Özet
Gre Filla, located to the south of the Southeast Taurus range, was in-habited by settled hunter-gatherers. Period V dates to 9300-8800 cal. BC, and Period IV to 8800-7550 cal. BC. The wild animal bones indicate beside hunting, the early domes-tication. Period V has pit-shelters and a communal structure, and Period IVD, pit-shel-ters, single-room structures with rounded comers and communal pit-structures. Burials under the floors are attested in both periods. Periods IVC-B is planned as quadrangular dwellings surrounding communal pit-structures. The structures were burned and filled, each re-built into the fill of the previous one. The communal pit-structures became common open places in Period IVA, and the dwellings became larger. Chipped stone tools include obsidian and flintstone, the ground stone artefacts grinding stones, pestles, hammers, flat axes, plaques, grooved stones, labrets and beads. Bone was used for awls and decorated plaques, and horns for sickle or hilts. Copper chisels point to early metal-lurgy. The finds and special structures require skilled craftsmanship, indicating a complex society.
