Toys in Western Anatolia in Early Bronze Age

In this thesis, toys or artefacts potentially considered as toys have been studied in Western Anatolia during the Bronze Age. Early Bronze Age happened in Western Anatolia and its neighbouring lands at different times. As a result of studies spanning from past to today, there are different suggestions about the exact dating of EBA; however. the chronological discrepancies between dates are more subtle today. Because of having more clear informations about after Bronze Age periods; studies on toys and games can give more definite and accurate results. It is a hard task to identify an artefact as a toy in Western Anatolia during Bronze Age as writing was not used yet. With the help of new studies, the possibility of identifiying some artefacts as toys called idols or figurines before is an area that demands further study.
