Bülövaqaya settlement is an archeological site located on the left bank of the Sarisu river, west of Göynük village of Babek district.[1]

Description

edit

Many features of the ceramic group found in the settlement, such as the technology of preparation, cooking, pattern, bear close resemblance to Dalma-type ceramics.[2] The painted ceramics found here are similar to the settlements in northwestern Iran characterized by Kul Tepe Jolfa,[3] Seh Gabi[4] and other Dalma-type[5][6] ceramics.[2] Archaeological excavations carried out in the settlement of Bülövqaya are important in terms of studying the distribution of Dalma culture in the South Caucasus.[2]
