Context (Analysis)
Müge Bulu Akar, PhD candidate at Koç University, Turkey examined these sherds in November 2018. She noted that they are not Atchana simple ware, and do not date to the 2nd millennium BC unlike Z 16007.1-2 [A-B]. She believes that they are either not from Atchana at all, or perhaps came from the topsoil. It should be noted that, unlike Z 16007.1-2 [A-B], these sherds are not marked 'Atchana' and the catalogue card does say '?Atchana'. The Period field therefore remains unpopulated and the Place field has been modified to make Atchana tentative.
