Abstract

This is a first report on the chemical analysis and clustering of ceramic sherds and some soils derived from the stratigraphy from Ulucak Hoyuk Neolithic settlement. The habitation in this site extends from Early Neolithic/Late Neolithic to Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age period. Two obsidian hydration dates are also reported applying the SIMS-SS technique.

More than one clay sources were exploited either within the LN period or in other periods and some persisted been used throughout the entire occupational time.
