Author Description

This second volume on the excavations at Ilipinar in Northwestern Anatolia comprises studies on the pottery of Ilipinar's early farming period, e.g. the phases X through VB. Various authors present accounts of the architectural remains of phases VI through VB scattered along the west flank of the mound, while a full record is given of the radiocarbon dates, covering the whole preshistoric occupation of this multiperiod mound. In addition to reports on the chipped stone industry, a study is included on vegetational remains from this Neolithic-Early Chalcolithic settlement in the framework of Late Quarternary vegetation of Western Turkey.
