“…There was mostly a single knob, but two or three knobs were laid side-by-side in some examples. A similar knobbed decoration with Sumaki was found at Tell Hassuna Ia (Lloyd & Safar, 1945), Umm Dabaghiyah (Kirkbride, 1972), Tell Sotto (Bader, 1989), Yarim Tepe I (Merpert & Munchaev, 1987), Telul eth-Thalathat II (Hori, 1981), Tell Kashkashok II (Matsutani, 1991), Salat Cami Yanı Phase 3 (Miyake, 2011), and Mezraa-Teleilat Phase IIB (Aytek, 2008).…”

“…Although the Proto-Hassuna culture represents a regional tradition, it is not homogenous (Bader, 1993a). In terms of pottery, Oval Pots, Rectangular Vessels, and rounded carinas from Sumaki, which are thought to have been produced for cooking purposes, show some forms specific to the settlement.…”

“…Proto-Hassuna primarily refers to plant-tempered pottery that appeared in the Tigris Basin. However, after Braidwood (1945) identified Hassuna Ia as an early Neolithic phase, Proto-Hassuna and its characteristic plant-tempered pottery were adopted by Soviet archaeologists to encompass the initial Neolithic culture as a whole (Bader, 1993a). Although an earlier Pottery Neolithic phase has been identified over the last few decades, Proto-Hassuna is still a proper term for describing the Neolithic cultures that emerged in the last quarter of the 7 th millennium BCE.…”

“…The coarse, unburnished, buff-coloured Proto-Hassuna pottery was first found in the layers just above virgin soil at Tell Sotto, Kültepe (Bader, 1989), Yarim Tepe (Merpert & Munchaev, 1987), Telul et-Thalathat (Fukai & Matsutani, 1981), Tell Kashkashok (Furuyama, 1991) and Umm Dabaghiyah (Kirkbride, 1972) dating back to the second half / last quarter of the 7 th millennium BCE. Subsequent research has revealed many Proto-Hassuna sites in the Tigris Basin and provided more comprehensive information on the general characteristics of the culture (Figure 1).…”

“…Appliqué decorations in the form of crescents/horseshoes (Figure 18) were present at all Neolithic sites where knobbed decorations were found. In addition, there are also examples where the crescent/ horseshoe motif is painted on the vessel surface at Umm Dabaghiyah (Kirgbride, 1972), Tell Sotto (Bader, 1989), Tell Kaskashok II (Matsutani, 1991: Pl. 65.32), and Tell Shimshara (Mortensen, 1970: Fig.…”

The emergence of pottery has been regarded as the hallmark of the cultural changes explicitly related to the late 8th and the first quarter of the 7th millennium BCE in Southwest Asia. Accordingly, the initial pottery; mineral-tempered, holemouth-shaped, burnished and dark-surfaced vessels with lugs close to the mouth on both sides, appeared almost simultaneously in a series of settlements in Upper Mesopotamia and the Northern Levant in the first quarter of the 7th millennium BCE. Pottery production increased in the second quarter of the millennium, followed by the appearance of plant-tempered pottery after ca. 6.500 BCE. Plant-tempered pottery, spreading throughout Southwest Asia, symbolizes the diversification of pottery as much as we can speak of regional traditions. This study aims to define plant-tempered Proto-Hassuna pottery from Sumaki Höyük, located in the Upper Tigris Basin, to understand better the similarities and differences between the initial mineral-tempered and plant-tempered pottery groups, thus pointing out the possible regional characteristics of the assemblage.

ÖzMÖ. 7. binyıl pek çok bakımdan Yakın-Doğu Tarihi'nde bir dönüm noktasıdır. Zira 7. binyıl başlarken Çanak-Çömleksiz Neolitik (Erken Neolitik: MÖ. 10000-7000) tamamlanmış ve onun yerini Çanak-Çömlekli Neolitik (Geç Neolitik: MÖ. 7000-5500) almıştır. Geç Neolitik'te önceki devrin anıtsal mimarisinden ve mega-köylerinden eser yoktur. Bu yüzden MÖ 7. binyıl toplumlarının kültürel açıdan "gerileme" yaşadıkları ve karmaşık toplum adımlarının zayıfladığı yanılgısına düşülür. Oysa küçülen köylerde hareketli (yarı-göçebe) çobanlık uygulamalarına geçilmiş; avcı-toplayıcı pratikler zayıflamış, geçim ekonomisi büyük ölçüde çiftçilik-besiciliğe dayalı hale gelmiş; çömlek teknolojisi geliştikçe besin saklama ve taşıma olanakları artmış; ikincil ürünler devrimi sayesinde evcil hayvanların eti kadar sütü ve yününden de yararlanılır olmuştur. İklimdeki soğuma ve kuraklaşma, Neolitik toplumlarının doğaya karşı mukavemetini artıran bir faktördür. İşte böylesi dönüşümler çağında, Yukarı Mezopotamya ve Kuzey Levant'ta ilk çanakçömleklerin üretildiğini görüyoruz. Bu metnin odaklandığı tarih aralığı, ilk bölgesel kültürlerin ya da kültürel etkileşim evrenlerinin ortaya çıkışından hemen öncesidir. Makalenin amacı, Hassuna, Samarra ve Halaf kültürleri doğmadan önce, Akdeniz kıyılarından Kuzey Irak'a uzanan (Ras Şamra -Jarmo) 900 km.'lik bir hat boyunca kültürel temasın yoğunluğunu ve Geç Neolitik 1-2 (MÖ 7000-6300) toplumlarının bu sayede aynı geçim ekonomisi ve maddi kültürde birleştiklerini kanıtlamaktır.
