The Late Chalcolithic Pottery from the Sites of Kavaklı and Yumurta Tepe in the Province of Edirne, Eastern Thrace

Abstract

Eastern Thrace acts as a land bridge between Southeast Europe and Anatolia. Along this land bridge, it might be expected that there has been movement of objects and materials, transference of ideas, trade, and migrations of peoples between two continents.In 1995 a prehistoric survey was carried out in the province of Edirne, Eastern Thrace, by the University of Thrace, Department of Archaeology. The Late Chalcolithic pottery from Yumurta Tepe und Kavaklı presented here was collected during this survey. This group supplies a missing link in the pottery sequence of Eastern Thrace.
