Kırklareli Museum attracts visitors with its nature corner with embalming, its sections reflecting folkloric elements, artifacts from the ice age to Rome, from the Thracians to the late Ottoman period.
More than half of the objects exhibited in the museum are the artifacts found in the Aşağıpınar mound, whose excavations began in 1993 and lasted for 18 years. The artifacts, which shed light on how agriculture was done 8,200 years ago, are among the sections most viewed by visitors.
"The first village based on agriculture"
İlknur Yaz, a museum researcher at the Kırklareli Museum, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that there are approximately 7,500 artifacts in the museum.
Stating that 60 percent of the collection consists of the artifacts found in Aşağıpınar, Yaz said that the objects found in the excavation attracted the attention of local and foreign visitors.
Indicating that Aşağıpınar is a place where the first village life based on agriculture started and animals were domesticated, Yaz gave the following information:
"The artifacts obtained as a result of excavations here are also exhibited in our museum. Actually, we can call Aşağıpınar the 'Göbeklitepe of Eastern Thrace'. There are hand axes, bone tools, clay bracelets, bone spoons, utensils that represent that period and that people used in their daily lives at that time. Apart from this, there are ceremonial vessels, figures and mother goddess figurines that they use in ceremonies.
Mother goddess figurine is among the prominent works
Yaz emphasized that the mother goddess figurine found in 2011 and used as the logo of the Congress of the European Union of Archaeologists stands out as the most striking artifact among the exhibits.
Explaining that the visitors showed great interest in the statuette, Yaz continued:
"Now, our visitors who come and visit our museum consciously feel and see a difference when they compare the mother goddess figurines they see in Anatolia with the mother goddess statuettes here. They wonder why. Because the period is the Neolithic period in Anatolia and Thrace. But there is a stylistic feature. In fact, the most important and most distinctive feature of our mother goddess is this stylistic difference, which distinguishes her from other mother goddesses. The most distinctive feature of our mother goddess figurine is that it bears the characteristics of both Anatolian and Balkan cultures. Neolithic culture, which started in Mesopotamia, spread to Europe from eastern Thrace.
