| T. Ökse and her team investigated it during the Ilisu Dam Construction Area Survey 2008. Besides Chalcolithic, there were Neolithic, Middle Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, and Hellenistic Period, Medieval and contemporary age material found. Potteries collected were hand made, rough, fired in low temperature, some horizontal fluted and rarely incised or jagged decoration and resembled the groups dated to 1200-900 BC in Upper Tigris and Upper Euphrates regions. The fact that the pottery of this period found in many sites, suggested the communities might live in small groups in this period. Also the common half nomadic lifestyle based on animal husbandry in Early Iron Age at this region brought to mind that these sites, which Early Iron Age pottery found, might be used as seasonal habitation sites. There were knobbed-base potsherds among the findings of New Assyrian Kingdom dated to Middle Iron Age [Ökse et al. 2010:336; 340]. |
