İkiztepe is the largest excavated mound type settlement of prehistoric times in the Black Sea region in Turkey. It is located ca. 55 km northwest of Samsun, 7 km northwest of Bafra and is within the boundary of the present day village of Ikiztepe. The carbonised seeds and fruits secured from the occupation levels of İkiztepe houses dating from Chalcolithic to the Transition period are used to identify the crop processing activities conducted within the domestic units. Areas of fine sieving activity and the storage areas could be detected by the help of the analysis of the archaeobotanical materials. A comparison of the crop processing habits of the occupants of İkiztepe and other Early Bronze Age settlements in Anatolia is also made.

Zooarchaeological analysis on faunal remains from Salat Tepe, South-Eastern Turkey
Silibolatlaz Baykara, Derya; Bertram, Jan Krzysztof; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2014)
This dissertation is based on investigation of faunal remains from Salat Tepe, a small mound is located in Batman province, where lies within the Ilısu Dam area, at the north of the Tigris River, south-eastern Turkey. Salat Tepe is a multi-period site and studied materials were taken from Chalcolithic to Hellenistic periods have been analyzed. Mainly, this dissertation addresses how faunal remains could add to our understanding of the social and economic organization of the site. The principal domestic spec...
The Genesis of early state formation in the Aegean Prehistoric Cultures : Liman Tepe and Bakla Tepe as a case study
Durğun, Pınar; Tuna, Numan; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2012)
The Izmir Region is located in the heart of the Western Anatolian coastline and forms a natural bridge between the Anatolian mainland and the Western Aegean. The region is connected to Central Anatolia through deep valleys and is linked to the Aegean Sea via many harbor sites along the coast. The architectural features and the other remains (such as pottery, metal objects etc.) found in and around those architectural context can provide the information about the genesis of the urbanization. With reference t...
Dinoflagellate cyst biostratigraphy of Miocene strata in the Adana Basin, Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey
Turkecan, Aksel Tugba; Munsterman, Dirk; Isik, Ugras; Altıner, Demir; Pinar, Mehtap; Cevik, Tugba; Alay, Zeynep (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01)
The Adana Basin is one of the major Neogene basins situated in SW Turkey with sedimentary successions providing good records of the paleoenvironmental changes that affected the Mediterranean area. Since a detailed biochronostratigraphic framework has not been properly established in the Adana Basin yet, this study will be the first multidisciplinary approach carried out in this region. In addition, a detailed biozonation based on marine palynomorphs was the first ever documented from the Kopekli Formation d...
Reconstruction of a Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous carbonate platform margin with composite biostratigraphy and microfacies analysis (western Sakarya Zone, Turkey): Paleogeographic and tectonic implications
Atasoy, Serdar Görkem; Altıner, Demir (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01)
During Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous the Pontides were the site of a wide carbonate platform facing the Tethys ocean in the south. In the western Pontides the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous shallow marine carbonates abut the Tethyan Izmir-Ankara suture with no evidence for platform margin deposits. The Sivrihisar klippe 50 km south of the Izmir-Ankara suture preserves a record of the missing platform margin. In the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous carbonates exposed in this Sivrihisar klippe, two coeval bu...
MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHY AND PALEOECOLOGY OF THE HOMINID-BEARING LOCALITY, CORAKYERLER, TUGLU FORMATION (CANKIRI BASIN, CENTRAL ANATOLIA)

Ouranopithecus turkae, from the late Miocene of Corakyerler in Central Anatolia, is considered one of the last known occurrences of great ape in the eastern Mediterranean. The Corakyerler fauna has previously been correlated with MN 11 to early MN 12 on the basis of biochronology, and its faunal composition has been found to contrast with those from contemporaneous sites. In this paper, we present the magnetostratigraphy of the Corakyerler site and an expanded interpretation of its paleobiogeographical and ...
