The Celts migrated to Anatolia beginning in the early third century B.C.. They were pagan when they settled in, and they named their settlements after pagan gods. One of these settlements was Arvalu named after Arvalus a medicinal and agricultural deity in Celtic mythology. The villagers have preserved the rituals and verbal culture of their Celtic origin for centuries, in spite of the Roman and Ottoman Era, up until now.

It explores the historical developments that ensued from these interactions, investigates the migration routes of various ethnic groups, and reveals the connection between these events and present-day place names in Turkey. This archaeolinguistic study focuses on the effect of Jewish, Nordic and Celtic cultures on the place names of especially southwest Anatolia.

The Early Bronze Age burials excavated in Troy and Alacahöyük sites are analyzed to decide which social organization type they belonged to. Troy and Alacahöyük are classified as chiefdom societies because of so much demonstration of wealth of the ones who stands higher than the society, and not as segmentary societies because the wealth is not distributed to ordinary villages. The ritual grave goods demonstrate that the priest and the chief are the same person. Religion played a consolidating role in the development of chiefdoms not a creative one. The slaves and ordinary people believed in the chief's sanctuary.

Repetition of a certain sound for many years would change the structure of our vocal system and even the wrinkles in our faces. Adapting a new sound system would be hard for the ones who already formed their vocal structure, thus the negative transfer of phonology will occur. Producing some sounds may cause strong lines and wrinkles on the face, instead of these sounds if the speaker articulates a lesser strong one or the counterpart of the sound in other languages may lead to unsightly lines. This prevention should have more advanced development in reducing the wrinkles than the anti-wrinkle cream. By analyzing the faces of the speakers one may predict the native language of the speaker. Even by investigating ancient statues, the distinctive sounds or maybe the phonological chart of an extinct language that those peoples speaks may be analyzed
