Kösk Höyük was possibly an important obsidian trade center both in the Neolithic and in the Chalcolithic Periods. The mother goddess figurines; bulls' heads and polychrome ceramics at the site of Kösk Höyük have many similarities with the sites of Çatalhöyük; Can Hasan and Hacilar. Layer III in Kösk Höyük resembles the Late Neolithic at Çatalhöyük while Layer I and II show parallelisms with Çatalhöyük West; Can Hasan (2B) and the Early Chalcolithic at Hacilar.
