The comparison with the neighbouring regions of the Aegean and Central Anatolia, both with rich visual culture, makes clear the almost complete absence of figurative art in West Anatolia. This gap in the imaginary can be potentially filled with zoomorphic plastic decorations on pottery. These decorations occur in surprising quantities, various forms, and on a number of sites in West Anatolia. The first part of the thesis describes their development, geographical distribution, and ware association, with seven individual types of decoration identified. The second part the thesis examines the local trends of zoomorphic decorations within seven geographical groups, which emerged from the study, with Troy and Kaymakçı serving as two main case studies. In the next step, the collected West Anatolian evidence is compared to zoomorphic decorations in the surrounding regions of Central Anatolia and Mycenaean Greece, as well as to Apennine Peninsula. The thesis highlights similarities between these regions and evaluates them in terms of connections between West Anatolia and the individual regions. Last part of the thesis evaluates the gained results and discusses the...
