North-Central Anatolia preserved its traditional structure coming from the Late Chalcolithic Age until the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. At the beginning of the Early Bronze Age, society had adopted a semi-nomadic lifestyle, and over time with the development of trade, the distinct divisions between the wealthy class and the lower strata of society became more acute. The most concrete proofs for these are the architectural formation and especially findings received from the tombs. Except for a few defensive structures, there are no special and magnificent structures in the region, and the cities are unplanned and irregular. However, findings obtained from tombs are rich and unique. Local characteristics disappeared at the end of the millennium, and it became an important part of Anatolian culture. Of course, there are still many questions to be answered, but the minor number of excavations targeting the Early Bronze Age which sustained in short periods, makes it difficult for us to establish the socio-economic and hierarchical order of the region. The problem of dating the excavated stratigraphy and conservative approaches to the appearance of the region is another factor that complicates a comprehensive understanding of the region.
