It is observed that there was a decrease in mound settlements in Eastern Anatolia in the 2nd millennium BC. In the studies conducted so far, this situation is explained by people leaving the mounds and moving to the plateaus. There has also been a significant change in the types of spaces of these groups living in the plateaus. Wool tents and generally simple stone houses without mortar gained great importance in this period. Such groups had to change their settlement areas frequently due to animal migration, environmental problems and security reasons. When it is considered that the large structures in the mounds can be covered with soil to a large extent during the formation process; it can be understood how difficult it is to reach the traces of these seasonal or temporary spaces in archaeological terms. The structures belonging to nomadic groups do not disappear completely, they are simply covered with soil. However, since the same place is not settled for a long time, the formation process in these Turkish areas develops differently depending on the characteristics of the materials used. This situation makes it impossible to detect the settlements of the 2nd millennium BC on the high plateaus. What remains from the nomadic lifestyle The remaining traces also appear as an archaeological problem. In order to better understand this archaeological problem and to answer some archaeological problems in this context, the plateau culture and plateau architecture of groups belonging to the same subsistence economy in the same geography were examined. As a result of the ethnoarchaeological studies, it was understood that the settlement problem of the 2nd millennium BC in Eastern Anatolia was actually a formation process.
