This article contains the Early Iron Age period results and C14 age analyses of the excavations in Inonu Cave located on the Western Black Sea coast of Turkey. The data achieved through the excavations carried out in the cave in 2017 and 2018 have demonstrated that the level II of the cave was settled at the beginning of the Early Inn Age. While there are still many unanswered questions regarding the end of the Late Bronze Age-the beginning of the Early Iron Age in Anatolia and the Eastern Mediterranean, there is almost no information about the Western Black Sea cultures of this period. The present study aims to outline the culture of the Western Black Sea Region at the end of the 2nd millennium BC and to show the relationship of this culture with the communities of the Balkans by the detailed evaluation of the data on the level II of Inonu Cave.
