The data were collected from various publications, the results of archaeological excavations and surveys conducted in Eastern Anatolia over the past 100 years. The dataset is stored at the Zenodo repository under an open-access license. This dataset is also part of the Ph. D. project of Alper Aslan called Long-term Population dynamics and Human-Environment Interactions in Eastern Anatolia from the Chalcolithic to the Iron Age.
