SULUCA KARAHÖYÜK’TEN KUŞ BİÇİMLİ KAP ÜZERİNE BAZI DÜŞÜNCELER
SOME THOUGHTS ON A BIRD-SHAPED VESSEL FROM SULUCA KARAHÖYÜK

Summary/Abstract: The bird-shaped vessel discovered at the Suluca Karahöyük settlement mound, located in the center of Cappadocia, in the Hacibektaş District of Nevşehir, has a new addition to such vessels in Anatolia. The Suluca Karahöyük bird-shaped vessel can be dated with examples of Early Bronze Age II and III in terms of type and property. The closest examples of bird-shaped vessels that resemble our example and offer comparison are highlighted in Cyprus, Western Anatolia, the Cyclades Islands and the Balkans. It seems that they are typologically in harmony with a small number of bird-shaped vessels from these centers. The Suluca Karahöyük bird-shaped is quite small in size, albeit with a formal and proportionally realistic manner. When all these features are taken into consideration, it is possible to make some suggestions about the cabinet function.
