Wood species of Karaburun anchors used in archaic period ships
Two anchors discovered at Karaburun on the Black Sea coast in 2011 are very rare examples of wooden anchors from the Archaic period. The anchors, dated to the Archaic period, measure 460.5 cm (KA1) and 502 cm (KA2) in length. The solid piece of wood used to form the body and arms of the anchors was identified as a member of the white oak group ( Quercus Sect. Quercus ); in addition, holm oak ( Quercus ilex L.), common dogwood ( Cornus sanguinea L…
Wooden remains from Kendale Hecala
Tree-Ring Dating of Turkish Musical Instruments
Turkey has a rich music culture and different kinds of musical instruments. Production of musical instruments in Turkey involved different cultural influences and evolved over time through a master-journeyman relationship until the mid-20th Century. Despite the rich Turkish music culture, studies on the technical properties and dendrochronological dating of traditional musical instruments are still almost completely absent. Sixteen instruments ty…
Wooden remains found at Daskyleion and their anatomical examination
The wooden remains found in T6 and T7 tumuli and “Three-Room Building” complex of Acrodaskyleion are the subject of the study. These samples were found in the sockets of copper alloy arrowheads in T6 Tumulus. Also, another sample was found in a bullet covered tenon on a marble block in the T7 Tumulus. Anatomical examination on wooden samples, the arrows was made of poplar/willow. The wooden specimen found in the tenon belongs to the Black pine, t…
Dendrochronological analysis and radiocarbon dating of charcoal remains from the multi-period site of Uşaklı Höyük, Yozgat, Turkey
In the current study we use methods in dendrochronological dating, radiocarbon dating and wiggle-matching analysis to accurately date charcoal samples collected from the archaeological site of Uşaklı Höyük, Yozgat, Turkey. These data contribute to the understanding of the stratigraphical relationships in three different contexts of this multi-period mound. The examined charcoal materials were identified as cedar (Cedrus sp.) and oak (Quercus sp.)…
Dendrochronology and archival texts
This paper provides the results of the dendrochronological analyses of seven wood samples from the Ottoman fortress of Seddülbahir on the Gallipoli Peninsula or Turkey. It concludes that the trees were cut in the late spring of 1656. The data collected allows the first building phase of the fortress to be securely dated. By bringing together the dendrochronological results with various archival records about the fortress, a more precise building …
Palynological evidence for human occupation in western Rough Cilicia (southwest Turkey)
Bridging the Gaps in Tree-Ring Records
Dendrochronological research in North-Central Europe and the East Mediterranean has produced networks of long regional oak ( Quercus sp.) reference chronologies that have been instrumental in dating, provenancing, and paleoclimate research applications. However, until now these two important tree-ring networks have not been successfully linked. Oak forests and historical/archaeological sites in southeastern Europe provide the key for linking the …
The archaeology of deforestation in south coastal Turkey
The Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project investigates landscape transformation as a component to its regional survey of ancient Rough Cilicia (south coastal Turkey opposite Cyprus). Rough Cilicia was celebrated during antiquity for pristine cedar forests that stood between 1500 and 1800 m in altitude along the slopes of the Taurus Mountains. Today along the front range of the Taurus Mountains this forest is completely denuded or otherwise …
Tree-ring reconstructions of May–June precipitation for western Anatolia
In this study, we aim to examine past dry and wet events for the western Anatolia, performing local and spatial reconstructions. 17 new black pine site chronologies were developed, May–June precipitation time series were reconstructed for four localities, and the first spatial May–June precipitation reconstruction was achieved for western Anatolia. The long-term local May–June precipitation reconstructions contain mostly one-year and less commonl…
May–June precipitation reconstruction of southwestern anatolia, Turkey during the last 900 years from tree rings
A May–June precipitation reconstruction (AD 1097–2000) has been developed for southwestern Anatolia in Turkey, the longest reported to date in this region. The reconstruction was derived from a regional Juniperus excelsa chronology that was built from material sampled at four sites in the Antalya and Mersin Districts. The regional tree-ring chronology accounts for 51% of the variance of instrumentally observed May–June precipitation. The years AD…
