Abstract :Över the last thirty-five years the archaeological terminology for the successive periods of Anatolia’s cultural development has been somewhat altered from the old sequence: Chalcolithic, Copper Age, Hittite and Phrygian periods. The old Chalcolithic or Late Chalcolithic of Alişar and Büyük Güllücek have been renamed Early Bronze I and the royal tombs at Alaca Höyük and Horoztepe now fail in Early Bronze III.This period is represented at Kültepe by a different culture wlth Intermediate (painted) ware, the predecessor of the Cappadocian or Alişar III ware (önce called EBA), now reassigned to the early Karum period in the Middle Bronze Age.Keywords : INTERPRETATION, ANATOLIA, CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
