Bati Anadolu’da Erken ve Gec Kalkolitik Donem tanimlamasi ile ele alinan surecte gorulen materyal kultur daha tanimliyken MO. 5. binyil icerisinde gorulen materyal kulturun icerigi ozellikle kazi sayisinin azligindan dolayi belirgin degildir. Denizli Ilinde yer alan Laodikeia/Asopos Tepesi kazilarinda ana kayanin hemen uzerinde ince bir kulturel dolgu icerisinde ele gecen tabaka icerisindeki canak comlek grubu bu az bilinen donem hakkinda yeni veriler ortaya koymaktadir. Bu tabakada bulunan canak comleklerin formlari ve yuzey ozellikleri MO 5. bin yilin 1. yarisina tarihlenen bir yerlesimin varligini ortaya koymustur. Yerlesimde yerel nitelikler baskin olmakla birlikte ozellikle Ege Adalari ile olan etkilesimin de izleri acik bir bicimde takip edilebilmektedir

A paint-decorated pottery tradition is observed in Inner Southwest Anatolia from the early 16th century B.C. to the 11th century B.C. These pottery items, which are characterised by red, brown or black paint decorations over gold wash ware, were first discovered at Beycesultan Hoyuk and Aphrodisias followed by a significant recent discovery at Laodikeia Asopos Tepesi excavations and included in the Late Bronze Age repertory. This group of wares preserved its general characteristics during the Late Bronze Age as a conservative craft tradition. During both the early and the late phases of the Late Bronze Age the pottery is represented at all three centres with goldwashed wares decorated with similar motifs. The Local Painted Pottery Tradition, which is important for the to-be-revised 2nd millennium B.C. chronology since it was observed during a specific time period, might be accepted as one of the factors that characterizes the Late Bronze age in Inland Western Anatolia.

Asopos Tepesi, Denizli Ili’nin 6 km kuzeydogusunda, kent merkezine bagli Eskihisar, Bozburun, Goncali mahallelerindeki Laodikeia Antik Kentinin sinirlari icerisinde yer alir. Yerlesim, Lykos Vadisi uzerinde yaklasik 270 m yuksekligindeki dogal bir tepe uzerine konumlanmistir. Calismada Laodikeia Asopos Tepesinde yurutulen kazilarda bulunan Orta ve Gec Tunc Caglarina tarihlenen seramiklerin arkeometrik analizleri yapilmistir. Gerceklestirilen minerolojik ve kimyasal calismalar her iki donemde de belirgin bir bicimde ayirt edilebilen iki ana grubun var oldugunu ortaya koymustur. Belirlenen iki ana grubun gozleme dayali belirlenen mal gruplariyla da iliskilendirmek mumkundur. Orta ve Gec Tunc Cagina ait seramiklerin tipolojisi her iki donem arasinda bir takim farkliliklari ortaya koysa da onemli derecede benzerliklerin ve surekliligin oldugu aciktir. Yapilan arkeometrik analizler de gerek seramiklerin uretim teknolojisinde gerekse uretim asamalarinda her iki donem arasinda onemli derec...

Höyük Settlement is located within the boundary of Çal district of Denizli Province. It was strategically located on a natural passage and an important centre surrounded by walls during the 2 nd millennium BC. Surveys conducted in the Upper Menderes Basin have revealed that the mountainous and plateau areas are at least as densely settled as in lowland sections and these areas have significant importance in archaeological point of view. An intensive archaeological survey was conducted in order to find answers on Höyük settlements. Therefore, The Middle and Late Bronze Age ceramics which were found in the settlement area were evaluated from archaeological and archaeometric perspective. These ceramics were characterized by using typological evaluations, optical microscopy and X-Ray Fluorescence analyses (XRF). Analogical evaluations shown that the settlement's interregional relations reach from Central Anatolian to the West Anatolian shores, but the local features known from Beycesultan are prominent. Archaeometric analyses revealed that the Middle and Late Bronze Age ceramics contain metamorphic rock fragments and very abundant carbonate. Small and fine quartz grains, a small amount of pyroxene and plagioclase minerals and abundant carbonate are observed in these samples. The results obtained from the intensive survey supported the idea that the importance of the settlements in the mountainous and plateau areas increased after the decline seen in the region in 16 th century BC.
