This volume presents the results of the Bryn Mawr College excavations of the Early Bronze Age site of Karatas in the plain of Elmali in northern Lycia. It is a final report of the pottery, except for miniature vessels. The occupation at Karatas has been divided into six main periods (I-VI) on the basis of stratigraphy of the Central Mound. Periods I-III date to EB I, Periods IV and V to EB II, and Period VI to EB III. The pottery showed continuous development during the entire span of settlement, mainly in the addition of new features to a basically conservative repertoire.
