The Chronology of the Neolithic Settlement at Tepecik-Çiftlik, Central Anatolia (Türkiye), Based on Radiocarbon Dating

Yasin Gökhan Çakan

This study uses radiocarbon dating to evaluate the Neolithic occupation sequence of Tepecik-Çiftlik Höyük, located in Central Anatolia. A total of 50 radiocarbon samples, most of which are presented here for the first time, were collected from different archaeological levels of the mound between 2004 and 2024. These results have been analyzed in conjunction with stratigraphic data. The findings demonstrate that the excavated levels of the site were continuously occupied between 7078 and 5989 cal BC. The study also discusses potential causes of inconsistencies observed in some radiocarbon results and proposes strategies for future sampling. Through the case of Tepecik Çiftlik, this research provides new contributions to the chronological framework of the Neolithic period in Central Anatolia.
