How humans got their goats Little is known regarding the location and mode of early domestication animals such as for husbandry. To investigate history goat, Daly et al. sequenced mitochondrial nuclear sequences from ancient specimens ranging hundreds to thousands years in age. Multiple wild populations contributed origin modern during Neolithic. Over time, one type spread became dominant worldwide. However, at whole-genome level, goat are a mix different sources provide evidence multilocus...

Archaeological evidence indicates that pig domestication had begun by ∼10,500 y before the present (BP) in Near East, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggests pigs arrived Europe alongside farmers ∼8,500 BP. A few thousand years after introduction of Eastern into Europe, however, their characteristic mtDNA signature disappeared was replaced haplotypes associated with European wild boars. This turnover could be accounted for substantial gene flow from local boars, although it is also possible...

ABSTRACT Newly initiated research at Direkli cave is helping to define an initial understanding of Epipaleolithic hunter‐gatherer traditions in the central Taurus region southern Turkey. Detailed analysis faunal assemblage suggests that late functioned as a short‐term logistical camp used intercept wild goats ( Capra aegagrus ) high peaks around cave, primarily summer and fall. In addition, hunters opportunistically exploited deer variety other small taxa, including tortoise, forested...

Direkli Cave is an Epipalaeolithic site in the central Taurus mountain range southeastern Turkey that was used by mobile hunter-gatherer communities. The assemblage of beads from cave, made primarily shell (marine and freshwater) stone, shows new evidence both bead materials were brought to shores Mediterranean material culture has relationships Levant, northern Mesopotamia, inner Anatolia. This article questions how such a should be interpreted light existing for Near Eastern Anatolian what...

A bstract Direkli Cave, located in the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey, was occupied by Late Epipaleolithic hunters-gatherers for seasonal hunting and processing game including large numbers wild goats. We report genomic data from new published Capra specimens Cave and, supplemented with historic genomes multiple species, find a novel lineage best represented ∼14,000 year old 2.59X genome sequenced specimen Direkli4. This newly discovered is sister clade to Caucasian tur species (...

Semboller insan yaşamında pek çok alanda soyut sosyalleşmenin düzenleyicisi veya etkileyicisi görevi görmüş nesnelerdir. Bu nesnelerin kökeni önce Paleolitik Çağda zoomorfik bir düşüncenin ya da yaklaşımın sonucuna dayanmakta, aşağı yukarı MÖ 12000’lerden itibaren antropomorfik karakter kazanmaktadır. nesneler arasında el, boynuz, geometrik desenler, noktalar vb. görseller bulunmaktadır. Ancak vücuduna ait başka de vardır. nesnelerden biri vulva, diğeri ise fallustur. Doğumun ve yeni...

Yusufun Kayası Cave is located 45 km east of Kahramanmaraş city center. The cave was discovered as part the “Prehistoric Survey in Province Project” carried out by a team, directed Cevdet Merih Erek between 2006 and 2012. We suggest that elements lithic material culture from cave, including lunates, backed bladelets, end scrapers, perforators, sickle (on fragments blade flakes), denticulated notched tools, have parallels with those “Harifian” defined Negev Sinai regions. At same time, there...

Kazı alanları, arkeoloji biliminin laboratuvarları ve veri kaynaklarıdır. Her kazı alanının kendine özgü uygulamaları vardır. Bu uygulamalar göz önünde bulundurularak farklı yöntemleri geliştirilmiş, ilerleyen teknolojik araç gereçler vasıtasıyla halen geliştirilmeye devam edilmektedir. Sit alanı dinamikleri, kazının nasıl yapılması gerektiğine karar vermede önemli rol oynar. “Yatay Plan Kazıları” “Dikey olarak iki sistematik içinde gerçekleştirilen kazılar sonucunda elde edilecek veriler...

Among the industrial materials of Middle Paleolithic period, side scrapers play most important role. Therefore, in this work we started studying on typological morphology period Karain Cave artifacts. We studied with about hundred and by preliminary investigation selected twentyseven scrapers, because. they have use traces. The observations revealed some results such as abrasion other lnteraction characteristics stone tools. Most tools were made action another simple striking pressures....

Arkeolojide materyal kültür ya da kültürel terimleri yaygın olarak tartışmalara konu olmuştur. Bu tartışmalar sosyal antropoloji, felsefe, sosyoloji gibi diğer bilim dallarının çözümlemeleri üzerinden açıklanmaya çalışılmış ve her bir bilimin kendi metodolojisinde incelenerek ölçütler konulmuştur. Fakat bu süreç içinde arkeolojiden uzaklaşılmış bambaşka gerçekliklere yönelinmiştir. Bunun sebeplerinden biri, arkeolojik materyallerin ne ifade etmesi gerektiğiyle, bunlarla kültürler arasındaki...
