Item Open Access Burial customs of Clazomenae in the iron age (1100-500 BC)(Bilkent University, 2010) Ulusoy, PolatThe present work is a study on the burial customs of Clazomenae in the Iron Age and Archaic period. Special attention is given to Clazomenae, since it yielded significant information from the Protogeometric to the end of the Archaic period. The major aim here is to collect the specific grave and necropolis information and try to interpret them for reaching more holistic conclusions about the burial customs of Clazomenae. This work introduces the burials, burial grounds, and cemeteries of Clazomenae from the Protogeometric to the end of the Archaic period with respect to grave types, grave goods, burial practices, gender, and age. One crucial aim of this work is to understand settlement and necropolis relationship in different periods by the means of the location of the burial grounds; the significance of the extension, development, and changing burial customs of specific cemeteries and their importance with regards to the settlement pattern; and the importance of the continuity, discontinuity, and change of burial grounds through the periods.Item Open Access Early Bronze Age metalwork in Central Anatolia – an archaeometric view from the hamlet(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2014) Zimmermann, T.; Geniş, E. Y.The following contribution discusses the results of spectroscopic analyses carried out on metal artefacts from the Early Bronze Age cemetery of Kalınkaya- Toptaştepe in central Anatolia. Given that archaeometric data from 3rd- millennium BCE Central Anatolia are still quite sparse, tend to stem mainly from earlier central places, and the assemblages from village sites have so far remained largely unexplored, the study we present here is primarily intended to draw much needed attention to the data that are available. Copper-arsenic alloys exist alongside ‘true’ bronzes (copper-tin alloys), and contamination, for example by nickel, can yield much information about specific deposits. The results obtained provide good insights into the use of metals and traditional alloying techniques on a minor settlement at the end of the Anatolian Early Bronze Age.Item Open Access Kalinkaya-Toptastepe, eine chalkolithisch-fruhbronzezeitliche Siedlung mit Nekropole im nordlichen Zentralanatolien: die Grabfunde der Kampagnen von 1971 und 1973(Ernst Wasmuth Verlag GmbH & Co.
