Ancient Settlement in Erzurum Province, Turkey

Rescue excavations made in 1944 revealed many levels down to the Early Bronze Age. The site gives its name to the red-black pottery "Karaz ware" of the Kura-Araxes culture of that time.

"The stratigraphy of Karaz is a problem. The lower levels of the mound date to the EBA 1 according to many archaeologists. The recovery of wares; named as "Karaz ware"; stratigraphically in the Late Chalcolithic Age; in Elazig Region; suggests that such pottery was existent since the end of the 4th Millennium BC in Eastern Anatolia Region. It is not possible to separate the 4th Millennium BC and the 3rd Millennium BC "Karaz ware" sherds for now."
