    Chipped stone assemblages of Kortik Tepe (Turkey)
    (Elsevier, 2018) Kartal, Metin; Kartal, Gizem; Coskun, Aytac; Carter, Tristan; Sahin, Feridun; Ozkaya, Vecihi
    Kortik Tepe is a low mound on the Tigris in Southeastern Turkey, dated to the end of the 11th and the 10th millennia BC. The lithic assemblage from the earliest level at Kortik Tepe is late epi-Palaeolithic in character, and dates to the Younger Dryas. The levels above are dated to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A [PPNA] period, strata that produced rich lithic industries, hundreds of zoomorphic and anthropomorphic decorated stone vessels, un-decorated stone vessels, decorated ritual bone objects, thousands of marine shell beads and several kinds of stone beads, animal decorated stone plaques, bone tools, bone fishing hooks, perforated stones large and small in size, and many kinds of mortars and pestles. This paper represents the first detailed report of Kortik Tepe's chipped stone assemblages.

    Networks and Neolithisation: sourcing obsidian from Kortik Tepe (SE Anatolia)
    (Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2013) Carter, Tristan; Grant, Sarah; Kartal, Metin; Coskun, Aytac; Ozkaya, Vecihi
    This paper details the use of obsidian sourcing to reconstruct networks of interaction (or 'communities of practice') amongst populations of south-eastern Anatolia and the Near East in the context of 'Neolithisation' during the late 11th-early 10th millennia BC. EDXRF was used to elementally characterise 120 artefacts of Epi-Palaeolithic - Pre-Pottery Neolithic A date from Kortik Tepe in south-eastern Anatolia. Four eastern Anatolian sources are represented, mainly Bingal A/B and Nemrut Dag, plus the first evidence for the use of Mus obsidian. When the source data is integrated with the artefacts' techno-typological attributes it is possible to locate the assemblage within an Upper Tigris tradition (with some interesting local differences), which stands in stark contrast to contemporary practices in northern Mesopotamia and the Levant. These local and regional distinctions support recent views of the Neolithic being much more heterogeneous, with a 'mosaic' of community-specific/local traditions of subsistence practices, raw material choices and lithic technologies during the Younger Dryas-Early Holocene.
