Article Abluted capitalism: Ali Shariati's critique of capitalism in his reading of Islamic Economy(Sage, 2015) Şengül, SerdarIslamic sociologist Ali Shariati is a leading figure of the reconstruction of religious thought in the Islamic world known especially for his anti-capitalist stance and leftist reading of Islamic history. In the philosophy of history that he developed, he classified religions as religions of tawheed (unicity of God) and religions of shirk (multiple gods). According to this new reading of history, the main struggle is not between religion and secularism but between religions of tawheed and of sheerk. The issue of the gaining and the distribution of the property is central to his classification. Shariati argued that followers of tawheed and of sheerk can be found in all religions including Islam. To support his argument Shariati explored how capitalistic understanding of Islam has been developed and legalised while anti-capitalist messages and orders of Islam were marginalised and illegalised just after the death of the Prophet Mohammed. He analysed the rivalry between his close companions over the content of a proper Islamic economic order and how this rivalry gave way to two contradicting understanding of Islam, marks of which can be seen today in the contemporary Muslim world. He coined the term abluted capitalism' to define the economic policies of Muslim sovereigns to make Islam compatible with capitalist economic principles.Article Adaptions in subsistence strategy to environment changes across the Younger Dryas-Early Holocene boundary at Kortiktepe, Southeastern Turkey(Sage Journals, 2022) Emra, Stephanie; Benz, Marion; Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Özkaya, VecihiThe site of Körtiktepe in southeastern Turkey is one of few sites in the Upper Mesopotamia basin that attests continuous, permanent occupation across the boundary from end of the colder, drier Younger Dryas (YD) into the comparatively wetter and warmer Early Holocene (EH). This allows for the study of the degree of environmental change experienced on a local level over this boundary as well as for the study of the adaptations that the occupants of the site undertook in response to these changes. The mammal assemblage of Körtiktepe remains relatively stable across the YD – EH transition with the main contributors to diet being mouflon (Ovis orientalis) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) in approximately the same quantities, although the contribution of aurochs (Bos primigenius) increases in the EH. The most significant changes can be seen in the shift in avifauna remains, with a sharp increase of waterbirds during the EH. It is proposed that these shifts reflect changes in the local environment with an increase in woodland cover as well as expansion of local waterways, which is generally consistent with previously published archaeobotanical studies. In terms of species exploited, mortality profiles as well as size distribution of mammals, a great deal of continuity is observed. This suggests that over this particular period the local impact of the beginning of the Early Holocene was not overly dramatic, allowing for cultural continuity of previously established subsistence strategies.Conference Object Adoption and abandon of camel culture in Southeast Anatolia(Selçuk Efes Kent Belleği Yayınları, 2018) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Erdem, Çağdaş; Şanlı, SüleymanCamels are exotic animals in Anatolia. Except the Palaeolithic site of Karain Cave, no pre-Bronze Age archaeological site reveals any camel remains so far in Anatolia. However, domestic camel became common and very significant in the Early Imperial as well as in the Roman and Byzantine Anatolia. Southeast Anatolian region, being the corridor between Anatolia and Mesopotamia, always played key roles since the early stage of the spread of camel culture in rest of Anatolia. Moreover, from the Bronze Age to nineteenth century onwards, camel pastoralism was very lucrative in Southeast Anatolia mainly because of trade, transport and warfare. While camel culture was gradually abandoned in rest of the Anatolia in the beginning of twentieth century, camels still