The Galena Objects from Neolithic Ulucak: The Earliest Metallic Finds in Western Turkey

ÖZLEM ÇEVİK – MURAT DİRİCAN – AYDIN ULUBEY – OSMAN VURUŞKAN*

Abstract

The earliest metal finds in central and east-ern Anatolia are small copper and malachite beads dating from the 9th millennium BC on-wards.However,thepresenceofmetallicfindsinNeolithiccontextsfromwesternAnatoliaare rarely known. An analysis of metallic finds fromUlucakHöyükshowsthatgalenawasused at the site from the early 7th millennium BCtotheearly6thmillenniumBC.Objectsmade of galena from initial phases at the site are considered personal ornaments, while an increasing number of galena lumps in rela-tion to ovens were found in later phases. Thus, galenafindsfromUlucakHöyüksuggestthatat first this raw material seemed to have been perceivedasanexotic“stone”,whileafullun-derstanding of its properties may have been developed later.

IntroductionArchaeological evidence suggests a series of developmental sequences can be traced between thefirstappearanceofmetalobjectsandtheonsetofextractivemetallurgies.Theearliestmetalfinds found in Anatolia date from the 9th millennium BC and are small copper and malachite beads.1Theuseofnativecopperthenbecamewidespreadduringthelate7th/early6thmillen-niumBC,withexamplesfoundfromIrantoEurope.2 During the Neolithic, most of the copper objectswereshapedbycold-hammering.Some,however,likethosefromÇayönüandAşıklıdatingtothe8thmillenniumBC,wereclearlymadefromannealednativecopper.3

Galena(aleadsulfideore,PbS)isonenaturalmetalfoundinNeolithiccontextsfromtheNear East. When compared to the abundance of copper and malachite artefacts, galena objects haveonlybeenrecordedattwoNeolithicsettlements(fig.1).ThreegalenaballswithtextileimpressionsareknownfromTell-HalulainnorthernSyria.4 These balls, found in burial con-texts,aredatedtothelatestPPNBphases-theendofthe8thmillenniumBC.InÇatalhöyükthirteengalenabeads,firstmistakenlyidentifiedaslead,werefoundinLevelVIB,datingtoaround the mid-7th millennium BC.5Moreover,apieceofgalenafoundnexttoalimestonefigurineinaspecialdepositfromtheupperlevelsofÇatalhöyük(LevelIII)indicateslong-termuse of this raw material at the site.6

ca. 1 ha with 11 m of stratigraphic sequence.9 The Neolithic occupation at the site, which is designatedbyLevelsVIthroughIV,isdatedfrom6850to5670calBC.Theanalysisofthece-reals and the animal bones prove that the subsistence at the site was based on a fully-fledged agricultural system, starting from the basal layers onwards.10

MetallicfindshavebeenfoundinLevelVI(6850-6500calBC)andLevelIV(6000-5670calBC).Theirabsenceinbetween(LevelV)maybetheresultofexcavationbias.Therearefiveworked metallic finds (fig. 3), with the remaining objects (n=25) considered metallic lumps (fig. 4 and table 1). The total weight for the metallic lumps is about 1.5 kgs. The measurement oftheselumpsishighlyvaried,fromsmall(0.65x0.29cm)tolarge(7.31x3.78cm).

Threemetallicpendantsbelongtotheearliestoccupation,LevelVI(fig.3a,bande).These personal ornaments are of particular significance as they represent the earliest port-ablesymbolicmediaatUlucak.LevelVIisrepresentedbytwoadjacentbuildings(Buildings42 and 43) flanked by open spaces with fire installations.11 Building 42, and the adjacent fire installations, were rebuilt three times while the earliest phase was contemporary with Building 43.Scatteredanimalbonessurroundingthefireinstallationssuggestthattheywereusedforcooking. These buildings, with lime-plastered and red-painted floors and walls, are thought to have been of communal character. Both buildings seem to have been deliberately left clean and covered with a green and sterile layer. No pottery or other clay objects were attested in this earliest phase at the site. One of the pendants has a triangular shape (fig. 3a) and was found in an ashy deposit around the hearth in an open space located at the southern end of Building 43. Two of the pendants are stylized human (figs. 3b and 5) and lozenge shaped (fig. 3e)andwereuncoveredinathinfilllyingbetweenBuilding40inLevelVeandthewallde-brisofBuilding42inLevelVI.ThesependantsareconsideredwithinthecontextofBuilding42, as Building 40 was directly built on the wall debris of the former building. Archaeological evidence found in relation to Buildings 42 and 43 suggest that they were ritually abandoned. This includes the deliberate placement of objects as part of ritual abandonment of Building 42 and 43 including grinding stones and specific animal bones such as scapulae and mandibles. Additionally, stone beads, grinding stones, and animal bones found in a special deposit above Building54inUlucakVdprovidefurtherevidencethatpersonalornamentswerepartofbuild-ing closure deposits.

Most of these in situfindscamefromBuildings61and66wherepotteryproductioninspecializedanddomesticcontextstookplace.Theovensin these buildings, however, appear to have been primarily used for pigment production seen by traces of red pigment on oven bases and a heavy concentration of red hematite lumps sur-roundingtheovens.Thesuddenincreaseinquantityofmetalliclumpsafter6000BC,andtheircontextualrelationshipwithovens,issignificantgiventheconnectionbetweenmetalliclumpsand pottery production, but their connection is yet unknown.

Metallic Ore Sources and Chemical Analysis of the Ulucak SamplesEvidence for mining and metallurgical activities in Anatolia dates back to prehistoric peri-ods.13However,metallicsourcesareparticularlyrichintheeasternandnortheasternregionsof Anatolia where such activities are more intensely observed both in the past and present. Nevertheless,thesourcesandexploitationofcopper,gold,silver,leadandzinchavealsobeenreported in western Anatolia.14

The main mineral components of the other modern sample, Modern 2, were determined as pyrite,barite,smithsonite,quartzandcalcite.Thesearenotlead-containingminerals.However,these minerals are associated with the galena mineral.

Native lead is rarely encountered. The principal ore of lead is galena (lead sulphide), which, when it occurs in hydro-thermal veins, is frequently associated with silver ore minerals. Cerussite (lead carbonate) is an important, widely distributed secondary ore mineral of lead formed by the action of carbonated waters on galena.21 Galena has a distinct silver color and a bright metallic luster, while it is relatively soft, heavy mineral.22 The manufacturing techniques
