Early to Middle Bronze Age Anatolia (3000-1700 B.C.)

	1. Copper alloy stag with electrum and gold inlay from the "Royal Cemetery," Alaca Hüyük. Ca. 2500-2300 B.C. The tombs at Alaca Hüyü in central Anatolia are those of a proto-Hittite local dynasty.
	2. Copper objects from the same tombs at Alaca. These objects may have been fitted on poles as standards, perhaps associated with solar leadership functions.
	3. Bronze standard. Ca. 2100 B.C. Cental Anatolia.
	4. Polychrome pottery urn in the "Cappadocian Style" from Kültepe. Ankara Museum. An era of Luvian migration at end of third millenium is associated with a decline in Southwestern Anatolian culture, but central and northern areas were unaffected. For example, the early Middle Bronze Kültepe site of the late 3rd to early 2nd millenium B.C. flourished.
	5. Steatite mould from the Kültepe karum probably for the production of clay plaques. A set of three Anatolian deities. Ankara Museum. The karum was an Assyrian merchant office at Kültepe, established there to import Anatolian metal and other products by the road passing through Harran.
	6. Terracotta lion rhyton from Kültepe karum. Ankara Museum. This is an example of the highly polished monochrome finish technique.
