Abstract

The aim of the thesis is the reconstruction of the diets and the modality of food’s consumption in Arslantepe (Malatya, Oriental Turkey) during the Ancient Bronze Age (3000-2000 BC). A functional approach to the study of vessels is used to investigate cooking habits, domestic behavior and social context of food consumption with the purpose to underline the different meaning and the symbolic value that the food assumes in the different social and economic contexts of the site of Arslantepe. This approach is tightly linked to the technological and morphological typology of ceramics and with the traces of use present on the vessels. The creation of functional categories and distinct vessels classes is necessary for clarify the social organization and the management of the domestic life in a particular moment, the Early Bronze Age, during which political and organizational structures of the societies of the Middle and High Euphrates seem to suffer strong changes.
