description Acemhöyük is located on the southern tip of Tuz Gölü in the Aksaray Plain and was one of the largest trading centers during the Assyrian Trade Colonies. Excavations that have been conducted along the southern slope of the mound have revealed several Early Bronze Age layers under the Hellenistic and Assyrian Trade Colonies period deposits. The Early Bronze Age layers of Acemhöyük have yielded a large number of archaeological finds that indicate cultural and commercial relations extending beyond Central Anatolia. The Syrian bottle recovered from Level XI is one of these finds. Syrian bottles are one of the well-known and widely distributed vessel forms of the ancient Near East. They have been attested to in several Early Bronze Age sites distributed over a wide geographical area and thus are considered one of the distinctive archaeological object groups that are useful for understanding cultural and commercial relations alongside the chronological issues of the related period. The following article presents a typological and technical discussion on the Syrian bottle that was recovered from Level XI at Acemhöyük. As a result, the Acemhöyük bottle appears to have been connected to bottles that were distributed in Northwestern Syria.
