Abstract :The skeletons from building layer IX of Şeyh Höyük (Tell Esh Sheikh), which are of Chalcolithic Age, were previously studied by me and Tunakan. In this earlier study the long bones of these skeletons, which are contemporaneous with the Tell Halaf culture, Were described only briefly. As during the course of a recent survey on the Chalcolithic skeletons from Anatolia, I observed the presence of some archaic traits in these skeletons, I decided to restudy and redescribe them.
