A group of the late 12th-13th century Byzantine pottery glazes, mostly related to Zeuxippus Ware Type pottery from the Kuadas Kadkalesi/Anaia site in western Anatolia, was characterized non-destructively using Raman spectrometry. SEM-EDX was also used complementarily for the glaze characterization. The nature and composition of the glazes, firing conditions, aspects of colour formation and pigments used were discussed. The glazes were found to be lead-rich silicates, fired close to 700 degrees C on the basis of the Si-O stretching peak maxima of the Raman spectra recorded at approximate to 920-980cm(-1), as also confirmed by SEM-EDX analysis. The polymerization index values calculated are between approximately 0.05 and 0.1. The use of biscuit-fired bodies prior to glaze application was suggested based on the results of SEM-EDX analysis. In particular, the detection of Naples yellow pigment variations on a locally produced pottery sample is quite significant, since the use of this type of pigment has hardly ever been reported between the Roman period and the Renaissance.

The display of hekatomnid power in karian settlements through urban imagery Üzel, Ayça; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2007) This thesis focuses on a distinctive period in Karian history marked by the Hekatomnid dynasty in the 4th century BC. The basic question is the ways in which the Hekatomnid power was reflected in the Karian settlement practices and urban imagery. In this regard Maussollos, the most well-known member of the Hekatomnid dynasty, and his policies, including vast building projects and synoikismoi activities, are important indicators in giving a hint on Karian political praxis for the solution of conjectural prob...
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 ...
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...
Archaeological Investigations in the Harbours of Burgaz, Turkey: 2011-2015 field seasons Greene, Elizabeth S.; Leidwanger, Justin; Tuna, Numan (Wiley, 2019-03-01) Between 2011 and 2015 archaeological fieldwork was conducted in the Archaic through Late Antique harbours associated with Burgaz on the Datca Peninsula in south-west Turkey. This work focused on survey and documentation of built features associated with the four harbours, limited stratigraphic excavation, and identification of shipwrecks and seafaring activity outside the harbours. The results offer new insights into the growth, expansion, and eventual abandonment of the port complex, its development alongs...
Arsenic accumulation on the bones in the Early Bronze Age Ikiztepe Population, Turkey ÖZDEMİR, KAMERAY; ERDAL, YILMAZ SELİM; Demirci, Şahinde (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01) In this study, arsenic, copper and lead content of a group of human and animal bones recovered from the Early Bronze Age Ikiztepe site have been analyzed using ICP-MS method Average arsenic value of 90 femur bones of a human was found to be 15.0 +/- 5.79 ppm which was varied among age and sex groups, and among species Origin of arsenic accumulation in bones was diagenetic because overall the groups were highly variable The distribution of metallic items among the burials had a big affect on the arsenic upta...
