Cet article présente les résultats préliminaires des fouilles, toujours en cours, des niveaux d'occupation de la Période VIII à Arslantepe : il s'agit actuellement du seul site du Taurus Oriental présentant des niveaux architecturaux du début du Chalcolithique Récent dégagés en extension (deuxième moitié du 5eme millénaire av. n.è). Une classification de l'assemblage céramique permet à la fois d'analyser les relations entretenues par la plaine de Malatya avec les régions environnantes, et de construire une chronologie relative. L'occupation de la Période VIII à Arslantepe semble principalement de caractère domestique ; elle présente des zones d'activités intéressantes qui sont analysées ci-dessous. La céramique emblématique de la Période VIII est la "Scraped Ware" , de couleur foncée , qui permet de relier la région de Malatya au Sud-ouest anatolien (Oylum Höyük ) mais suggère des contacts très limités avec la région, pourtant voisine, d'Elazig.
This article presents the preliminary results of the ongoing excavations of the Period VIII occupation levels at Arslantepe, the only site so far known within the Oriental Taurus range to display extensive architectural exposures dated to the initial Late Chalcolithic period (second half of the 5th millennium BCE). A classification of the ceramic assemblage is given, which aims at casting light on the cultural relations of the Malatya plain with neighbouring regions, as well as at constructing a relative chronology for this period. The occupation of Period VIII at Arslantepe so far appears to be mainly domestic in character, with interesting activity areas, which are discussed below. The hallmark of the ceramic production during Period VIII is the dark-coloured Scraped Ware, apparently linking Malatya to the southwest (Oylum Höyiik), while suggesting very limited contacts with the eastern neighbours of the Elazig region.
