Résumé

A comparison of domestic architecture across Eastern Anatolia reveals fundamental differences in the development of domestic architecture in this region. This variance in house form can be attributed to a number of environmental factors,namely topography, climate and building materials, all of which can influence the morphology of houses. However, natural conditions such as these are not the only factor; house design was also affected by socio-cultural factors such as family composition and the limits of technical knowledge. I aim to categorize the different types of house plans known in third millennium BC Eastern Anatolia, with regard to their shape, size or building materials. The distribution of these categories of domestic architecture is analyzed and the reasons for this pattern of distribution across Eastern Anatolia is examined. Eastern Anatolia is composed of Erzurum,Malatya-Elazığ and Adıyaman sectors. Five different models have been found in thisregion: semi-subterranean (İmamoğlu (Late BA), Arslantepe (VI D2, Early Bronze Age IIIB)), rectangular mono-cellular with or without round corners (TaskunMevkii (phase 3), Değirmentepe (level III, level Ia-b) and Norşuntepe (lev. 16)),multi-cellular plan and extensive rectangular multi-roomed plan, organized around a courtyard (Titriş Höyük). Consequently, we will see that domestic architecture appears as a relevant tool in the studies of Anatolian societies, and of its relations with its neighbours.
