Late Bronze Age seals and sealings from Aegean Anatolia (the western part of western Anatolia) are a very heterogeneous collection of finds. Especially widespread are seals belonging to the Aegean tradition, including earlier hard stone seals and later soÁ stone lentoids related to the Mycenaean Mainland Popular Group. Also represented are seals executed in the central Anatolian style, which, however, arrive later to the area of study. In both groups, imports as well as local production are aested, and some seals show individual features. e spread of these objects is related to various factors, such as commercial and cultural exchange, but also political and military impacts. Participation in long-distance trade networks is confirmed by the presence of seals coming from the eastern Mediterranean.

This contribution presents the results of a pilot study of earthen materials excavated at the Middle to Late Bronze Age site of Kaymakçı, located in western Anatolia. It argues that systematic collection and analysis of fragmentary and difficult to identify earthen materials is challenging, yet crucial. These materials inform on activities of which traces are preserved in the archaeological record but which have been largely under researched. Flourishing studies on earthen findings foreground architectural materials, such as mudbrick, and well preserved features and objects. However, earthen objects and architectural features were utilized more widely than in building architecture and only a small portion of excavated sites has good preservation. We, therefore, present the different categories of earthen materials discovered at Kaymakçı, specifically ar chitecture, installations, and portable items. Our work demonstrates that by incorporating new knowledge of archaeological remains at the site and re studying the earthen assemblage it is possible to gain a better understanding of the morphological, functional, and social aspects of this dataset.
