Öğe ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION OF A NEW NEOLITHIC SITE IN WESTERN ANATOLIA: EKSI HoYuK (DENIZLI, TURKEY)(Univ Agean, Dept Mediterranean Stud, 2023) Dedeoglu, Fulya; Ozan, Ali; Konakci, Erim; Temur, Bora; Boz, Basak; Milic, Bogdana; Ilgezdi-Bertram, GulcinArchaeological excavations in the western half of Anatolia in the Lake District and the Aegean coast had provided significant findings on how and when the Neolithic lifestyle emerged in these regions. However, until the beginning of archaeological excavations at Eksi Hoyak, our knowledge about the Neolithisation of the Upper Menderes Basin, which lies between these two regions, was limited to the Neolithic settlements identified during surface surveys. With the start of excavations at Eksi Hoyak, one of the oldest known settlements in Western Anatolia, it became clear how and when the Neolithic lifestyle emerged in the region. The excavations at Eksi Hoyak have also provided detailed information on the diet, raw material use, division of labour and specialisation of Neolithic communities in the Upper Menderes Basin. This paper presents the results of these excavations between 2015 and 2020. A combination of locus and code systems was adopted to record fieldwork, and vector drawing software was used for digitising finds and architectural remains. The distribution of finds and analyses of site use was carried out using GIS software. The ceramics' internal and external surface colours were measured with spectrocolorimetry equipment, and the additives were determined by macroscopic observations. Chipped stone finds were analysed typologically, and macroscopic observations were used to identify obsidian sources. Animal remains are presented statistically by species and age. The demographic distribution of the human remains and the identified diseases are presented.Öğe Bioarchaeology of Neolithic Catalhoyuk: Lives and Lifestyles of an Early Farming Society in Transition(Springer, 2015) Larsen, Clark Spencer; Hillson, Simon W.; Boz, Basak; Pilloud, Marin A.; Sadvari, Joshua W.; Agarwal, Sabrina C.; Glencross, BonnieThe bioarchaeological record of human remains viewed in the context of ecology, subsistence, and living circumstances provides a fundamental source for documenting and interpreting the impact of plant and animal domestication in the late Pleistocene and early to middle Holocene. For Western Asia, Catalhoyuk (7100-5950 cal BC) in central Anatolia, presents a comprehensive and contextualized setting for interpreting living circumstances in this highly dynamic period of human history. This article provides an overview of the bioarchaeology of Catalhoyuk in order to characterize patterns of life conditions at the community level, addressing the question, What were the implications of domestication and agricultural intensification, increasing sedentism, and population growth for health and lifestyle in this early farming community? This study employs demography, biogeochemistry, biodistance analysis, biomechanics, growth and development, and paleopathology in order to identify and interpret spatial and temporal patterns of health and lifestyle under circumstances of rapid population growth and aggregation and changing patterns of acquiring food and other resources. The record suggests that the rapid growth in population size was fueled by increased fertility and birthrate. Although the household was likely the focus of economic activity, our analysis suggests that individuals interred in houses were not necessarily biologically related. Predictably, the community employed resource extraction practices involving increased mobility. Although oral and skeletal indicators suggest some evidence of compromised health (e.g. elevated subadult infection, dental caries), growth and development of juveniles and adult body size and stature indicate adjustments to local circumstances.Öğe CONSIDERING THE RE-USE OF LATE BRONZE AGE BUILDINGS IN LIGHT OF CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION AND HUMAN REMAINS AT BEYCESULTAN(Univ Agean, Dept Mediterranean Stud, 2016) Boz, BasakBeycesultan was an important city located in Western Anatolia during the 2nd millennium BC. The complex political situation in the area caused conflicts between the Arzawan political entity and the Hitites in central Anatolia. Several episodes of destruction by fire at the settlement are thought to be results of these conflicts and the human remains found within the settlement were the victims. The site was resettled after these large fire destructions, believed to be by original settlers. The aim of this work to understand the nature of the deposition of the human remains within the settlement and whether these people were killed in the attacks and/or by the fires. The study of human remains from one building reveals that the human bones within this space were deposited secondarily, which raises more questions about the identity of the new settlers.Öğe Growth and development in the children's skeletons and dentitions from the Neolithic site of Catalhoyuk in Turkey.(Wiley-Liss, 2010) Hillson, Simon; Boz, Basak[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Isotope paleodietary analysis of humans from Chalcolithic Ugurlu, Gokceada Island, Turkey(Elsevier, 2021) Birch, Suzanne E. Pilaar; Boz, Basak; Erdogu, BurcinThe site of Ugurlu Ho spacing diaeresis yuk on the island of Go spacing diaeresis kceada, Turkey, has yielded rich archaeological finds and presented the earliest evidence for the settlement of the eastern Aegean region in the Neolithic. Recent excavations revealed a burial pit containing the skeletons of 11 individuals as well as an additional pit with the partial remains of one individual. Previous work has applied stable isotope analysis to faunal remains at the site throughout the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods. The newly discovered human remains provide an opportunity to gain further insight into the diet and health of the inhabitants of Ugurlu during the Chalcolithic, c. 5300 cal BC. Stable isotope analysis of 11 individuals reveals that their diet consisted primarily of terrestrial animal protein and local C3 crops. There is no evidence for consumption of marine resources, an assertion that agrees with previous interpretations that islanders during this period focused their economy on animal husbandry and cultivation rather than fishing.Öğe A sixth-millennium BC burial pit at Ugurlu on the island of Gokceada(Cambridge Univ Press, 2019) Boz, Basak; Erdogu, Burcin[Abstract Not Available]
