal, general social theories and some specific theories on ancient economy will be critically discussed. By doing this, the applicability of existing theories to the period and region selected here will be tested. Another goal of this thesis will be to understand the relationship between political organization and economic structure. Finally, this thesis will try and reveal possible economic relations between contemporary settlements that are in geographical proximity.

The Late Bronze Age animal mobility and herding strategies: A geometric morphometric study of Ovis aries and Capra hircus remains from Hittite period Šapinuwa (Ortaköy/Turkey) Özger, Gonca; Pişkin, Evangelia; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2021-10) Throughout the Late Bronze Age period, pastoralism remained crucial for the social and economic system of the Hittite states (Beckman, 1988; Schachner, 2012; Yakar, 2000). The faunal analysis of different Hittite sites indicates a well-developed animal husbandry and a good knowledge of breeding practices which is also mentioned in Hittite archives. In tandem with this information, this thesis aims to explore the animal husbandry management, animal mobility and breeding practices during the Hittite Late Bron...
A genomic snapshot of demographic and cultural dynamism in Upper Mesopotamia during the Neolithic Transition Altınışık, Nefize Ezgi; et. al. (bioRxiv, 2022-02-01) Upper Mesopotamia played a key role in the Neolithic Transition in Southwest Asia through marked innovations in symbolism, technology, and foodways. We present thirteen ancient genomes (c.8500-7500 calBCE) from Pre-Pottery Neolithic Çayönü in the Tigris basin together with bioarchaeological and material culture data. Our findings reveal that Çayönü was a genetically diverse population, carrying a mixed ancestry from western and eastern Fertile Crescent, and that the community received immigrants. Our result...
A genomic snapshot of demographic and cultural dynamism in Upper Mesopotamia during the Neolithic Transition ALTINIŞIK, NEFİZE EZGİ; et. al. (2022-11-04) Upper Mesopotamia played a key role in the Neolithic Transition in Southwest Asia through marked innovations in symbolism, technology, and diet. We present 13 ancient genomes (c. 8500 to 7500 cal BCE) from Pre-Pottery Neolithic Çayönü in the Tigris basin together with bioarchaeological and material culture data. Our findings reveal that Çayönü was a genetically diverse population, carrying mixed ancestry from western and eastern Fertile Crescent, and that the community received immigrants.

The Social and symbolic role of early pottery in the Near East Yıldırım, Burcu.; Atakuman, Çiğdem; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2019) The aim of this thesis is to investigate the social and symbolic role of the earliest pottery in the Near East which flourished during the Neolithic Period. This dissertation provides a comparative analysis of the earliest ceramics and the relationship of pottery form and technology to the plaster and figurine technologies. As early as the 9th millennium BC, the skilled use of ceramic technology and control of fire was evident in the production of lime plaster, as well as anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figu...
