Fıstıklı Höyük Figurines, Şanlıurfa Museum 8 (Drawing: 3)Three clay fi gurines were found at the early Halaf site of Fıstıklı Höyük. Onefi gurine is a fl at, standing type with arm stubs (3a), similar to later examplesfrom Çavı Tarlası. Holes for attachment of appliqué breasts remain and incisionsdecorate the waist and navel. Another example similar to this one was also foundin the same level . A less carefully made fi gurine (Fig. 3b) may represent a standingmale. Attachment scars suggest that an appliqué phallus was represented, but isnow broken off.Tell Kurdu Figurines, Hatay Region 10 (Drawing: 4)Early Halaf fi gurines found in the Amuq B settlement at Tell Kurdu are all madeof clay and are portrayed in Anatolian styles. One fragment (4b) is a standing fl attype with arm stubs. This example is also incised and punctated to represent thefemale pudenda. Another columnar shaped fragment is decorated with fi ngernailmarks (4d). A third example may represent a skirted kneeling female (4c). Ahead fragment (4a) is unique in that it is the only fi gurine example of this timewith modeled ears. A complete fi gurine (4e) shows no detail or decoration on itspointed head.Domuztepe Figurines, Kahramanmaraş Region 11 (Drawings: 5, 6)The last Halaf fi gurine assemblage from southeastern Anatolia I present hereis from the site of Domuztepe, an early and late Halaf settlement at the westernedge of Mesopotamia. The prolifi c community of artists at Domuztepe produceda diverse and quite skilled assemblage of artifacts, including pottery, fi gurines,pendants and seals, many in Halaf styles, but others—especially the fi gurines—having stylistic and material connections with central Anatolia.The fi gurines found at Domuztepe differ dramatically from other Halafexamples both in style and technology.
