The HBH excavations are also very important in that they are helping to provide a framework for a more accurate evaluation of the large number of small finds, especially pottery, that have been uncovered in excavations or found in other ways in inner Western Anatolia since the first half of the last century.

Abstract

In the 2015 season work was concentrated in trench A-B (A-BA), which had been opened up on the highest point of the höyük in earlier years, and in the Western Slope Trench (BYA). In order to study the architectural remains of the EBA I settlement in the middle of Trench A-BA in more detail, the central and northern sections of this trench were dug down deeper and the foundations of a EBA I building group consisting of at least three rooms and, at the northern end, a long narrow free standing rectangular building were uncovered.At the southern end of BYA, the external walls of the G 14 casemate that were uncovered in the previous season were followed and it was established that the zigzag shaped defence wall system continued in a southern direction. As a result of work carried out at the northern end of the same trench, a 40 m long section was uncovered (the Northern Slope Trench - KYA) and it was determined that the defence system in this new area continued in the same way. By the end of the 2015 excavation season, the total length of the saw edged defence system with casemates had reached 220 m.The HBH excavations have yielded very significant results, especially in the areas of the characteristics of EBA I architecture and small finds. This means that our knowledge of the earliest period of EBA in the region, which until recently was virtually unknown, has greatly increased. The defence architecture characteristics in particular provide remarkable insights that are significant not only for this region but for Anatolia as whole. The HBH excavations are also very important in that they are helping to provide a framework for a more accurate evaluation of the large number of small finds, especially pottery, that have been uncovered in excavations or found in other ways in inner Western Anatolia since the first half of the last century.

Özet

2015 döneminde, höyüğün en yüksek kesiminde daha önceki yıllarda açılmasına başlanmış olan A-B Açması (A-BA) ile höyüğün batı yamaçlarındaki Batı Yamaç Açması'nda (BYA) çalışmalar yoğunlaştırılmıştır. A-BA'nın ortalarında varlığı bilinen İTÇ I yerleşmesinin mimarlık kalıntılarının daha ayrıntılı incelenmesi amacıyla açmanın orta ve kuzey kesimlerinde derinleşilmiş ve İTÇ I yerleşmesinin en az 3 odalı bir yapı grubunun temelleri ile kuzey uçta, dar uzun dikdörtgen planda bağımsız bir yapı ortaya çıkartılmıştır.BYA'nın güney ucunda bir önceki yıl açılan G 14 kazamatının dış duvarları izlenmiş ve zig zaglar çizen sur sisteminin güneye doğru devam ettiği kesinleşmiştir. Aynı açmanın kuzey ucunda yapılan çalışmalar sonunda 40 m uzunluğunda bir kesim açılmış, bu yeni alanda da (Kuzey Yamaç Açması - KYA), savunma sisteminin aynı yöntemle geliştiği saptanmıştır. 2015 kazı sezonu sonunda kazamatlı, testere dişli sur sisteminin toplam uzunluğu 220 m'ye ulaşmıştır.Hacılar Büyük Höyük kazılarının sonuçları, ağırlıklı olarak İTÇ I döneminin mimari nitelikleri ve küçük buluntuları konusunda çok önemli sonuçlar vermeye devam etmektedir. Bu nedenle bölgenin yakın zamana kadar hakkında çok az şey bilinen İTÇ'nin bu en erken dönemi konusundaki bilgilerimiz önemli oranda artmaktadır. Özellikle kent savunmasıyla ilgili uygulamalar sadece bölge için değil, tüm Anadolu için bilinmeyen pek çok konu hakkında çarpıcı bilgiler vermektedir. Hacılar Büyük Höyük kazıları İç Batı Anadolu'da geçen yüzyılın ilk yarısından bu yana kazılar ya da başka şekillerde ele geçmiş olan çok sayıda küçük buluntunun, özellikle de çanak çömleğin doğru olarak değerlendirilebilmesi bakımından büyük önem taşımaktadır.
