The excavations at Canhasan Hoyuk I in the Konya plain of central Turkey revealed a series of settlements running through the Chalcolithic period (c. 5500-3000 BC). The pottery from the site, much of it of types previously unknown or not found elsewhere in stratified contexts, is of fundamental importance for an understanding of this period in Anatolia. This volume presents both the plain and decorated wares, with detailed descriptions of their characteristic fabrics, shapes and decoration. There is a full catalogue of the best-preserved and most important pieces, but a major feature of the volumeis the drawings of over 2500 less well-preserved pieces. A special feature of the study is a careful grading of the material in terms of chronological reliability. This rigorous methodology means that the Chalcolithic pottery provides a completely reliable relative chronology through the Chalcolithic period.
