Aims of the Course The objective of the course "Early Bronze Age Pottery of Eastern Anatolia" is to examine the ceramic finds belonging to the Karaz (Kura-Araxes) cultural sphere, which was dominant in the Eastern Anatolia Region during the 3rd millennium BCE, from technological, typological, and chronological perspectives. In this regard, the course aims to enable students to understand the socio-economic structure of the period, production technologies, and cultural interactions with surrounding regions through the region's distinctive dark-faced and burnished pottery tradition.
