Ancient Village in Samsun, Turkey.Bronze Age settlement. The village was home to about 300 people at its peak, around 3200 to 2100 BC. Artefacts found here include ceramics, bronze rings and bracelets, bone needles, figurines, javelin points, and other metal implements.
The villages lived in rectangular, single-storey houses made of logs, each with a courtyard and oven.
A website for Samsun shows a hilltop, semi-subterranean stone building as well. Ikiztepe Kazisi website.
Note: Dr. Önder Bilgi talks about his discovery of a razor-sharp 4000-year-old scalpel. See comment.
