Examples of Hsiung-nu art come almost exclusively from archaeological excavations of Hsiung-nu burials. As a result, our knowledge of Hsiung-nu art is restricted to works produced for the Hsiung-nu elite and made from materials (metals) that can survive for centuries buried in the earth.

Improved methodology for identification of Goktepe white marble and the understanding of its use: A comparison with Carrara marble
Wielgosz-Rondolino, Dagmara; Antonelli, Fabrizio; Bojanowski, Maciej J.; Gladki, Marcin; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Lazzarini, Lorenzo (2020-01-01)
The provenance of marbles used for ancient statuary and architecture is of utmost importance for archaeologists, art historians and archaeometrists. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive characterisation of the white marble exploited in antiquity in Goktepe (Mugla Province, Turkey) to increase the reliability for identifying this marble in ancient artefacts. A campaign of interdisciplinary archaeological and geological fieldwork undertaken by the Marmora Asiatica project is based on a multi-me...
Assesing the Usage of Calcium and Magnesium Hydroxide Nanoparticles as Consolidant for Dolostones.
Karahan Dağ, Fulya; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe (2018-12-01)
Dolostone has been abundantly used in the construction of monuments during archaeological periods in Anatolia. Several of those monuments have some decay problems to be assessed and need conservation treatments to be developed. In the study, it was aimed to prepare a nanodispersive solution from the dolostone itself and follow its carbonation mineral phases in order to obtain a compatible consolidation treatment for dolostone. A mixture of calcium and magnesium hydroxide nanodispersive solution in ethyl alc...
Engineering geological properties and durability assessment of the Cappadocian tuff
Topal, Tamer (1997-08-14)
Some of the unique landforms, the so-called ''fairy chimneys'', which were formed within the Cappadocian tuff of central Turkey, were used as dwellings in the past and contain culturally valuable wall paintings. However, these structures are undergoing chemical and physical deterioration due to atmospheric effects. For conservation studies, an understanding of the engineering geological properties of the tuff is essential. In this study, emphasis is placed on both material and mass properties of the tuff. T...
Karya’daki Geç Antik Ve Bizans Dönemi Yapı Ve Yerleşimleri Üzerine Bazı Gözlemler
Serin, Ufuk (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2013-6-1)
The present research, which is part of a larger, long-term project entitled the 'Archaeological Survey of the Gulf of Mandalya, Caria', aims to document and interpret the Late Antique and Byzantine monuments and topography of Caria (5th-13th c. AD) and covers the results of nine years of fieldwork (2003-2011). In antiquity the survey-area largely remained under the jurisdiction of Iasos (mod. Kiyikislacik) - the major extinct city in the area - giving its name to the entire territory. This work investigates...
Opal-A rich additives used in ancient lime mortars
Tuncoku, S. Sarp; Caner-Saltik, Emine N. (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-01)
Ancient stone and brick masonry mortars from three monuments in Konya, Central Anatolia dated to the Anatolian Selcuk Period (12th and 13th centuries AD) were examined for their raw material composition and durability characteristics to understand some characteristics of medieval mortar technology.
