The main aim of this dissertation is to present data on and to discuss the activity engaged in by the household in the Classical Burgaz (Palaia Knidos) houses. Through the examination of nine recently excavated houses, combined with consideration of their artifact assemblages and architecture, it has been tried to gain insight into the use of domestic space and household organization at Burgaz (located in the Southwestern Anatolia) in 4th Century B.C. The theoretical foundation for this research is drawn from the anthropology of the house or domestic sphere, whose characteristics have been adopted by archaeologists and applied to ancient contexts in the form of “household archaeology”. Methodologically, the approach that draws from artifact patterning analyzed within a household archaeological framework was used. The results of the study demonstrate that a wide variety of variables must be considered when examining the artifacts of domestic assemblages including multi-functionality, condition, context, use status, and the overall organization of space.

Settlement patterns of Altınova in the early bronze age
Dikkaya, Fahri; Erciyas, Deniz Burcu; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2003)
This study aims to investigate the settlement patterns of Altinova in the Early Bronze Age and its reflection to social and cultural phenomena. Altinova, which is the most arable plain in Eastern Anatolia, is situated in the borders of Elazig province. The region in the Early Bronze Age was the conjunction and interaction area for two main cultural complexes in the Near East, which were Syro-Mesopotamia and Transcaucasia, with a strong local character. The effect of the foreign and local cultural interactio...

Housing along the western development corridor in Ankara: case studies in Etimesgut & Sincan
Doğan, Derya; Türel, Ali; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2008)
Urbanisation and suburban housing development are the foci subjects of this thesis. The process of urbanisation may differ from one country to another in terms of socio-economic and political structures, environmental characteristics and also local features. In this context, housing areas at the urban fringe of Ankara were found to have been developed highly compatible with urban land use theories; but different from the process experienced in developed countries. In this thesis, a different dimension of su...
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...
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...
