8000 years old fingerprints found in Ulucak Mound in Izmir
Excavations continue in the 8850-year-old Ulucak Mound, the oldest settlement in Izmir. It was understood that the structure unearthed during the excavations at Ulucak Mound in the Kemalpasa district is the oldest ceramic production workshop. Fingerprints of the pottery masters who lived in the city 8000 years ago were also found on the dough used in the production of ceramics. The head of the excavation, Prof. Dr. Ozlem Cevik stated that the workshop is very important as it physically demonstrates the first specialization in ceramic production.
