    Despite the availability of large amount of information on human bones, little attention has been given to the environmental conditions of bone weathering and preservation. Secondary hydroxyapatite (carbonated hydroxyapatite for primary bone mineral) as the most well known but intriguing constituent of the bone was determined (SEM) in the pore spaces of a Bitinian (2nd century BC) mans vertebral bone fragment as aggregates together with probable …

  • Preliminary chemical and micromorphological observations on Urartu (800–600 B.C.) ceramics, eastern Turkey

    Open AccessErhan Akça, J M Arocena et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2010Cited by: 3References: 5

    Anatolia has long been a major pottery production center of the ancient world, dating back 7000 cal yr B.P. The Early Iron Age Urartu Kingdom (800–600 B.C.) of eastern Anatolia is known for the production of high‐quality pottery, but little is known regarding firing technology and manufacture of these ceramics. Here we present a preliminary study of Urartu ceramic micromorphology and chemistry and suggest that the Urartus had good knowledge of lo…

  • Application of Soil Analyses as Markers to Characterize a Middle Eastern Chalcolithic - Late Bronze Age Mounds

    John M Ryan, JOHN RYAN et al.ARTICLETürkiye Bilimler Akademisi…2009

    Tell El-Ghassil in Lebanon's Beka'a Valley is typical of mounds, in Syria, Turkey, and Iraq. While stratigraphy and human artefacts are used in archaeological investigations of such sites, soil analysis is a less frequently used. This study involved sampling to a depth of about 6 to 7 meters on exposed surfaces of a vertical transect, as well as away from the mound. The data show that parameters such as organic matter, total and available phospho…

  • Mineralogy and micromorphology of İznik ceramics

    Open AccessSelım Kapur, N Sakarya et al.ARTICLEAnatolian Studies1998Cited by: 2References: 7

    The study of İznik ceramics of different periods revealed that temperatures of about 800–900°C were produced during firing. Glass fragments added to the body for strengthening resulted in the formation of fibrous minerals as clusters in the pores and protruding in the glaze together with Ca and P rich minerals in the raw materials used. The pore size distribution of the pores indicates a uniform temperature rise and fall during the production of …

  • Fibrous minerals in 16th‐century iznik ceramics

    Open AccessSelım Kapur, N Sakarya et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology1993Cited by: 2References: 1

    The presence of uniform orientation patterns of pseudowollastonite indicates a uniform and slow increase of temperature in the furnaces used in the production of the 16th‐century Iznik ceramics. Determination of pseudowollastonite in rounded pores (d = 20–40 μm) in the glaze probably indicates formation of vapor phases in pores. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

  • Mineralogy and micromorphology of chalcolithic and early bronze age Ikiztepe ceramics

    Open AccessSelım Kapur, N Sakarya et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology1992Cited by: 4

    The mineralogy and micromorphology of ceramics from the Ikiztepe site (Chalcolithic and Early Bronze) have firing characteristics that indicate low temperature levels and oxidizing conditions. Stress phenomena indicated by cracks most probably indicate a process of shrinkage. Illuviated clay suggests the occurrence of humid periods with vigorous precipitation, pluvials during the Holocene. Provenance of clays used for production of ceramics is de…

  • Preliminary study of the microstructure and mineralogy of 12th and 13th century ceramics, Samsat, Southeastern Turkey

    Open AccessN Sakarya, Selım Kapur et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology1990Cited by: 6

    The mineralogy and microstructure of 12th and 13th century ceramics from Samsat, Turkey were examined with an X‐ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. There is a highly vitrified interlayer between the glaze and body in these sherds that probably accounts for the high durability of these ceramics. the lower vitrification and uniformity of the body in these ceramics suggests that leftover glaze was not mixed with paste during manufac…
