Abstract :In a recent study on the Chalcolithic crania from Yümüktepe I had left out of consideration the long bones, a few of which I had restored. In this study I concluded: \`The morphological as well as metric comparison between the Combe-Capelle skull of Upper Palaeolithic Age and the Yümüktepe skull of Chalcolithic date clearly shows that the rugged and primitive Eurafrican type, as already pointed out by Fleure and Buxton and Rice is a modified descendant of the Upper Palaeolithic Combe- Capelle type.\` In view of the implications of this conclusion on the racial affınities of the Chalcolithic inhabitants of Anatolia, I subsequently decided to go over more carefully the long bones from this site, most of which were unnumbered, but a small proportion carried level markings. Sin.ce then I have restored some more long bones, some of which, in some sections, carry the level marks.
Keywords : Chalcolithic Period, Upper Palaeolithic Age, Yümüktepe, Anatolia
