The existence of two baths, if not more, in Roman Ankara reveals that a considerable amount of water was needed at least for the working of these baths. However, how and from where this water was supplied is not so clear because of the lack of both archaeological and historical evidence. In this regard, by bringing together all the archaeological data so far discovered and the available published information regarding the water supply scheme in order to see all this data collectively in a single picture, this thesis tries to investigate how and from where the water was supplied to Roman Ankara. In addition, this thesis reviews the available water potential of Ankara considering geography and hydrology of the site and also contains an analysis of how water was supplied in the more recent history of the city which is believed to contain invaluable information regarding the ancient water supply scheme of the city especially when the archaeological data is very scarce.

Chapter 1: Chemical and isotopic constraints on the origin of thermal waters in Anatolia.
Mutlu, Halim; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Hilton, David Raymond (CRC Press/Balkema,, 2014-01-01)
In the region comprising Turkey and Greece, people have been using water from geothermal sources for bathing and washing of clothes since ancient times. This region falls within the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt and hence is a locus of active volcanism and tectonism and experiences frequent seismic events. This volcanic and tectonic activity has given rise to over 1500 geothermal springs. Its importance was recognized decades ago and the geothermal water is now being utilized for district heating, industri...
Multi-functional buildings of the T-type in Ottoman context : network of identity and territorialization
Oğuz, Zeynep; Altan, Tomris Elvan; Department of History of Architecture (2006)
This thesis focuses on the Ottoman buildings with a T-shaped plan and their meanings with respect to the central and centrifugal tendencies in the Ottoman context in the fourteenth, fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The emergence of the multi-functional buildings of the T-type in the Ottoman realm is simultaneous with the burgeoning of a state in the early Ottoman frontier milieu, which is profoundly intermingled with the notion of gaza; whereas the demise of the use of the T-plan is coincident with ...
An analysis of Architect Sinan's late period mosques
Katipoğlu, Ceren; Erzen, Jale Adile; Department of History of Architecture (2007)
This thesis focuses on the late period mosques of architect Sinan in terms of their structural systems, the relation with their environment, and the identities of their patrons. The links amongst the role of the patron, his or her status in the state, materials used in the mosques, location choice and the spatial distribution of the mosques are researched on the bases of these six late period mosques of Sinan. In this perspective, the social background of the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century is the f...
Assessment of acoustical characteristics for historical baths (hammams)
Aydın, Alaz; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Çalışkan, Mutlu (null; 2008-12-01)
Comprehensive studies are necessary to better understand the original acoustical characteristics of historical baths (hamams) in order to discover the historical technologies establishing good acoustical performance in these structures and keep their proper functioning for long periods of time. The study was conducted on Sengul Hamam, a historical Turkish bath dated to 15 th century, belonging to the Ottoman period. Its acoustical characteristics were examined by using 3D computer modelling and acoustical s...
Tarihi Türk hamamlarının akustik nitelikleri: özgün hali ve bugünkü durumu
Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Çalışkan, Mehmet (null; 2011-05-26)
Comprehensive studies are needed to discover the original acoustical features of historical Turkish baths and to keep their functioning together with their inherent characteristics for long periods of time. The main concern of the study wasthe discovery of original acoustical features the Kadı Hamamı(Diyarbakır) and Şengül Hamamı (Ankara), two 15thcentury historical baths belonging to the Ottoman period, and acoustical failures occurred in time due to the recent improper repairs. The historical ...
