“Coba” Type Scraped Bowls at Güvercinkayas？

Güvercinkayas？ is a central Anatolian hilltop settlement dated to the Middle and Late Chalcolithic periods. The relatively well-preserved level I and level II of the settlement are dated to the Middle Chalcolithic Period (cal. 5200-4820 BC). Mud brick architectural remains, small finds and pottery of the level III indicate the beginning of a new period, which brought a foreign “influence” to the site. "Coba" type scraped bowls, which are discussed here, are studied extensively as a part of PhD thesis titled “Güvercinkayas？ settlement in the context of the Ubaid cultural expansion: The Interaction of Güvercinkayas？ and the Ubaid”. The PhD thesis is based on the architectural remains, pottery, small finds and pot burials of Güvercinkayas？ level III. Scraped vessels of Güvercinkayas？ include tray, plate, bowl, deep bowl, pot and pithos vessels. Diversity of these shapes distinct Güvercinkayas？ from most of the contemporary sites. The Coba-type scraped bowl, which is one of the most distinctive indicators of the PostUbaid period, is the second most common group of Güvercinkayas？ level III pottery. Tournette (slow wheel) made Coba-type bowls were produced in three different standardized types. Similar types are to be observed from the Late-Ubaid period through the Post-Ubaid until the beginning of the LC 2 phase. Similarities and intensive connections between Güvercinkayas？ and contemporary sites at the end of the Ubaid period and post-Ubaid (LC 1) period clearly indicate that prevailing perceptions and new practices observed on Coba type bowls reached central Anatoli
