Groundstone tools recovered during the Uşak Protohistoric Period Survey Project

This study, which examines the surface finds thought to be stone tools collected within the scope of the Uşak Protohistoric Period Survey Project [UDPAP], aims to obtain data that will provide insight into the Protohistoric period human life in Uşak. Regionally, the project comprises the Banaz and Merkez districts, covering the eastern, central and northern parts of Uşak province, and historically the chronology from the Neolithic to the end of the Late Iron Age. In this thesis, the production process, raw materials, typology and technology of the stone tools are interpreted. Thus, some inferences about the functions of the tools and the daily life in the protohistory of the region and the workforce harmonized with the ground stone technology were tried to be enlightened.
