GÖKHÖYÜK BAĞLARI HÖYÜĞÜNDEN ERKEN DEMİR ÇAĞI SERAMİĞİ
EARLY IRON AGE CERAMICS FROM THE GÖKHÖYÜK BAĞLARI MOUND

Summary/Abstract: The great tribal migration that broke out approximately in the 1200 B.C. caused great changes in the social and political structure of Anatolia. After these migrations, many monarchical states of the 2nd Millennium BC (Hittite, Mitanni, Babylon, Kasga) disappeared. The interruption of the written sources along with the turmoil in the Anatolian geography and the information about the communities living here being very limited has caused this period called Dark Age. The new studies and the new archaeological data obtained in time made it possible to enlighten this period. The finds obtained from the ceramics unearthed in excavations in Gordion Yassı Höyük, Boğazköy, Hattusa, Alisar, have contributed significantly to the elucidation of Central Anatolia Iron Age. The results of the C14 analysis on the ceramics recently obtained from the clean strata at Bogazköy-Hattusa, Gordion and Kaman Kale Höyük and the comparisons made with analogical methods ensured the Central Anatolian Iron Age to become more understandable.
