Initial Provenance:
Pleiades

Details:

Four occupational horizons have been identified at Kumtepe (Kumtepe IA, IB, IC and II). The initial settlement was established ca. 4800 B.C. but then abandoned ca. 4500 B.C. The site was re-settled around 3700 B.C. This "Kumtepe B" culture used large houses that had multiple rooms and they practiced both animal husbandry and cultivation. There may be connections between Kumtepe and the settlement of Yassıtepe and Hisarlık (Troy) around 3000 B.C.
