The Megaron and Apsidal House in Early Bronze Age Western Anatolia: New Evidence from Karataş

Numerous houses of megaron and apsidal plan have been excavated recently at Karataş in SW Turkey. These Early Bronze Age houses provide new information about the plan and construction of the two building types, especially details of wattle-and-daub construction, a technique previously unattested in this area, and evidence for the use of gabled roofs on the megara. An examination of the Early Bronze Age (and earlier) architecture of Thessaly and SE Europe indicates that the architectural tradition of this area is closely related in both plan and technique to the megaron and apsidal tradition of Early Bronze Age W Anatolia. A similarity in village organization also provides a link between the two areas.
