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 study. A particular space, semi-arid climate is selected for comparing the amount of attrition and accretion caused by natural factors, to be able to apply the studies to Anatolian geography. However applications from around the world are frequently discussed here, these are mainly the case studies bringing methodological scheme for the appropriate data collection.

A GIS based spatial data analysis in Knidian amphora workshops in Reşadiye Kıroğlu, M. Fatih; Tuna, Numan; Düzgün, Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2003) 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 anal...
A Proposal for the preservation and integrated presentation of archaeological and natural resources in the case of METU Campus area Bağcı, Latife Sema; Bertram, Jan Krzysztof; İlgezdi Bertram, Gülçin; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2010) The subject of presentation of archaeological resources is still a developing concept in Turkey. The concepts of educational value and concern, needs a more common recognition and more practice in this context. The same statement goes for the management of natural resources. However, proper public presentation of archaeological and natural resources and public education in those is crucial for the protection of these resources. Moreover, an integrated presentation, approaching the archaeological resources w...
Spatial decision support system for archaeological application : a case study for Kaunos archaeological site Baybaş, Gizem; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Öğün Çizmeli, Zeynep; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2013) Geographically located materials are used by the archaeology to analyze and explain the socio-cultural aspects of ancient life. Thus, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have started to be used in archaeology for many applications. Although, cooperation of GIS and archaeology is considered as beneficial, it has become insufficient to meet the requirements of archaeologists about excavation study. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) which includes both th...
