| Comment | The obsidian came mostly from Kayirli-Bitlikeler, only about 3% from Nenezi and Kömürcü-Kaletepe. The obsidian was imported in the form of nodules, flaking and shaping took place in the settlement (blade technology --> bi-directional and unidirectional knapping techniques). Various groups of the community did the knapping, therefore no specialization and standardization can be observed. First, thick flakes were removed, then thin ones. A lot of scrapers were found, formed on thick flakes; also found were retouched tools, notched and pointed blades, arrowheads, borers, burins, splintered pieces and microliths (few geometrics, more from the earlier phase of Level 2). Three different groups of arrowheads occur. Typical for Aşıklı: one-shouldered, tanged with abrupt retouch, its function is debatable (for leather working, cutting, splitting wood, producing bone implements, some pieces showed traces of being used in harvesting wild or cultivated plants) |
