摘要

The Painted Decorated Ware (hereafter PDW) tradition in Western Anatolia represents distinctive ceramic production techniques and decorative styles, featuring a large number of geometric motifs. Originating at the beginning of the 16th century BCE, this tradition gained increasing importance during the Late Bronze Age, particularly from the 14th to the 12th centuries BCE. This study discusses the production and technological characteristics of Late Bronze Age PDW from Aşağıseyit Höyük, located in the Çal district of Denizli Province, Western Anatolia. As the first comprehensive archaeometric analysis of PDW from the Upper Meander Basin, this research provides valuable insights into local ceramic traditions and technological practices. A representative selection of 35 samples from a collection of 150 PDW fragments from Aşağıseyit Höyük was analyzed through a multidisciplinary archaeometric methods, including petrographic, X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), and X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) analyses. The results revealed five distinct fabric groups, indicating varied strategies for raw material procurement, with a predominant use of local clay sources. XRPD analyses indicated that the ceramics were primarily fired at temperatures ranging between 800 and 850 °C, under both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. The results demonstrate the presence of a well-established local tradition of painted ceramics, characterized by regional stylistic preferences rather than by direct external influences such as Mycenaean or Hittite ceramic production.
