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
