New Generation Prehistoric Investigations at Avla Dağ: Preliminary Observations

The geological surveys of Avla Dağ conducted by Giorgio Pasquare for the General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration (MTA) in 1963–1964 revealed dense traces of a lithic tool industry based on obsidian. Ian A. Todd, who comprehensively surveyed central Anatolia, analyzed the lithic mater...

description The geological surveys of Avla Dağ conducted by Giorgio Pasquare for the General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration (MTA) in 1963–1964 revealed dense traces of a lithic tool industry based on obsidian. Ian A. Todd, who comprehensively surveyed central Anatolia, analyzed the lithic material collected. Todd and Pasquare jointly published their results in Anatolian Studies in 1965, in a paper titled “The Chipped Stone Industry of Avla Dağ.” In the subsequent 55 years, Avla Dağ was never investigated again archaeologically, and it was presumed that the prehistoric findings at Avla Dağ were covered with soil due to erosion. Avla Dağ was surveyed again in 2019 in the Nevşehir Neolithic Survey (NENESU) Project using modern technology. The results indicated central Volcanic Cappadocia’s role in Cappadocian prehistory. This article aims to present the preliminary observations on prehistoric Avla Dağ based on the 2019 survey.
