The occupational levels IV and V at Ulucak, systematically excavated since 1995, correspond to 7-6th millennia cal. BCE, or more concretely, to the era of the early food-producing communities in the region. Until recently, there was virtually no problem-oriented research, neither surveys nor excavations, in the area which aimed to focus on the evidence of the early farming societies. Thus, long-term excavations at Ulucak functioned as a pioneering project aiming to expose large areas belonging to the Neolithic period. The lengthy depositional sequence of the mound enabled archaeologists to reveal the intra-site culture-historical sequence, as well as define local characteristics of the Neolithic material culture. Thanks to the research at Ulucak it has become possible to discuss the origins, relationships, and development of Neolithic culture in Western Anatolia. Subsequent excavations at other contemporary sites in the area surrounding Ulucak, namely at Ege Gübre, Yeşilova, Çukuriçi and Dedecik-Heybelitepe, turned Central-West Anatolia, specifically the İzmir Region, to one of the best researched regions in Turkey with respect to the Neolithic period. Besides, the material culture unearthed at these sites enabled the prehistorians to acknowledge the intra-regional homogeneity as well as diversity and led them to consider possibilities regarding the multiple origins and diverse social-cultural connections of early the food-producing groups in Central-West Anatolia. Most of the previous assumptions related to the cultural origins and relations of İzmir Region have been abandoned or re-formulated. Specifically the assumption that the earliest farmers arrived in the region as late as 6400 cal.

POT Over A Century Of Camanship In Clay INTRODUCTION artisan made This catalog shows the wide range of pottery pieces designed & handmade in our ceramic studios and fired in our kilns. These pieces are not only for the garden, but also for general use of decoration indoors and out. Gladding, McBean & Co. has been producing this pottery for 130 years. Its manufacture began in the earliest years of the company’s existence at a time when no other terra cotta plant on the Pacific Coast was attempting anything of the sort. Gladding, McBean & Co. therefore, has pioneered in pottery-making. The company feels that it has carried the art to an impressive height of excellence. In every detail but color the following photographs speak for themselves. Each piece is glazed in one of our beautiful proprietary glazes. A complete set of glaze samples can be seen at our retail showrooms. This pottery is on display at, and may be ordered from, any of the retail showrooms listed on our website at www.gladdingmcbean.com. In photographing the pieces, and in reproducing the photographs for this catalog, the strictist care was taken to make the pictures as faithful as possible to the objects themselves. We are confident that in every instance the pottery will be found lovelier than its picture. The poet might well have had this pottery in mind when he wrote: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” BIRDBATHS no. 1099 birdbath width: 15.5” height: 24.5” base: 10” Birdbath no.

  • Separating Fact from Fiction in the Aiolian Migration
    hesperia yy (2008) SEPARATING FACT Pages399-430 FROM FICTION IN THE AIOLIAN MIGRATION ABSTRACT Iron Age settlementsin the northeastAegean are usuallyattributed to Aioliancolonists who journeyed across the Aegean from mainland Greece. This articlereviews the literary accounts of the migration and presentsthe relevantarchaeological evidence, with a focuson newmaterial from Troy. No onearea played a dominantrole in colonizing Aiolis, nor is sucha widespread colonizationsupported by the archaeologicalrecord. But the aggressive promotionof migrationaccounts after the PersianWars provedmutually beneficialto bothsides of theAegean and justified the composition of the Delian League. Scholarlyassessments of habitation in thenortheast Aegean during the EarlyIron Age are remarkably consistent: most settlements are attributed toAiolian colonists who had journeyed across the Aegean from Thessaly, Boiotia,Akhaia, or a combinationof all three.1There is no uniformityin theancient sources that deal with the migration, although Orestes and his descendantsare named as theleaders in mostaccounts, and are credited withfounding colonies over a broadgeographic area, including Lesbos, Tenedos,the western and southerncoasts of theTroad, and theregion betweenthe bays of Adramyttion and Smyrna(Fig. 1).

As cities include different ethnic groups, cultures, social strata and occupational groups, the relations at individual and group levels differ in cities. The resulting individualization is the source of intergenerational conflict arising from value differences.
