Abstract

For a long time, assessments and evaluations of the western Anatolian Early Bronze Age (EBA) have only been based on the excavation results of Tarsus, Karataş-Semayük, Beycesultan, Demircihüyük, and Troy. However, excavations and surface surveys carried out in the last two decades have increased our knowledge enormously. In particular, the excavations of Liman Tepe, Küllüoba, and Seyitömer have made an immense contribution to the establishment of a reliable West Anatolian EBA chronology. The surface surveys have also made it possible to define better the borders of the cultural areas and pottery zones of the region. Based on these new data, new theories are presented here on the cultural and socio-political development of the region, as well as on regional and inter-regional relationships during the EBA.

Pendant longtemps, les études et évaluations sur l'Âge du Bronze ancien (EBA: Early Bronze Age) en Anatolie occidentale se sont uniquement basées sur les résultats des fouilles de Tarsus, Karataş-Semayük, Beycesultan, Demircihüyük et Troie. Toutefois les fouilles et les levés de surface effectués tout au long des deux dernières décennies ont considérablement accru nos connaissances. Plus particulièrement les fouilles de Liman Tepe, Küllüoba et Seyitömer ont immensément contribué à l'établissement d'une chronologie fiable de l'EBA ouest-anatolien. Les sondages de surface ont également permis de mieux définir les frontières des zones culturelles et céramiques de la région. En nous basant sur ces nouvelles données, nous présentons ici des nouvelles théories sur le développement culturel et socio-politique de la région, de même que sur les relations régionales et inter-régionales durant le EBA. Translation by Isabelle Gerges.

Über einen langen Zeitraum hinweg beruhten die Beurteilungen und Bewertungen der westanatolischen Frühbronzezeit auf den Ausgrabungsergebnissen von Tarsus, Karataş-Semayük, Beycesultan, Demircihüyük und Troja. Jedoch haben Ausgrabungen und Oberflächenbegehungen der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte unsere Kenntnisse deutlich bereichert. Besonders die Grabungen von Liman Tepe, Küllüoba und Seyitömer haben einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Etablierung einer verlässlichen Chronologie der Frühbronzezeit in Westanatolien geleistet. Oberflächensurveys haben es zudem möglich gemacht, die Grenzen der Kulturgebiete und der Keramikzonen in den jeweiligen Regionen besser zu definieren. Anhand dieser neuen Ergebnisse werden hier neue Theorien zur kulturellen und soziopolitischen Entwicklung der Regionen wie auch zu lokalen und überregionalen Beziehungen während der Frühbronzezeit vorgestellt.
