Uğurlu-Zeytinlik: a new prehistoric settlement on the island of Gökceada
Gökçeada Uğurlu-Zeytinlik şimdiye kadar Doğu Ege Adalarında bulunmuş olan en
erken yerleşmedir. Yerleşmede sürdürülen kazı çalışmaları Neolitik öğelerin Avrupa’ya
aktarımı konusunda kuşku götürmez derecede önemli veriler sağlamaktadır. Üç senelik kazı
çalışmalarımız Uğurlu-Zeytinlik’in Ege bölgesindeki en önemli Neolitik Çağ yerleşmelerinden
biri olduğunu göstermiştir. Adaya en erken yerleşenlerin Neolitik Çağ’da, MÖ 6500 yıllarında
Anadolu’dan geldikleri saptanmıştır. MÖ 5000’lere kadar adada ana karadan bağımsız gelişen
yerel bir kültür gözükür. Daha sonra Batı Anadolu Kumtepe IA-Beşik Sivritepe Kültürü Doğu
Ege Adalarının büyük bir bölümüne hâkim olmuşturThe settlement of Uğurlu-Zeytinlik on the Island of Gökçeada is the earliset
know settlement in Eastern Aegean Islands so far. Certainly, it cannot be doubted that ongoing
excavations at the site provide new data relating to the Neolithization of Europe. Our three
seasons of excavations at Uğurlu have revealed it to be one of the most significant Neolithic
sites in the Aegean region. The earliest Neolithic settlement of Uğurlu was founded by the
newcomers from Anatolia, around 6500 cal. BC. Until 5000 cal. BC, a local culture indepandant
than the mainland appears in the island. Later, the Western Anatolian Kumtepe IA-Beşik
Sivritepe culture have been found in most all of the Eastern Aegean island
CONCEPTUAL ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY: UNDER THE REALITY OF WHITE COVER
Kavramsal Sanat, sanatta kavram ve anlamı öne çıkarmaktadır. Son yıllarda görsel sanatlar ve arkeoloji arasındaki ilişki arkeologlar tarafından irdelenmeye başlanmış, arkeolojik projelerde arkeologlarla sanatçılar ortak çalışmalar üretmeye başlamışlardır. Ayrıca arkeologların çalışmalarında Kavramsal Sanat normlarını kullanmaları maddesel kültür ile farklı bir iletişim ve etkileşime geçmelerini sağlamıştır. Arkeoloji ve sanat arasındaki ilişki her iki disiplini ortak farklı bir noktaya taşımaktadır. Bu makalede Kavramsal Sanat ile bağdaştırılabilen kendi çalışmalarımızdaki deneyimlerimizden bahsedilmektedir.Conceptual art highlights the concept and meaning of art. In recent years, the relationship between visual art and archaeology has begun to be explored by archaeologists. Artists and archaeologists started to work together in archaeological projects. In addition, archaeologists started to use conceptual art norms in their studies to communicate and interact with the material culture. The relationships between art and archaeology are to move away from both disciplines into new spaces. This article describes our experiences in our studies that can be associated with conceptual art
Archaeological evidence for 9th and 8th millennia BC at Girmeler Cave near Tlos in SW Turkey
A mound settlement in front of the Girmeler Cave near the major Lycian city of Tlos in SW Turkey revealed evidence for occupation during the late 9th and 8th millennia BC. The ccupation is characterized by a structure with at least two layers of lime-plastered floor, hearths and bins and a wattle-and-daub superstructure, all pointing to a sedentary community engaged in intensive hunting and gathering. The trial trenches at Girmeler Cave also yielded evidence of an Early Pottery Neolithic period at the end of the 8th millennium BC. The remains of several buildings with terrazzo floors and wattle-and-daub superstructures were found. It is likely that the cave served as a sacred site in the Early Pottery Neolithic period. There was a hiatus between the late 9th/early 8th millennium BC and the Early Pottery Neolithic occupations at the site.Naselbina na gomili pred vhodom v jamo Girmeler v bližini pomembnega likijskega mesta Tlos v jugozahodni Turčiji razkriva dokaze o poselitvi v času poznega 9. in 8. tisočletja pr. n. št. Značilnost poselitve je struktura z vsaj dvema plastema z apnom prekritih tal, ognjišč, odpadnih jam in butane nadgradnje, kar kaže na sedentarno skupnost, ki se je ukvarjala z intenzivnim lovom in nabiralništvom. Testne sonde v jami Girmeler so prinesle dokaze o poselitvi v obdobju zgodnjega keramičnega neolitika ob koncu 8. tisočletja pr. n. št. Odkriti so bili ostanki več zgradb s teraco tlemi in butano nadgradnjo. Verjetno je, da je jama v zgodnjem keramičnem neolitiku služila kot svet kraj. Med poznim 9./zgodnjim 8. tisočletjem pr. n. št. in poselitvijo v zgodnjem keramičnem neolitiku je prepoznana prekinitev
The Neolithic landscape and settlement of the Island of Gökçeada (Imbros, Turkey)
The recent archaeological discoveries on the island of Gökçeada (Imbros) shed new light on the early Prehistory of the North Aegean Islands. The earliest finds date from the Middle Palaeolithic period, and possible Mesolithic/ Epi-palaeolithic chipped stone tools were discovered in the eastern part of the island. Stratigraphic excavations at the site of Uğurlu have clarified the spatial extent of the settlement from Preceramic or Initial Neolithic occupation onwards. Uğurlu Phase VI is dated to 6700-6500 cal. BC. A site near the Salt Lake is probably contemporary with Uğurlu Phase VI. The Neolithic Phase V (6500-6000 cal. BC) at Uğurlu has signs of continuity, and the permanent settlers were agriculturalists who introduced domestic sheep, goats, cattle and pigs to the island. The distribution of Melian and Central Anatolian obsidian suggests long-distance exchange mechanisms during the Neolithic. The sea level and shoreline in the Aegean were different during prehistoric times compared to the present day. During the low sea level of the Last Glacial Maximum the island of Gökçeada, together with all of the North Aegean Islands, was connected to the mainland. Gökçeada, together with Lemnos, became an island probably just after the Younger Dryas, and they were connected by an isthmus. Around 7000-6500 cal. BC, sea level was 20 m lower than today and the separate island of Gökçeada lay close to the Gelibolu Peninsula
A Comparative Study of the Sixth Millennium B.C. Marble Bracelets from Ulucak and Uğurlu
Introduction Marble is probably a symbolically important stone for prehistoric people because of its brightness, patterns, colour, homogeneity and durability. It is likely that the symbolic value of marble objects such as bracelets would have become more diverse in prehistoric life ways, leading to its increased symbolic as well as practical importance. In western Anatolia, marble bracelets appear for the first time around 5600/5500 cal BC. This period of western Anatolia shows significant ch..
