Abstract
The burials in Öküzini Cave yield important information concerning the burial practices of the Chalcolithic period. The age determination is indicated by a series of radiocarbon dates as well as by ceramics. No other graveyards have been discovered in any of the numerous Mount Katran caves. In addition, Chalcolithic open-air sites, such as small mounds, have not been located in the Antalya Travertine Plain. These burials are therefore the first evidence for ceremonial activities of people of Chalcolithic age. The presence of such archaeological remains poses important questions concerning cultural connections between the Travertine Plain of Antalya, Mount Katran’s caves and the Central Anatolian Plateau
