Abstract :It appears that the average longevity of the Chalcolithic and Copper Age inhabitants of Anatolia was briefer than that of the modern civilized peoples. Although they had the potentiality of living to be old, it appears that most of these Chalcolithic and Copper Age peoples died before the age of 4.0 and only a few amongst them succeeded in living beyond sixty
