According to estimation, the Pulur-Sakyol Höyük in
the region was a small village that housed a tribe
which was part of the local chiefdom during the Early
Bronze Age.
The village had the so called "Anatolian Style" houses
which were in a tightly packed and inward facing
architectural ground plan in order to function as a
defense mechanism. The walls were built on top of
a single row of stone foundation and they were built
with either mud mortar or mudbricks-and they rarely
had wooden beams inside to suppo; he wall. The
flat roofs were carried by the wallsbnå the posts in
the room. The rooms led to a
patio (an architectural feature where two sideulidthe
top are enclosed but the front is open). Plastered crop
pits were found near every house.
Sacred hearths (shrines) were found in the shape of
a sitting human statue in some houses. The figurines
that were found shows us that the Sakyol-Pulur
people were worshipping the fertility goddess and
her spouse. Tunceli Museum, Turkey
