Kuzeydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde bulunan Kars ili, tarihin en eski dönemlerinden itibaren insanoğlu tarafından yerleşim yeri olarak tercih edilmiş ve birçok uygarlığa ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Bölgenin akarsu potansiyeli bakımından zengin olması, önemli yol ağlarının kesişim noktasında bulunması, verimli tarım arazilerine sahip olması ve yaylalarında yapılan hayvancılık faaliyetleri yerleşim görmesine neden olan önemli coğrafi özelliklerdir. Kars ve çevresinde en erken yaşam izleri Paleolitik Çağ’da görülmüştür. Geç Kalkolitik Çağ’dan itibaren görülmeye başlayan yerleşim merkezleri, İlk Tunç Çağı ile birlikte artmaya başlamış ve bu yerleşim yoğunluğu Urartu Devleti’nin bölgedeki etkisinin artması ile birlikte devam etmiştir. Bölgede gerçekleştirdiğimiz yüzey araştırmalarında önemli tarihi ve arkeolojik merkezler tespit edilmiştir. Kars’ta tespit ettiğimiz Danamayalı Yerleşmesi de Geç Kalkolitik Çağ ile birlikte yerleşimin başladığı ve zamanla yerleşme yoğunluğunun arttığı bir merkezdir. Bu çalışmada Danamayalı Yerleşmesi hem konumu hem de keramik özellikleri ile değerlendirerek, merkezin Kuzeydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi Eski Çağ tarihindeki önemi aydınlatılmaya çalışılmıştır.
Kars Province, located in the Northeastern Anatolia Region, has been preferred as a settlement by humankind since the earliest ages in history and has been the home of many civilizations. The region's wealth of river potential, its location at the intersection of important road networks, its fertile agricultural lands and animal husbandry activities in its plateaus are the leading geographical features providing settlement. The earliest evidence of life in Kars and its surrounding dates back to the Paleolithic Age. The settlements, which began establishing in the Late Chalcolithic Age, began to grow in the Early Bronze Age and the population density continued to expand with the dominating influence exercised by the Urartu Kingdom in the region. Significant historical and archaeological centers have been identified during the surface surveys we conducted in the region.The Danish Settlement we determined in Kars is also a spot where settlement began with the Late Chalcolithic Age and the population density grew as time proceeded. This study deals with the importance of the Danish settlement in the Northeastern Anatolia Region in the Ancient Age by evaluating both its location and its ceramic properties.
