Epipaleolitik-Neolitik Dönem Anadolu toplumlarinin üretim ve ticari faaliyetleri
(Bilgin Kültür Sanat Yayınları, 2019) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar
During the early phase of Epipaleolithic Period, like many other regions in West Asia, the seasonally settled mobile hunter-gatherer groups in Anatolia had regular connection with other prehistoric groups lived in close and distant geographical regions. These mobile hunter-gatherer groups produced various types of tools and material objects, and often involved in exchange activities. There was an increase in exchanging activities of precious and symbolic objects in later period, particularly among the semi-settled Late Epipaleolithic groups. On the other hand, with the beginning of Pre-Pottery Neolithic, the prehistoric people in Anatolia were living sedentary life in the permanent villages, and were deeply involved in exchange of technology, culture as well as regional and inter-regional trade activities. These cultural exchanges, along with the regular trade activities, eventually helped the development and spread of Neolithic way of life all across the Southeast, Central and West Anatolia, and their neighboring regions. The new way of life was primarily based on agriculture and animal husbandry, but had a wide range of production activities related to architecture, pottery, stone tools, bone tools, beads, baskets and also a high number of ritual and symbolic materials. With the help of various examples of material cultures and significant archaeological discoveries, this study aims to evaluate different types of production and trade activities, particularly among the Epipaleolithic and Neolithic people groups in Anatolia.
Kuzeydoğu Anadolu’nun En Eski Yerleşimi Alaybeyi Höyük Hayvan Kalıntıları
(2019) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar
Alaybeyi Höyük yerleşmeden toplam 4591 kemik ve kemik parçası kaydedilmiştir. Bunlardan 2569 kemik, belli bir hayvanın cins veya tür düzeyinde tanımlanmıştır. Diğer kemik ve kemik parçaları arasında, 136 örnek yanmış, 1886 örnek omurga, kaburga, parçalı ve tanımlanamayan kemikler olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Zooarkeolojik analiz için yalnızca cins ve tür düzeyinde tanımlanmış olan 2569 kemik örnek kullanılmıştır. Öte yandan, yerleşmenin stratigrafik tabakaları ve kronolojik olarak zaman değişimleri gözetilmeksizin, türler ve ölüm yaşını belirlemek için kullanılan yöntemler, tespit edilen tüm örneklerde uygulanmıştır.
Primary Archaeozoological observations on the faunal remains of Kanlıtaş Höyük, an Early Chalcolithic settlement in north-western Anatolia, Turkey
(PZAF 2017, 2017) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar
Kanlıtaş Höyük is a mound site situated at the edge of a mountainous region of Eskişehir province in north-western Anatolia. This was an Early Chalcolithic factory site mainly for marble bracelets production. Besides, Kanlıtaş people were intensely cultivating crops. However, faunal remains, as well as stone tools, suggest that Kanlıtaş people were still regular hunter for their subsistence. Although big animals are present, small ruminants (Ovicaprids), wild boars (Sus scrofa), deer (C. elaphus and D. dama), hares (Lepus sp.), birds (Alectoris sp., Anas sp., Goose sp. etc.) and aquatic species are found as the most profoundly consumed species comprising more than 78% of total fauna. Some carnivore species (Felis sylvestris, Canis lupus, Vulpes vulpes, Ursus sp. etc.) are also found common. Primary observations suggest outer settlement butchering practice, and burn marks, especially around the edge, on a large number of bones suggest open firing or direct heat food processing which is unlikely that people were mostly cooking meat by pot, although high quality pottery remains are present in the site. Moreover, identified animal species illustrate a mixed ecology and habitat system which indicate a mixture of subsistence strategies of the inhabitants. Kanlıtaş Höyük is considered to be one of the most important settlements of Chalcolithic Porsuk culture and a connecting site for the cultural contact between Central Anatolia, Western Anatolia and Balkans during 6th millennium B.C. Thus, faunal remains Kanlıtaş Höyük are considered to be valuable sources to understand Early Chalcolithic life ways of this transitional zone in Anatolia.
Transition of human-animal interaction in the Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene of Central Anatolia: Aspects in faunal remains of three prominent Epi-Palaeolithic and Early Neolithic settlements
(2016) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar
The Late Pleistocene - Early Holocene is considered to be the transitional phase of a new formation of human-environment interaction in Anatolia and the Near East that eventually changed the planet Earth. Human first started to domesticate animals in a region between the Levant and Central Anatolia. In contrast of most other areas, the Anatolian Plateau has environmental characteristics that hosted wild ancestors of the earliest domestic species. Evidence shows that those wild ancestors were present in the Late Pleistocene, before 8000 cal. BC, in the plateau itself. Pınarbaşı rock shelter provides the first detailed evidence of Epi-Palaeolithic occupation as well as the nature of Late Glacial and earliest Holocene environment in the Anatolian Plateau during the second half of the 9th millennum cal. BC. Aşıklı Höyük, a mound site, represents the birth of the Aceramic Neolithic in Central Anatolia dated back to ca. 9,000 cal. BC. Sheep herding and cultivation of wheat took place with distinct local characteristics by sedentary village communities of this settlement at least in 8000 cal. BC. Boncuklu Höyük, a tell site, shows the transition from hunter-gatherer-foragers to agriculturalists in Central Anatolia. Mammal species found in Boncuklu Höyük were hunted and they exploited a mosaic of habitats including wetlands, grasslands and woodlands during the half of 9th millennium BC. Therefore, the faunal assamblage of these three sites illustrates the best witness to an understanding of the beginning of sedentism, cultivation and the transition of human-animal-environment interaction through the Late Pleistocene - Early Holocene of Central Anatolian Plateau. My PhD thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of this transition. This communication wants to give a glimpse of how it might have occurred and to establish some of the questions I will consider in the future.
