Abstract

This paper attempts to re-address the balance by

discussing settlement patterns from the Neolithic period to

the EBA, with particular reference to the Chalcolithic period

in Phrygia Region which is located at the junction of the

Eastern Marmara region in the north-west part of Central

Anatolia and the northern part of inner Western Anatolia,

Phrygia is bordered by the mountains of the Western Black

Sea region to the north. A synthesis of the surveys and

excavations conducted in Phrygia will be presented, and

similarities with other parts of Central Anatolia (mainly the

northern latitudes below the Pontic Mountains bordering the

Black Sea) will be discussed.
