The Iron Age at Kuşaklı.

Hardcover
On the acropolis, a village settlement [per. VI] of the late 7th / early 6th century B.C. and a fortress [per. VII] of the 2nd half of the 6th century B.C. were discovered. The pottery and small finds provided the first sound basis ever for a typological and chronological framework of the period and region. Period VI started with a grid-like parcelling of the total site to be built on later. Secondary annexes to buildings caused the merging of the loam houses, which possessed paved zones [stables?], partly roofed yards with hearths and storage pits, living rooms, utility rooms, and flat roofs. The village settlement was deserted and replaced by the fortification shortly after, which later perished in a conflagration. The fortress consisted of a mud brick wall on a low stone foundation with semicircular bastions, living casemates radially added to the circuit wall, and a tower at the highest point of the site. The pottery relicts [pots, storage vessels] document the storing and cooking of foodstuffs inside the individual houses, amongst this also the processing of milk. Imported pottery proves contacts with the Urartian and Greek spheres.
