Here we present recent insights from ancient genomics studies into these societies while focusing on two questions: the population processes driving cultural change in Neolithic central Anatolia and gen...
Ancient genomics in Anatolia: challenges and opportunities Somel, Mehmet (null; 2019-10-19) The increasing availability of ancient genomes has been accelerating studies in a number of fields, including human history, molecular evolution, and conservation biology. The METU/Hacettepe Ancient DNA Group has been contributing to these endeavors by producing and analyzing ancient DNA data from archaeological human and animal remains of Anatolian origin, from the last 10,000 years. However, the temperate climate conditions across most parts of Anatolia drive rapid DNA degradation, and most biological mat...
Ancient DNA isolation and mitochondrial DNA analysis of human samples from Çemialo Sırtı, Batman in Southeast Anatolia Yaka, Reyhan; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2015) The main purpose of the study was to obtain aDNA sequences of ancient human remains in the dedicated ancient DNA (aDNA) laboratory which was established at Middle East Technical University, in 2012. For this purpose, human samples approximately dating between 600-500 BC from Çemialo Sırtı excavation site in Batman in southeast Anatolia, were employed. aDNA extraction was performed using bone and teeth samples from 9 human skeletal remains. Then the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Hypervariable region I and Hyperv...
Ancient Dna Analysis For Correct Identification Of Charred Crop Seeds From Archaeological Excavations At Bronze Age Kaymakçı ÖZDEMİR DEĞİRMENCİ, FUNDA; ULUĞ, ASİYE; KANSU, ÇİĞDEM; Luke, Christina; Roosevelt, Chris; Kaya, Zeki (2022-10-21) Archaeobotanical materials subject to aDNA analysis were recovered from the site of Kaymakçı, one of several settlements in the middle Gediz Valley dating to the Middle and Late Bronze Age, c. 3500–4000 years ago. Excavations at Kaymakçı have yielded many charred ancient seeds representing various crop species, including Triticum aestivum/durum L., Hordeum vulgare L., Vicia ervillia (L) Willd., Cicer arietinum L., and Vitis vinifera L., demonstrating crop cultivation practices for both human and animal cons...
Ancient DNA from 8400 Year-Old Çatalhöyük Wheat: Implications for the Origin of Neolithic Agriculture Bilgic, Hatice; Hakki, Erdogan E.; Pandey, Anamika; Khan, Mohd. Kamran; Akkaya, Mahinur S. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2016-3-21) Human history was transformed with the advent of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent with wheat as one of the founding crops. Although the Fertile Crescent is renowned as the center of wheat domestication, archaeological studies have shown the crucial involvement of Catalhoyuk in this process. This site first gained attention during the 1961-65 excavations due to the recovery of primitive hexaploid wheat. However, despite the seeds being well preserved, a detailed archaeobotanical description of the samples...
