| Shrnutí: | Neolithic Age sites in the Upper Tigris Basin have significantly increased in number over the past few years, not least because of rescue excavations related to the Ilısu Dam Project undertaken over the last decade. The resultant data has produced significant new information about this hitherto little documented period in the region. Boncuklu Tarla was discovered in 2008 during a field survey, with excavations beginning in 2012. This paper details the knapped stone assemblage from a single season of excavation, material that shed important light on the Pre- Pottery Neolithic B of the Upper Tigris Basin, adding to the information we previously knew from the important site of Çayönü. |
