Part of a 7 volume study of historical geography and a field survey of the Bayburt Province.; Iron technology and iron-making communities of the first millennium BC.; Note: each volume is complete in itself. This volume presents a framework for interpreting cultural development in the highlands of Anatolia from the earliest settlements to the recent past.

The second part deals with material culture. Beginning with an ...
