Transport amphorae are large sized vessels, used for carrying agricultural foodstuffs from one province to another. Therefore, transport amphorae are the most important evidence to interpret the ancient economy and trade. It is well known that the site of Knidos, in Datça Peninsula, had an important role in wine production and exportation since the 4th century B.C.; however, the ongoing excavations at Burgaz (7th through 4th century B.C.), near Knidos, yielded abundant evidence for the pre-Hellenistic types of Knidian amphorae as well as amphorae from other producer city-centers. The aim of this study is to investigate the trade relations of Burgaz with other trading centers as well as to understand the early development of local amphorae assemblages in the peninsula. To achieve this aim, the study provides a typological analysis and quantification of the local and foreign types of amphorae, recovered from the residential quarters of Burgaz, excavated between 1993 and 2009. According to the results, Korinth, Milet, Samos and Cyprus amphorae were imported since the 7th century. Chios and Thasos joined in this importation during the 6th century, while Kos and Rhodes during the 4th century. Burgaz was a center of import for various types of amphorae since the 7th century B.C; however, it did not have a significant role in exportation until the 4th century. The reason for the emergence of Knidos as an exporting site during the 4th century must be related to the relatively cheaper wine production, as was the case for Kos and Rhodes.

The Rural Settlement Pattern of Bozburun Peninsula During Classical and Hellenistic Periods
Oğuz, Eser Deniz; Tuna, Numan; Toprak, Vedat Gulam Muhammed; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2013)
Located in southwest Caria, Bozburun Peninsula (Carian Chersonesos/ Rhodian Peraea) is a big network of chorai with cleverly managed agricultural terraces and rural settlements scattered across an undulated topography and scarce resources whereby spatial patterns must have been formed according to various needs. The objective of this research is to understand the manner of organisation of rural settlements, the so-called “demes (δεμι)” which were essentially shaped according to environmental conditions and ...
Türkiye'nin Akdeniz ve Ege Denizi'ndeki kılıçbalığı populasyonlarının mitokondriyal Dna (Mtdna) kullanılarak incelenmesi
Alıçlı, Zahit Tuğrul; Togan, İnci Zehra; Onar, Vedat; Karakulak, Saadet Firdes; Gökoğlu, Mehmet; Yünc, Eren(2014)
Kılıç balığı (Xiphias gladius) hem dünya hem de Türkiye için önemli besin kaynaklarından biridir. Çeşitli moleküler belirteçler kullanılarak yapılan genetik çalışmalar, kılıç balıklarının Kuzey Atlantik, Güney Atlantik, Akdeniz ve Hint-Pasifik olmak üzere 4 ana stoktan oluştuğunu göstermektedir. Şu ana kadar tek bir stok olarak kabul edilen Akdeniz için tek bir koruma ve yönetim senaryosu önerilmiştir. Türkiye’deki kılıç balığı popülasyonları Akdeniz stoğunun bir parçası olarak ...
Symbol space and meaning in hittite architecture
Onurlu, Sema; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of History of Architecture (2004)
The importance of the Hittites derives from the fact that they were an organized central power extending over a large territory within which a number of societies maintained their language, culture and traditions. The archaeological findings of Hattusha, the Hittite capital reveal that the city had reached its maximum limits during the Great Kingdom period and the most magnificient and monumental buildings of the city are dated to this period. Yazilikaya, the open air sanctuary which reached to its final fo...
The ghost of herbivory past: slow defence relaxation in the chlorophyte Scenedesmus obliquus
Verschoor, Antonie M.; Bekmezci, Ozan K.; Van Donk, Ellen; Vijverberg , Jacobus (PAGEPress Publications, 2009-8-1)
The freshwater chlorophyte Scenedesmus obliquus (Turpin) Kützing produces colonies as an inducible defence against herbivores. We investigated the dynamics of Scenedesmus colony formation and disintegration in response to the density of the herbivorous rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus in large-scale mesocosms. Additional bioassays were performed to investigate Scenedesmus colony disintegration under different light regimes. In the mesocosm experiment, colony formation took place rapidly, but relaxation t...
Food web effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in an outdoor freshwater mesocosm experiment
Jovanovic, Boris; Bezirci, Gizem; Cagan, Ali Serhan; Coppens, Jan; Levi, Eti E.; Oluz, Zehra; Tuncel, Eylul; DURAN, HATİCE; Beklioğlu, Meryem (2016-01-01)
Over the course of 78days, nine outdoor mesocosms, each with 1350L capacity, were situated on a pontoon platform in the middle of a lake and exposed to 0gL(-1) TiO2, 25gL(-1) TiO2 or 250gL(-1) TiO2 nanoparticles in the form of E171 TiO2 human food additive five times a week. Mesocosms were inoculated with sediment, phytoplankton, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, macrophytes and fish before exposure, ensuring a complete food web. Physicochemical parameters of the water, nutrient concentrations, and biomass o...
