Painted pottery traditions at Sirkeli Höyük in the 2nd Millennium BC

This article presents the painted pottery traditions at Sirkeli Höyük throughout the 2nd millennium BC. Since the excavations and material studies in Sirkeli Höyük are ongoing, only a preliminary overview can be given. Although found in every assemblage, painted pottery constitutes a small proportion of the assemblages both in the Middle and Late Bronze Ages. Represented painted wares/styles/decorations include the so-called Syro-Cilician Painted Ware in the Middle Bronze Age and Red Slip/Red-edged/Red- banded, Monochrome or Bichrome Painted Wavy-line, and Cross-hatched Wares of the Late Bronze Age. © the authors and Archaeopress 2022.
