Abstract:

 

This work focuses on the examination of bone tools recovered from the Chalcolithic phases at the northwestern Anatolian site of Gülpınar in terms of typology and function. A total of 263 bone tools were retrieved from phase II representing the early Chalcolithic 2 period and the succeeding phase III, belonging to the Middle Chalcolithic period at the site. These specimens help us to establish a typology and allow an assesament regarding the pattern of bone tool use at the site. Bone tools are viewed as objects of archaeological significance in elucidating aspects of household life and domestic production activity. Results of the analysis show that tools fashioned from discarded animal bones may have been used in domestic crafts such as mat and basket making, pot manufacturing, and hide processing.
