An Evaluation of Iron Age Ceramic Materials from the Erzurum-?i?demli Mounds in the Northeast Anatolia Region

The cigdemli Mound is located in the western part of Erzurum Plain, one of the largest plains of the Northeast Anatolia Region. It was uninterruptedly inhabited from the Bronze Age to the end of the Iron Age. Traces are also found from the Middle Ages. In 1997, a short-term salvage excavation was carried out under the scientific consultancy of Prof. Dr. Mehmet Karaosmanoglu. At the same time, a large number of ceramic materials were collected from the cigdemli Mound during the survey of the Erzurum Plain in 2001, again under the direction of Prof. Dr. Mehmet Karaosmanoglu. This study makes evaluations of the cigdemli Hoyuk ceramic materials that have been determined to have come from all three phases of the Iron Age and to be very dissimilar in Eastern Anatolia and is thought to be able to shed light on future research to be done on this subject.
