The main objective of this study is to determine main activity locations and correlation between different artifact types in an archaeological site with geographical information systems (GIS) and spatial data analyses. Knidian amphora workshops in Datça peninsula are studied in order to apply GIS and spatial statistical techniques. GIS capabilities are coupled with some spatial statistical software and spatial data analysis steps are followed. Both point and area datasets are examined for the effective analysis of the same set of spatial phenomena. Visualizing the artifact distribution with the help of GIS tools enables proposing hypotheses about the study area. In exploration part of the study, those assumptions are tested and developed with the help of explorative methods and GIS. The results are discussed and assessed in terms of archaeological framework. Finally the results are compared with the archeo-geophysical anomalies and excavation results.

An Embedded spatial statistics toolbox (R techniques) in open source GİS software (uDig)
Çavur, Mahmut; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2016)
It is widely considered that geographic information systems (GIS) should include more spatial data analysis (SDA) techniques. The issues of which techniques should be included and how statistical analysis can be integrated with GIS are still widely debated. However, the typical software does not include all geospatial techniques. In this respect, this thesis focuses on the means to develop a framework which implements R spatial statistical techniques in the uDig GIS so that GIS and spatial statistical analy...
A framework to embed a spatial statistics toolbox in open-source GIS software: kernel density estimation example
Cavur, M.; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (2017-01-01)
It is widely known that geographic information systems (GIS) should include more spatial data analysis (SDA) techniques. The issues of which techniques should be included and how statistical analysis can be integrated with GIS are still widely debated. This paper focuses on the development of a framework that implements R SDA techniques in the uDig. For this purpose, a simple interface is designed between two open-source software applications, uDig and the R statistical software package. The tight coupling ...
Exploring the relationship between the socio-economic structure and some topographic variables in Çankırı
Dilekli, Naci; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2004)
This study aims to develop a method to investigate the relationship between socio-economic status of village settlements and some topographic variables using geographical information systems (GIS) and spatial statistical methods. The study area is Çankiri province, a mountainous region that lays at the northeast of Ankara. 331 villages represented by areal units are used in this study. 195 variables are used to extract a single socio-economic status indicator. First, all the variables are divided under thre...
Discovering fuzzy spatial association rules
Kacar, E; Cicekli, NK (2002-04-04)
Discovering interesting, implicit knowledge and general relationships in geographic information databases is very important to understand and use these spatial data. One of the methods for discovering this implicit knowledge is mining spatial association rules. A spatial association rule is a rule indicating certain association relationships among a set of spatial and possibly non-spatial predicates. In the mining process, data is organized in a hierarchical manner. However, in real-world applications it ma...
Deposition and dislocation of pottery as surface assemblages in semi-arid regions
Tunçer, Aylin; Güvenç, Murat; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2005)
This thesis aims to discuss the archaeological concerns about how surveys can provide data tht is meaningful to construct spatial patterning and its intricacies for inferences through altering processes diversified as cultural and natural processes. Along with that there is also a second concern dealing with the application of these theoretical issues to practical basis. It consists both methodological limits and also limits governed by the legislation of the particular area according to the aim of the stud...
