dc.description.abstract | The relationship of architecture to social complexity is a subject that is often
pronounced. This thesis aims to study how architecture relates to social
complexity for a particular period and place: for the Early Bronze Age in
Southeastern Anatolia. Three sites in the region, Titriş, Kurban, and Lidar are
chosen as the case study for this purpose. The sites are studied through an
analysis of architectural features, such as planning, access and circulation
patterns, and boundary control, in order to understand the nature and degree of
complexity. In addition to architecture, burials are studied as indicators of social
complexity to provide an independent set of data. Differentiation in size, type,
and wealth of the burials are among the main criteria used to evaluate
complexity. Other archaeological information, such as seals, pottery, and
figurines are also used when necessary and relevant. The results of the study of
the burials are then compared to results of the architectural analysis, in order to
articulate in what ways they relate. As a conclusion, it is observed that
architectural complexity parallels social complexity in all three sites. This
conclusion is also confirmed by the instances of the two other sites studied as
comparanda: the Ubaid settlement of Değirmentepe in Anatolia as a contrasting case and the Early Bronze Age settlement of Tell Taya in Iraq as a conforming one. | en_US |
