This work investigates dog and cat remains from the 12th – 14th AD layers recovered from the excavation of Komana, Tokat, Turkey. It includes 2 almost complete dog skeletons and one kitten plus other bones of dog and cat found scattered in the layers. The two dogs were found buried hastily. One of them shows heavy pathologies such as arthritis and infections. The kitten was found in a cesspit together with large amounts of domestic refuse. The rest of the remains are found in tertiary contexts. We present here the osteobiography of these finds in all detail but with an emphasis on osteometry to specify size, weight and shape of animals. Comparable finds for cat are very few but for the case of dog large datasets recently published from Yenikapı and Van excavations which allowed us to build good comparisons.

Improvement of an Extremely Highly Plastic Expansive Clay with Hydrated Lime and Fly Ash Unver, Inci Sut; Lav, Musaffa Ayşen; Çokça, Erdal (2021-04-01) In this study, extremely highly plastic soil samples were collected from clay deposits in the Akyurt district of Ankara (Turkey), near Esenboga Airport. Hydrated lime and fly ash were applied as chemical stabilizers. The clay samples were mixed with a stabilizing agent considering the dry weight (lime content: 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%; fly ash content: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%). The engineering properties of the improved soil samples were determined via laboratory tests. The changes in engineering propertie...
Animal sacrificial offerings at Sapinuwa, a religious center of the Hittite empire, Late Bronze Age, Turkey Pişkin, Evangelia (2022-06-15) “Animal sacrificial offerings at Sapinuwa, a religious center of the Hittite empire, Late Bronze Age, Turkey”. In the Late Bronze age, the Hittites established the first state – empire in Anatolia. It was a feudalistic and theocratic state in which religion and rituals had outmost importance for consolidating the power of the kings. A study of animal bones recovered from Sapinuwa excavations was initiated with the aim to reconstruct the rituals for which the site is famous. Hittite rituals are stu...
Conservation practices at foreign-run archaeological excavations in Turkey: a critical review Öz Wood, Bilge Nilgün; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2017) Foreign-run excavations are a significant component of archaeological research in Turkey, however, conservation work carried out at these excavations has not been examined in a holistic manner. This research investigates archaeological conservation at foreign-run excavations to identify the scale and nature of differing contributions, and to determine changing approaches, issues impacting conservation practices, as well as possible catalysts, influences and driving forces. The thematic scope, ‘conservation ...
Modelling groundwater flow in a raw materail site of a cement factory, Kocaeli-Darıca, Turkey Işıklı, Yeliz; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2003) An areal numerical simulation has been carried out to investigate effects of below-sea-level (BSL) excavation in the raw material site of a cement factory in Turkey. A finite element model (585 nodes with 534 elements) is formed to solve for the head distribution in the quarry site upon quarry operation planned to be implemented in the near future. The model is calibrated to the field conditions and appropriate boundary conditions and the physical parameters are obtained to be used in future prediction stud...
CALCAREOUS NANNOFOSSILS FROM THE LATE JURASSIC EARLY CRETACEOUS OF NORTHWEST ANATOLIA, TURKEY Altıner, Sevinç (Wiley, 1993-12-01) Within the framework of an integrated stratigraphy, a detailed biostratigraphic study of Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (Tithonian-Valanginian) calcareous nannofossils was carried out in north-west Anatolia, Turkey.
