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.

The first casting mould for a ‘Syrian Bottle’ from Lipnik, Bulgaria
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2021-08-25) Leschtakov, L.; Zimmermann, Thomas
The following article presents the first mould ever discovered for casting a so-called “Syrian Bottle”, a distinctive vessel type that originated in Mesopotamia around the mid 3rd millennium BC and soon after spread to Anatolia, the Aegean and Southeast Europe, as imports and local derivatives. A few examples were made from precious metals and lead, the most notable one being a golden globular bottle, part of “Priam’s” Treasure A” from Early Bronze Age Troy. The mould from Lipnik seems to have been intended for the production of small metal bottles of ‘Syrian’ shape, and supportive agents like a green sand core applied for the production of such a complex item. The mould, however, was obviously never used. A review of associated manufacturing details like pegholes, riser and vent show that although these fea-tures were particularly prominent in the 2nd millennium BC, moulds from earlier (Anatolian) contexts do possess such characteristics as well. This currently unique, locally produced example is therefore dated to the latest 3rd or ear-liest second millennium BC, coinciding with ever-growing interaction between distant cultural entities stretching from Mesopotamia to Southeast Europe and beyond, and allowing for the exchange of ideas, fashions and technol-ogies.

The initial stage for early Bronze Age Cyprus: metallurgy of the Philia culture from a maritime cross-cultural perspective
(2018-05) Özdoğan, Çağdaş
The Philia phase is characterized by whole-scale changes in the economy, technology and society of Cyprus, which mark a profound break with the Chalcolithic period on the island. The products of this new culture were so distinct from the rest, that when Dikaios encountered the ceramic finds from this period for the first time, he named them “Philia”, regarding the location of the finds in the cemetery of Philia Vasiliko at the Ovgos valley. However, the nature of this transition is still poorly understood since the discussion mainly revolves around population movement, cultural interaction, or local development. The literature often focuses specifically on the Philia period, disregarding the developments which led to the emergence of the Philia culture. In order to understand the intense changes of the island culture and emergence of the Bronze Age within in the island system, a broader viewpoint must be taken in a long-term temporal perspective. Therefore, this thesis will examine Cyprus as an island culture from the maritime outlook meanwhile analysing the metallurgical aspect of the Philia Phase, which helps one follow the distinct changes that took place in the island in connection with its neighbors.

Metalurji Mühendisliği'nin Türkiye'ye gelişinin öncülerinden: Prof. Dr. Recep Ali Safoğlu'nun hayatı
(Bilkent University, 2020) Safoğlu, Ahmet Selim; Kasımi, Dilara; Özmen, Ümit; Akdoğan, Kemal Taylan
Bu araştırmanın konusu metalurji eğitiminin Türkiye‟deki öncüsü Prof. Dr. Recep Ali Safoğlu‟nun hayatı olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada ilk olarak ailesi, ardından ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise yılları ele alınacaktır. Sonrasında devlet desteği ile metalurji alanında üniversite eğitimi almak için Belçika‟ya gidişi ancak ikinci Dünya Savaşı sebebiyle eğitimine Amerika‟da devam edişi anlatılacaktır. Devamında, yurtdışı eğitimi bitince Etibank ve Murgul Bakır Madeninde yaptığı çalışmalar incelenecektir. Son olarak ise akademik hayata girişi ve Türkiye‟deki metalurji eğitiminin ilk defa İTÜ‟de başlamasına olan katkıları değerlendirilecektir.

Türkiye'de ve ODTÜ'de metalürji ve malzeme mühendisliği ve gelişimi
(Bilkent University, 2023) Aras, Yiğit; Taner, Aylin; Topaktaş, İrem; Ümit, Yiğit; Yazıcı, Deniz
ODTÜ Metalürji ve Malzeme Mühendisliği bölümü 1966 yılında kurulmuştur. Türkiye’deki ilk Metalürji ve Malzeme Mühendisliği bölümlerinden biridir. Bu sebeple Türkiye’de malzeme biliminin ve eğitiminin öncülerinden olmuştur. Eğitim şekli, dünya çapında başarılı üniversitelerden etkilenerek belirlenmiştir. Bu eğitim programı, Türk sanayisine ve ihtiyaçlarına uygun şekilde optimize edilmiştir. Bu nedenle Türk sanayisinde önemli bir role sahiptir. İlerleyen yıllarda daha da gelişerek öğrencilerine Metalürji ve Malzeme Mühendisliğinin birçok farklı alanında uzmanlaşma ve bu alanlarda çalışma yapma imkânı sunmaya başlamıştır. Kurulduğu andan itibaren layık görüldüğü ABET, Amerikan mühendislik akreditasyonuna sahip olmakla birlikte Metalürji ve Malzeme Mühendisliği eğitiminde dünya çapında bir yere sahiptir. ODTÜ’de Metalürji ve Malzeme Mühendisliği eğitimi hala devam etmekte ve bu alanda başarılı hocalar ve mühendisler yetiştirmektedir.
