Publication Metadata only Art and identity in Dark Age Greece, 1100-700 b.c.e(Archaeological Inst America, 2009) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Parasite infection at the early farming community of Çatalhöyük(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019) Ledger, Marissa L.; Anastasiou, Evilena; Mitchell, Piers D.Shillito, Lisa-Marie; Mackay, Helen; Bull, Ian D.; Knusel, Christopher J.; Haddow, Scott Donald; Researcher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThe early village at Catalhoyuk (7100-6150 BC) provides important evidence for the Neolithic and Chalcolithic people of central Anatolia. This article reports on the use of lipid biomarker analysis to identify human coprolites from midden deposits, and microscopy to analyse these coprolites and soil samples from human burials. Whipworm (Trichuris trichiura) eggs are identified in two coprolites, but the pelvic soil samples are negative for parasites. Catalhoyuk is one of the earliest Eurasian sites to undergo palaeoparasitological analysis to date. The results inform how intestinal parasitic infection changed as humans modified their subsistence strategies from hunting and gathering to settled farming.Publication Metadata only The cultural lives of domestic objects in late antiquity(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Uytterhoeven, Inge; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 27313N/APublication Metadata only Across the hellespont: Maydos (Ancient Madytos), Troy and The North-Eastern Aegean in the late eighth to early sixth century BC(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2016) Sazcı, Göksel; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThis article presents new excavation results from three oval or apsidal houses discovered at the site of Maydos-Kilisetepe (ancient Madytos), which is located near the coast of the Hellespont on the Gallipoli peninsula. The houses date to the late eighth to early sixth century BC. The material from Maydos is evaluated in comparison with the nearby site of Troy (Ilion) and situated within the wider context of developments in the north-eastern Aegean region during the Late Geometric to Early Archaic periods. From the mid-eighth to the mid-seventh century, a cultural koine existed in the north-eastern Aegean, shown by the strong similarities in material culture among the sites in the region. Troy was most probably a large regional centre, while Maydos functioned as a smaller settlement within this network. The power and influence of this koine declined or was replaced in the mid-seventh century, when there was a sudden influx of Ionian-style ceramics at Maydos, around the same time that Troy experienced a destruction. The patterns of cultural interactions changed with the establishment of Greek (primarily Ionian and Athenian) colonies on both sides of the Hellespont during the second half of the seventh to the early sixth century.Publication Metadata only 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/AExcavations 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.Publication Metadata only At empires' edge: project Paphlagonia - regional survey in north-central Turkey(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2011) N/A; Blaylock, Stuart; Reseacher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/A; N/APublication Metadata only Rome, Portus and the Mediterranean(Maney Publishing, 2015) N/A; Sekedat, Bradley M.; Researcher; N/A; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Provisioning an urban center under foreign occupation zooarchaeological insights into the Hittite presence in late fourteenth-century BCE Alalakh(Penn State University Press, 2014) Cakirlar, Canan; Gourichon, Lionel; Birch, Suzanne Pilaar; Berthon, Remi; Akar, Murat; N/A; Yener, Kutlu Aslıhan; Faculty Member; N/A; N/AThe effects of foreign military interventions on production and distribution systems in occupied lands are commonly assessed through the study of textual sources and pottery typologies in Bronze Age archaeology and historiography. In this article, we explore the zooarchaeological record of the recently uncovered Late Bronze IIA deposits at Alalakh (Tell Atchana) to test whether the Hittite intrusion into Syria had any effect on the economic organization of local policies. The quantitative analysis of taxonomic compositions, mortality profiles, and body part distributions suggests that while slight modifications occurred in the distribution of provisions, the faunal economy of Alalakh did not go through drastic changes under Hittite rule.Publication Metadata only Reconstructing feast provisioning at Halaf Domuztepe: evidence from radiogenic strontium analyses(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Gordon, Gwyneth W.; Knudson, Kelly J.; N/A; Lau, Hannah Kwai-Yung; Researcher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (RCAC) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/A; N/AThe role of animal economies, and particularly the provisioning of feasts, in supporting the rise and maintenance of social complexity are topics of global interest in anthropology. This study investigates how people chose to provision feasts during the late Neolithic Halaf Period in Northern Mesopotamia (ca. 6000-5300 cal. BCE). Zooarcheological assemblages from the Halaf site of Domuztepe (ca. 6000-5450 cal. BCE), located in southeastern Turkey, offer an opportunity to investigate these phenomena. Radiogenic strontium isotope data derived from teeth from livestock (sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs) recovered from both domestic trash and the refuse from large-scale feasting events provide important proxy evidence for ancient peoples' provisioning of feasts and their coordination in animal resource production. Results indicate that animals consumed at feasts were drawn from the same herded population that fed inhabitants at the site daily. This has important social implications for feast organizers, whose choices would affect the community beyond the individual feast event.Publication Metadata only Investigating the origins of two main types of middle and late Byzantine amphorae(Elsevier, 2018) Waksman, Sylvie Yona; Skartsis, Stefania S.; Kontogiannis, Nikos D.; Todorova, Evelina P.; Vaxevanis, Giannis; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Kontogiannis, Nikolaos; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 258781Unlike Late Roman/Early Byzantine amphorae, Middle and Late Byzantine amphorae have been little studied and their origins and contents are still largely unknown. Out of the four main types distinguished by Gunsenin, two were investigated in the present research: types Gunsenin II (10th-11th century AD) and Gunsenin III (12th-13th century AD). Samples taken from various excavations and find spots in central Greece, located in Thebes, Chalcis, and the countryside of Euboea were investigated for their provenance by chemical analysis. Thanks to previously established reference groups, samples of amphorae Gunsenin III, of part of amphorae Gunsenin II and of transitional types could be attributed to Chalcis, whose harbor played a major role in the Aegean at the medieval period.
