    Recent surveys led by the author in Karaburun Peninsula discovered multiple prehistoric sites. This article introduces one of the Neolithic sites called Kömür Burnu in this marginal zone of coastal western Anatolia. The site offered various advantages to early farmer-herders including freshwater and basalt sources as well as proximity to agricultural lands, forested areas and marine resources. The plain slipped pottery from the site suggests a date between 6200-6000 cal. BC for the Neolithic occupation. P-XRF characterization of obsidian pieces from Kömür Burnu revealed that these were acquired from two different sources (Melos-Adamas and Göllüdağ). These constitute the first evidence for the participation of Karaburun early farmer-herders in the exchange networks that were active in Neolithic Anatolia and the Aegean. The differential technological features of these pieces concur well with the dual obsidian mobility model suggested by M. Milić for the western Anatolian Neolithic. Univerza Ege je nedavno izvedla površinske preglede na polotoku Karaburun, ki se na­haja na obalnem predelu v zahodni Anatoliji, in odkrila številna nova prazgodovinska najdišča. V članku predstavljamo eno od neolitskih najdišč, in sicer najdišče Komur Burni. Najdišče se nahaja na območju, ki je bilo ugodno za poselitev prvih poljedelcev in živinorejcev, saj ima dostop do sveže pitne vode, do naravnih surovin (bazalt) in do kmetijskih površin, gozda in morja. Materialna kultura kaže, da je bilo to območje poseljeno ok. 6200–6000 pr. n. št. Analiza P-XRF je pokazala, da so obsidian iz najdišča Komur Burnu pridobivali iz dveh geografskih območij (Melos-Adamas in Golludag). To je prvi dokaz o tem, da so bili prvi poljedelci in živinorejci na polotoku Karaburun v času neolitika že vključeni v sistem menjav med Anatolijo in otoki v Egejskem morju. Predvsem je opazno, da lahko te najdbe na podlagi njihovih različnih tehnoloških značilnosti dobro umestimo v model dvojne mobilnosti obsidiana kot ga je predlagala Marina Milić za zahodno Anatolijo v času neolitika

    Exploratory wrangling and annotation of Tweets

    Twitter is an ever growing social platform that is full of ideas and opinions. Huge amount of data is produced daily that is usually too cumbersome to process and mine for the opinions of individuals. As of 2010, 55 million tweets are sent daily and the number is doubled by now. Also twitter data is not structured as a text based information source, considering the lack of structure of the data along with its huge volume, it is nearly impossible to have a healthy summarization of all the ideas and opinions at real time. Therefore in this work we propose a set of algorithms to cluster relevant tweets and similar tweets talking about the same concept on twitter domain. We demonstrate and explain how this information can be used on tweets. As a side benefit we also use these algorithms to detect bots or spammer accounts on twitter since we place such tweets to the same clusters. We show that by transforming twitter data into a clustered structure we are able to overcome problems such as detecting bots and providing a neat summary of the data. these are solvable by transforming the unstructured data environment of twitter to a structured data environment by forming clusters and buckets over the data feed. Another interesting observation we made is that the clusters we form follow the Pareto principle therefore by inspecting only 20% of the clusters we can cover 80% of the whole data

    Human Activity in Palaeolithic Period in Çanakkale Province

    It is acknowledged in the light of today's information that human species first appeared in Africa and spread to other parts of the world. It is one of the most important issues to determine which routes human species took during this process and where their living areas were located. Due to its position between Africa, Asia and Europe, the Anatolian peninsula is a region of critical importance for the investigation of this issue. In Çanakkale province, which is located in a key region in terms of fossil human population spread to Europe, 40 locality where Paleolithic chipped stone finds were found were determined during the surveys carried out between 2014 and 2017. This number is expected to increase as a result of the research to be carried out in the following years. During these researches, 16 caves were found and excavations were initiated in İnkaya Cave, which has an intensive human settlement. In this study, field surveys in Çanakkale province that have been ongoing for 4 seasons and the fossil human traces in the light of the findings obtained from these studies are discussed
