For that reason, well published model sites were chosen to investigate these issues. Major focus was then set on obsidian, with major sources located in Central Anatolia, indeed an ideal item to trace interregional relationships. Furthermore, the value of other items like flint, metals and certain small finds were reviewed to achieve a comprehensive picture of the mechanisms on Neolithic trade and exchange, and its effects on society and settlement policy.xiii, 108 leaves, illustrationsEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGN776.32.T9 G86 2009Neolithic period--Turkey.ThesisBILKUTUPB120018
