| Abstract |
| Being carried on since 1989, Şarhöyük – Dorylaion Excavations has revealed a series of architectural levels of long-term settlements, beginning with the Late Bronze Age (ŞH V) up to the Byzantine Period (ŞH I). However, the architectural levels belonging to the Early and Middle Bronze Ages could not have been unearthed despite the fact that the material from the mentioned periods are attested on the mound. During the excavations conducted in different seasons and on various sectors of the mound, a remarkable mount of Early Bronze Age material was detected within the filling soil carried by the Late Roman and Byzantine periods for filling and terracing the Hellenistic levels (ŞH III). The mentioned Early Bronze Age material is represented by figurines, spindle-whorls, weights, and besides, a relatively good repertory of Early Bronze Age pottery. The variety of the findings and their vast distribution over the mound makes one think that the soil including the Early Bronze Age material was removed from a different cone on the mound that is absent to us today, or from a very close Early Bronze Age settlement. The aim of this paper is to introduce the Early Bronze Age pottery unearthed at Şarhöyük – Dorylaion up today, and to make a contribution to the Early Bronze Age studies |
