Erken dönemlerden itibaren yerleşime sahne olmuş bu bölge arkeoloji literatüründe «Doğu Kapadokya» olarak da adlandırılmaktadır. Bölgenin başlıca kaynağı olan Kızılırmak nehri, vadisi ve çevresindeki yüksek platolar yerleşimler için tercih edilen alanlardır. Kızılırmak, İç Anadolu Bölgesinin doğu ve batı kesiminde doğal bir sınır oluşturmuştur. Nehrin doğusunda ve batısında erken dönemlerden itibaren farklı kültürel oluşumlar izlenebilmektedir. Bölgede yapılan yüzey araştırmaları ve sınırlı sayıdaki kazılar, Sivas ve çevresinin farklı bölgelere yakınlığı sebebiyle yerel niteliklerinin yanı sıra doğusunda Doğu Anadolu, batısında ise Orta Anadolu kültürel özellikleri de göstermektedir. M. Ö. 2. bin yılda Hitit Devletinin merkezi bir sistem oluşturduğu tarihsel süreçte Sivas ve çevresi Hitit bölgesi içerisinde yer almıştır. Hitit yazılı belgelerinden anlaşıldığına göre bu bölge Yukarı Ülke olarak bahsedilen alana dahildir.

during the 3rd and 2nd Millenia BC. The habitation history of the site reflects various gaps. The 2nd
Millennium BC. settlement of Bağlararası reflects 2 different levels dating to the second quarter of the
Millennium (CB 2 and CB 1) and seperated from each other by a severe earthquake horizon. The earlier
CB 2 level revealed the presence of a local western Anatolian coastal settlement while CB 1 reflects a
phase with strong Minoan / Minoanizing elements just like in many other coastal settlements around the
Aegean. Unlike the “international spirit” of the 2nd millennium, the 3rd Millennium BC. settlement (CB
3) reflects a local character with very little maritime contacts.

Its impact, consequences, and timing have dominated the discourse of ancient Mediterra- nean studies for nearly a century. Despite the eruption’s high intensity (Volcanic Explosivity Index 7; Dense Rock Equivalent of 78 to 86 km) [T. H. Druitt, F. W. McCoy, G. E. Vougioukalakis, Ele- ments 15, 185–190 (2019)] and tsunami-generating capabilities [K. Minoura et al., Geology 28, 59–62 (2000)], few tsunami deposits are reported. In contrast, descriptions of pumice, ash, and tephra deposits are widely published. This mismatch may be an artifact of interpretive capabilities, given how rapidly tsunami sedimentol- ogy has advanced in recent years. A well-preserved volcanic ash layer and chaotic destruction horizon were identified in stratified deposits at C ̧es ̧me-Bag!lararası, a western Anatolian/Aegean coastal archaeological site. To interpret these deposits, archaeo- logical and sedimentological analysis (X-ray fluorescence spectros- copy instrumental neutron activation analysis, granulometry, micropaleontology, and radiocarbon dating) were performed. According to the results, the archaeological site was hit by a series of strong tsunamis that caused damage and erosion, leaving behind a thick layer of debris, distinguishable by its physical, bio- logical, and chemical signature. An articulated human and dog skeleton discovered within the tsunami debris are in situ victims related to the Late Bronze Age Thera eruption event. Calibrated radiocarbon ages from well-constrained, short-lived organics from within the tsunami deposit constrain the event to no earlier than 1612 BCE. The deposit provides a time capsule that demonstrates the nature, enormity, and expansive geographic extent of this cat- astrophic event.

The province of Osmaniye encompasses the northeastern part of the plain. The modern settlements of Osmaniye are mostly situated on the lower slopes of the mountains, while the plain is a maze of irrigation channels where numerous prehistoric mounds are located. These prehistoric mounds, together with other archaeological remains in Osmaniye have been recorded and listed by the Osmaniye Archaeological Survey project since 2005. The survey documented thirty mounds in three years dating to the Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, as well as monuments dating to the Classical and Medieval periods. The fi rst fi ve mounds documented in 2005, Kamışlı, Kırmıtlı, Karataşlı, Şemsi and Telkovan, are the subject of the present study, with a focus on the prehistoric pottery collected at these sites. In addition to pottery sherds, the Osmaniye survey collected small fi nds from the surface such as obsidian and fl int tools. The fi nds indicate that man settled in Osmaniye as early as the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods.
