Earliest Bronze Age Anatolia

Two reports from what is now the Turkiya, over the earliest Bronze Age: seal impressions, Arslantepe 5000 BC, and life expectancy, Küllüoba 3000 BC.

Arslantepe is not considered "urban", but Küllüoba is. In between I understand the Balkans were getting to urbanity. Küllüoba is in what's now Eskişehir which is pretty northwest, so where they'll be speaking Palaic. Or maybe Hattic.

The Balkans had got whacked by plague and Aryans. Küllüoba, also, suffered from diseases. Infant mortality was high and life-expectancy around the high 30s (although I am unsure how they calculated that).

Both sites across two millennia had those seals, therefore ideograms. I do not know if these were the same seals.
