Full Description

This volume is the third in a series of monographs on the archaeological
investigations at Ilıpınar in Northwest Anatolia, which were carried out
by the Netherlands Institute at Leiden/Istanbul from 1987 to 2002. The
excavations of Ilıpınar supplemented with soundings at nearby Menteşe
have yielded new insight into the spread of Neolithic farming from the
Near East to the European continent, and in particular has thrown light
on the position of the eastern Marmara region in terms of intercultural
relations.


In this book emphasis is laid on the inhabitants of prehistoric
Ilıpınar, their survival strategies and mortuary practices. The contents
include final reports on the cemeteries dating to the Neolithic-Early
Chalcolithic, Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze periods respectively,
insofar as possible in both the archaeological and anthropological
aspects. Moreover it treats the lowest occupation levels, general
building techniques, faunal and floral remains, pottery and flint
industries in an attempt to present a comprehensive image of human
activity on a mound that intermittently bears vestiges of men over a
time period of 7000 years. It concludes with an account on the fauna of
basal Menteşe and a full excavation report on the Early Bronze Age
hamlet of Hacılartepe.
