Olba archaeological site is located in Mersin, Turkey. It is one of the most important regions of Rough Cilicia. We performed the analyses of 34 glass objects (IV. and VII. centuries C.E.) from Olba archaeological site using PED-XRF and Raman spectroscopy techniques. XRF and Raman spectroscopy results are mostly compatible with each other. The chemical compositions of the Olba glass samples are similar to each other and the results showed that the glasses are all soda-lime-silica based glasses. Additionally, for the production of the Olba glasses, soda was used as the fluxing agent and the main stabilizer was lime. SiO2, Al2O3 and Na2O levels of Olba glass samples are relatively lower than typical soda-lime-silica glasses reported in the literature. Raman analyses results revealed that the Olba glasses were fired at temperatures above 1000°C according to their Ip values found to be higher than 1.

Although there are varying references about the foundation of the city, the city was most prosperous in the 2nd and 3rd century AD, during Roman period. The Byzantine Basilica in the city is dated back to 5th century AD. For the conservation works of the basilica, mortar samples were collected from different parts of the building and investigated for their basic physical, physico-mechanical and compositional properties. For the determination o...
Archaeometrical and geoarchaeological studies in prehistoric settlement of domuztepe (Kahramanmaraş-Turkey)
Dirican, Murat; Günal Türkmenoğlu, Asuman; Atakuman, Çiğdem; Department of Archaeometry (2018)
The aim of this study is to investigate pottery and stone vessels from Domuztepe, a Late Neolithic settlement in southeast Turkey, located to the south of Kahramanmaraş by means of archaeometrical and geoarchaeological methods in an attempt to understand the local resource use and production technologies. Domuztepe represents the northwestern border of a unique material culture distribution commonly known as “Halaf culture” which had influenced vast regions of northern Mesopotamia during the Late Neolithic ...
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...
The water system at the upper city of Hasankeyf and its impact on urban settlement
Oğuz, Eser Deniz; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2007)
Hasankeyf, located in Upper Mesopotamia, southeastern Turkey with its environs at the floodplains of Tigris, welcomed many cultures in different periods. It has a very unique status with its difficult topography and distinctive outlook where spatial urbanization in almost every period must have been extraordinary, as well. The aim of this thesis is to study the water distribution system, specifically its relation to natural and man-made environment, at the Upper city of Hasankeyf, in order to identify the i...
Konya Alaeddin Camisi Yapım Evreleri Üzerine Düşünceler
Asutay Effenberger, Neslihan (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2006)
The Alaeddin Mosque, which is located on a hill in the middle of modern Konya, is one of the most problematical monuments of the Seljuk Anatolia. It has suffered from several restorations and almost lost of its original substance. Its irregular prayer hall shows the following parts (from east to west): a hypostyle hall, a central unit with a mihrap cupola and a western wing. An U-shaped courtyard, where two kümbets are situated, is positioned in the north side of the prayer hall. In addition, some wall frag...
