    Visibility graph Aanalysis and monumentality in the Iron Age City at Kerkenes in central Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Osborne, James F.; N/A; Summers, Geoffrey D.; Researcher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/A; N/A
    This paper investigates symmetry and visualization at two monumental gateways excavated in the late 7th-6th centuries B.C. Phrygian city on Mount Kerkenes (Turkish: Kerkenes Dag.) in central Turkey. One of these, the Cappadocia Gate, is one of seven city gates piercing the 7 km stone-built defenses; the other is the Monumental Entrance to the Palatial Complex. We use visibility graph analysis (VGA), a branch of space syntax analysis, and viewshed isovists to demonstrate that a similar visual and symbolic conception underlay the design and furnishing of these two gates. Both were conceived to signal different messages to people entering and exiting the gates, and both manipulated the visibility of cultic statuary to achieve this effect. Other contemporaneous monuments, like the Midas Monument in the Phrygian Highlands, shared many of the same principles. VGA reveals fundamental characteristics of the experience of Phrygian monumental architecture and also indicates a degree of city planning.

    New tin mines and production sites near Kültepe in Turkey: a third-millennium BC highland production model
    (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2015) Kulakoglu, Fikri; Yazgan, Evren; Kontani, Ryoichi; Hayakawa, Yuichi S.; Lehner, Joseph W.; Ozturk, Guzel; Johnson, Michael; Kaptan, Ergun; Hacar, Abdullah; Department of Archeology and History of Art; N/A; Türkkan, Kutlu Aslıhan; Arıkan, Gonca Dardeniz; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/A
    An unexpected new source of tin was recently located at Hisarcik, in the foothills of the Mount Erciyes volcano in the Kayseri Plain, close to the Bronze Age town of Kultepe, ancient Kanesh and home to a colony of Assyrian traders. Volcanoes in Turkey have always been associated with obsidian sources but were not known to be a major source of heavy metals, much less tin. X-ray fluorescence analyses of the Hisarcik ores revealed the presence of minerals suitable for the production of complex copper alloys, and sufficient tin and arsenic content to produce tin-bronze. These findings revise our understanding of bronze production in Anatolia in the third millennium BC and demand a re-evaluation of Assyrian trade routes and the position of the Early Bronze Age societies of Anatolia within that network.

    Composing communities: chalcolithic through Iron age survey ceramics in the Marmara Lake basin, western Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2015) Çilingiroğlu, Çiler; Department of Archeology and History of Art; N/A; Roosevelt, Christina Marie Luke; Roosevelt, Christopher Havemeyer; Cobb, Peter J.; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Researcher; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 235112; 235115; N/A
    Diachronic survey in the Marmara Lake basin of western Turkey confirms long-term settlement activity from the 5th millennium B. C. to the present. Here we present the results from a study of ceramics and settlement distribution pertaining to the Chalcolithic through the Iron Age periods (ca. 5th/4th-1st millennium B. C.). Our dataset confirms the value of a multi-pronged approach when establishing ceramic typologies from survey datasets, incorporating distribution in the landscape with macroscopic, microscopic (petrographic), and chemical (Instrumental Neutron Activation) analyses. Our results offer valuable insights into continuity as well as change of ceramic recipes in western Anatolia during the rise of urbanism in the Middle to Late Bronze Age followed by the establishment of an imperial realm in the Iron Age. From a methodological perspective, our results illustrate the value of macroscopic and chemical approaches, including principal component, distribution, density, and discriminant analyses that can be refined further by petrography, for the interpretation of surface survey ceramics.

    A pottery kiln from Tatarlı Höyük (Adana, Turkey) and its implications for Late Bronze Age pottery production in Cilicia and beyond
    (Koc Univ Suna & İnan Kıraç Res Ctr Mediterranean Civilizations-AKMED, 2018) Girginer, K. Serdar; Oyman Girginer, Özlem; N/A; Arıkan, Gonca Dardeniz; PhD Student; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 313982
    This article documents a Late Bronze Age II (1450-1200 B.C.) pottery kiln unearthed at Tatarli Hoyuk, Adana (Turkey). This pyrotechnical installation, with its associated ceramic assemblage and production remains, offers an overview of the pottery kiln technologies in Cilicia during the end of the Late Bronze Age. The typological features of the Tatarli Hoyuk pottery kiln presents encouraging similarities to northern Syrian and Mesopotamian updraft pottery kiln technologies rather than those of central Anatolia, even though the political and social influence of the Hittite Empire has been documented by ceramic and seal collections of the settlement.

    Agropastoralism in middle bronze through early iron age Naxcivan: zooarchaeological and paleoethnobotanical data from Qizqala
    (Elsevier, 2020) Proctor, Lucas; Gopnik, Hilary; Bakhshaliyev, Veli; N/A; Lau, Hannah Kwai-Yung; Researcher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (RCAC) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/A; N/A
    Excavations at the site of Qizqala in the Sarur Rayon of Azerbaijan's Autonomous Republic of Naxcivan have yielded evidence of a fortified settlement occupied from the Middle Bronze through the Early Iron Ages (2500-800 BCE), as well as a rich mortuary landscape of monumental kurgan burials dating to the Middle Bronze Age. This study describes the combined faunal and macrobotanical evidence for agropastoral production from the settlement at Qizqala and from animal offerings incorporated into nearby contemporaneous mortuary contexts. Such data provide a unique opportunity to elucidate the underlying subsistence system supporting the inhabitants at Qizqala, and to compare this system with the choices ancient people made when interring their dead in the nearby kurgans. While this dataset is modest, our goal is to integrate both plant and animal data stemming from different types of social practices in order to draw a more holistic view of agropastoral production and ritual practice during this period.
