The BIAA pottery reference collection (TR. Etütlük) was assembled between the 1940s and the 1970s. The majority of the material is fragmentary pottery (and occasional stone items) from excavations and surface surveys carried out in Türkiye under the auspices of the BIAA. The material is organised into four main categories: survey, excavation, study, and published material. All periods are represented, from the Neolithic to the Ottoman, and examples of most Anatolian pottery types can be found.
