Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Maner from Koç University's Department of Archaeology and History of Art has uncovered remarkable textile fragments at Beycesultan Höyük that rewrite our understanding of Bronze Age craftsmanship in Anatolia. Published in the journal Antiquity, the study presents the earliest evidence of indigo-dyed textiles and a sophisticated single-needle knitting technique previously unknown in the region.
