A fragment of a House Model that we discovered during the excavations at Devret Höyük in North- A fragment of a House Model that we discovered during the excavations at Devret Höyük in North-Central Anatolia (Amasya, Turkey) is one of the most unusual discoveries in Anatolia. Although the lower half is broken, it has a very characteristic look with its gable-roofed form and thick gutter decoration. Our excavation context helped us to date the artifact to the Chalcolithic period. In this article, a piece of the house model that found as an unusual finding during the excavations at Devret Höyük has presented and its relationship with other cultures discussed. The Devret house model cannot be a miniature prototype of architectural structures made of clay, as it does not resemble any of the building types we excavated. No satisfactory data on its cultic function was found either. It is difficult to explain why a house model fragment was found in Devret, one of the smallest settlements in North-Central Anatolia. The reason for its presence here can be sought in indirect associations or migratory movements. Devret is equally remote from Eastern and Western cultures due to its location, which is why we have kept our perspective very broad. House Models were found in the greatest number and variety in Southeastern Europe over a long period of time. We compared the analogy of the Kodjadermen-Gumelnița-Karanovo VI (KGK VI) specimens with Devret and questioned the possibilities. The context between house models outside Europe, however, is disjointed and does not provide a composition that allows for a comparison with Devret. The discovery of sophisticated old-world finds at a small-scale site like Devret in North-Central Anatolia will undoubtedly keep the debate on house models topical. Only further research and discoveries will clarify this position and serve as a reference for future reassessment.
