(2020) Kodas, Ergul; Çiftçi, Yunus; Kodas, Charlotte Labedan; Özkan, Kazım
Boncuklu Tarla kazılarında elde edilen yeni veriler arkeoloji literatüründe belirsiz taş obje, token/jeton ya da klasik adıyla kulak tıkacı (stone plugs) veya tıkaç (plugs) olarak isimlendirilen objelerin kullanımı ve terminolojisi üzerine yeni bir boyut kazandırmakta. Bu makalenin amacı da yerleşim yerinde ele geçen söz konusu objelerin terminolojik tanımlamaları ve fonksiyonel özellikleri üzerine yeni öneriler sunmaktır. Bu makalede 2012 ve 2017 yıllarında Boncuklu Tarla kazılarında bulunan ve tipolojik olarak belli form veren örnekler incelenmiş ve bu bağlamda söz konusu objelerin tipolojileri ve işlevleri üzerine yeni öneriler sunulmuştur.
First Observations on the Excavations in the Terrace Area of Uluköy Cave, Mardin/Türkiye
(University Chicago Press, 2025) Kodas, Ergul; Erbil, Esref; Kodas, Charlotte Labedan; San, Mehmet
The emergence of sedentary societies in southeastern Anatolia has been the focus of numerous studies in recent years, particularly those concentrating on Early Neolithic mound settlements located along the riverbanks of the Euphrates Basin and the Tigris Valley. However, research on the Late Epipaleolithic communities in this region remains limited. Currently, our knowledge of the early phase of the transition to sedentary lifestyle in southeastern Anatolia is based on information gathered from only five archaeological sites, most of which are situated along the Tigris: K & ouml;rtik Tepe, & Ccedil;emka H & ouml;y & uuml;k, Boncuklu Tarla, Biris Mezarligi, and S & ouml;g & uuml;t Tarlasi. Recently, the excavation of Ulukoy Cave in 2023 and 2024, located in the Mardin Range, led to the discovery of Epipaleolithic architectural features and lithic tools in its terrace. This article presents our initial observations from this archaeological site.

Uluköy Mağarası Kazıları, Mardin/Türkiye: İlk Rapor

Although research on the Palaeolithic Age in Anatolia is limited, it has gradually increased and started to yield clearer results. Most of the research on the Palaeolithic Age in the region consists of surveys, with archaeological excavations being quite limited. Our knowledge about this period is primarily based on information obtained from surveys, with only a small contribution from the few archaeological excavations conducted. As a result of the research carried out in Anatolia, the existence of almost all phases of the Palaeolithic Age is known. However, in Southeastern Anatolia, which is also an important part of Northern Mesopotamia, much less research has been conducted. The Uluköy Cave (Şıkefta Elobrahimo) in the Uluköy neighborhood of the Kızıltepe district of Mardin province provides important information on the Palaeolithic Age. The archaeological layers found in this settlement add a new dynamic to Palaeolithic research in the region and reveal the existence of chipped stone industries, such as Yabrudiyan, Hummaliyan, and Emireh, which are mostly defined in the Syria-Levant area, in Southeastern Anatolia (Northern Mesopotamia).
