Abstract :Summary While the rich grave goods from the Early Bronze Age royal tombs of Alacahöyük were in focus of archaeological interest, the other inconspicuous finds such as scrap metal, tools and implements received little attention, including a piece of metal wrapped in cloth from tomb A. This piece, which has been identified as a remnant of a tin ingot, is of particular significance, as it constitutes the oldest tin ingot in the Old World to date. Özet Alacahöyük Erken Tunç Çağı kral mezarlarında ele geçen zengin mezar armağanları arkeoloji dünyasını öteden beri ilgilendirmiş, ancak gözden kaçan hurda metal, alet ve benzeri diğer buluntular fazla dikkati çekmemiştir. Bunlar arasında A Mezarı’nda bulunan kumaşa sarılı bir metal parçası da yer alır. Yeni araştırmalar sonucunda kalay olduğu anlaşılan bu buluntu, eski dünyada bugüne dek korunagelmiş en erken kalay külçesi olması açısından önem taşımaktadır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Anadolu, Alacahöyük, Erken Tunç Çağı, Kral Mezarları, Kalay
Keywords : Anatolia, Alacahöyük, Early Bronze Age, Royal Tomb, Tin
