    First Observations on the Excavations in the Terrace Area of Uluköy Cave, Mardin/Türkiye
    (University Chicago Press, 2025) Kodas, Ergul; Erbil, Esref; Kodas, Charlotte Labedan; San, Mehmet
    The emergence of sedentary societies in southeastern Anatolia has been the focus of numerous studies in recent years, particularly those concentrating on Early Neolithic mound settlements located along the riverbanks of the Euphrates Basin and the Tigris Valley. However, research on the Late Epipaleolithic communities in this region remains limited. Currently, our knowledge of the early phase of the transition to sedentary lifestyle in southeastern Anatolia is based on information gathered from only five archaeological sites, most of which are situated along the Tigris: K & ouml;rtik Tepe, & Ccedil;emka H & ouml;y & uuml;k, Boncuklu Tarla, Biris Mezarligi, and S & ouml;g & uuml;t Tarlasi. Recently, the excavation of Ulukoy Cave in 2023 and 2024, located in the Mardin Range, led to the discovery of Epipaleolithic architectural features and lithic tools in its terrace. This article presents our initial observations from this archaeological site.
