NEW RESEARCHES IN THE NORTH OF FERTILE CRESCENT: ADIYAMAN REGION

Summary/Abstract: Adıyaman is a region in the northernmost part of the Fertile Crescent that has been settled continuously since prehistoric times. In the region nearly all of the studies of Prehistoric and Protohistoric periods were carried out in the Euphrates valley, west of Adiyaman. Surveys started in 1977 under the Lower Euphrates Project continued with some rescue excavations. The last surveys in the area were conducted by the Tille excavation team between 1985-1988. New studies on prehistoric and protohistoric periods of Adıyaman have been resumed in 2013 after 25 years and still continue. The studies that started in the Central District primarily then headed to the west of Adıyaman and followed with the north. Finally, surveys continued on the eastern side of Adıyaman. Until 2016, 78 archaeological sites were examined. Of these, 38 were first brought to the archaeological literature by our research team.
