By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in Southeastern Europe West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize Chalcolithic period Bronze Age (about 5000 to 1000 BCE), when extensive gene flow entangled it with Eurasian steppe. Two streams of migration transmitted Caucasus Anatolian/Levantine ancestry northward, Yamnaya pastoralists, formed on steppe, then spread southward into Balkans across Armenia, where they left numerous patrilineal...
Literary and archaeological sources have preserved a rich history of Southern Europe West Asia since the Bronze Age that can be complemented by genetics. Mycenaean period elites in Greece did not differ from general population included both people with some steppe ancestry others, like Griffin Warrior, without it. Similarly, central area Urartian Kingdom around Lake Van lacked characteristic kingdom's northern provinces. Anatolia exhibited extraordinary continuity down to Roman Byzantine...
We present the first ancient DNA data from Pre-Pottery Neolithic of Mesopotamia (Southeastern Turkey and Northern Iraq), Cyprus, Northwestern Zagros, along with Armenia. show that these neighboring populations were formed through admixture pre-Neolithic sources related to Anatolian, Caucasus, Levantine hunter-gatherers, forming a continuum ancestry mirroring geography West Asia. By analyzing Pottery Anatolia, we former derived between Mesopotamian-related local Epipaleolithic-related...
In this study, we investigated the Kuriki Mound Area using direct current resistivity and magnetometry. The investigation site is considered first settlement area dated to four thousand years. purpose of geophysical study was excavation rescue historical heritage, which will be flooded due a dam constructed in region. data that were measured field along parallel lines interpreted 2D 3D inversion algorithms deficiencies compared inversion. Moreover, identified anomalous zones very clearly by...
The region covering Southeastern Anatolia takes place in upper Mesopotamia, so it has numerous cultural heritages due to its witness various social movements of different civilizations ancient times. Kuruki Mound is located on the junction point Tigris River and Batman Creek, near Oymatas village which almost 15 km Batman, Turkey. mound dated back Late Chalcolithic. Archaeological excavations are carried out two hills named as “Kuriki Mound-1” Mound-2” 4-layer 2-layer settlements have been...
Bu çalışma, Ilısu Barajı ve HES Projesi kapsamında kazısı yapılan Kuriki Höyük yerleşimi ile ilgili genel sonuçları içermektedir. Höyük, Batman Çayı’nın doğu yakasında Dicle Nehri’ne kavuştuğu noktada yer almaktadır. Yerleşme birbirine yaklaşık 70 m mesafede bulunan iki küçük tepeden oluşur (Kuriki 1 2). Yedi yıl süren kazılar, yerleşimin Geç Kalkolitik Dönem’den MS 1. bin yıla kadar ara kesintilerle devam ettiğini ortaya koymuştur. MÖ 4. binyıla geriye giden en eski yerleşim, 1’de saptanmış...
Kayseri il merkezinin 20 km kuzeydoğusunda yer alan Kültepe-Kaniş, Erciyes Dağı’nın kuzeyinde uzanan ve Sarımsaklı Deresi tarafından sulanan bereketli ovada yükselmektedir. Kaniş höyüğü aşağı şehir olmak üzere iki bölümden oluşan yerleşim 2,5 çapındadır. Bu ölçüleriyle Kültepe yalnız Anadolu’nun değil aynı zamanda tüm eski Yakın Doğu’nun en büyük Tunç Çağı kentlerinden birisidir. makale, Doğu arkeolojisi için kilit yerlerinden olan Kültepe-Kaniş’in MÖ 3. binyıl sonu-2. başına tarihlenen son...
The present study reports the results obtained through an archaeometric investigation on representative Early Bronze Age plain simple wares of Tilbeshar which is located almost 32 km southeast Gaziantep (Turkey). samples were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction), thin section (optical microscopy), FTIR (Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy), TG-DTA (Thermogravimetric Differential Thermal Analysis) and SEM/EDX (scanning electron microcopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)....