remained as an important socio-cultural part of pastoral groups in Southeast Anatolia until last 30 years. In the light of archaeozoologic, ethnohistoric and ethnozoological data, this review is aimed to illustrate a glimpse of camel culture in Southeast Anatolia throughout different cultural periods in the region.Conference Object Alaybeyi Höyük Sığır–Toplum İlişkisi(2019) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Erdem, ÇağdaşAlaybeyi Höyük kurtarma kazılarından elde edilen zooarkeolojik kalıntılar ışığında, Alaybeyi insanları ile yerleşmede yer alan sığırlar arasında kurulan somut ve soyut bağlantıları inceleyerek Alaybeyi kültürü içinde oluşan sığır-insan etkileşimini anlamaya çalışmaktır. Faunanın ilk zooarkeolojik analizi, 2016-2017 yıllarında Alaybeyi Höyük kurtarma kazı çalışmasından gün ışığına çıkarılmış zooarkeolojik kalıntılardan yapılmıştır. Toplamda 4591 kemik ve kemik parçası kaydedilmiş ve bunların 2569'u cins veya tür düzeyinde tanımlanmıştır. Zooarkeolojik analizi için nicel araştırma yöntemleri uygulanmış, Alaybeyi Höyük’teki sığır-insan ilişkilerinin olası yönlerini anlamak için de nitel bir yaklaşım izlenmiştir. Toplam 976 örnek (NISP %37.95’si) sığır kalıntıları (Bos taurus) olarak belirlenmiştir. Bunlardan Mandibula, tespit edilen toplam sığır kemikleri arasında en yüksek oranı (%12,71) içermektedir. Pelvis ise, %10,56 oranında mandibula kemiklerini takip etmektedir. Ayrıca çok fazla miktarda kafatası kemiği ve uzun kemikler mevcuttur. Humerus, radius, femur ve tibia kemikleri sırasıyla %9.73, %7.79, %4.71 ve %5.43 olarak tanımlanmıştır. Öte yandan, phalanx I, II ve III'ün yanı sıra metapodial kemikleri de önemli miktarda göze çarpmaktadır. Bu istatistiksel verilere ek olarak sığır kalıntıları üzerinde özellikle metal satır kesim izleri ile birlikte aşırı yük taşımanın sonucu meydana gelen patolojik izlere de rastlanmaktadır. Ayrıca sığır kalıntılarının içeresinde çok sayıda parçalı vertebrae ve costae kemiklerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hayvan kalıntıları arasında yüksek orandaki sığır kalıntısı, Alaybeyi toplumlarının geçimlerinin, küçükbaş hayvanlarının aksine sığır pastoralizmine bağlı olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Patolojik izler, muhtemelen tarım, taşıma ve ulaşım faaliyetlerinde sığırların tercih edildiğini anlatmaktadır. Kalıntıların arasında önemli miktarda hemen hemen her çeşit kemiğin yer alması, yerleşme alanı içerisinde ya da çok yakın alanlarda sığırlar üzerine kasaplık işlemlerini göstermektedir. Aynı zamanda izlenen kesim işlemleri, uzmanlaşmış kasaplık uygulamalarının varlığını ortaya koymaktadır. Buna ek olarak çok parçalı kemik kalıntıları, Alaybeyi halkı tarafından kemik iliği tüketimine işaret etmektedir.Book Part Anatolian farmers in Europe: migrations and cultural transformation in Early Neolithic period(Amasya University, 2017) Sıddıq, Abu BakarHumans first started farming and domesticating animals around 9000 B.C. in the Levant and the Central Anatolia. The managing process of different plant and animal species was spreading from the Central Anatolia to Southern and Western Anatolia during 8th millennium BC, and in 7th millennium BC into Southeast Europe by Anatolian farmers. Furthermore, this process appeared in Central Europe in the middle of 6th millennium BC and eventually in north-western Europe in the middle of 4th millennium BC by Anatolian Neolithic farmers. Archaeological evidences as well as ancient DNA studies testify this migrations and cultural exchange of Anatolian farmers which enforced the neolithization in Europe and inevitably changed Europe‟s face forever. This research is aimed to give a chronological glimpse of that migration and the cultural transformation process from the Central Anatolia to Europe between 9th millennium and 4th millennium BC.Article Ancient DNA from Mesopotamia suggests distinct Pre-Pottery and Pottery Neolithic migrations into Anatolia(Science, 2022) Acar, Ayşe; Lazaridis, Iosif; Alpaslan-Roodenberg, Songül; Açıkkol, Ayşen; Agelarakis, Anagnostis; Davtyan, RubenWe present the first ancient DNA data from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic of Mesopotamia (Southeastern Turkey and Northern Iraq), Cyprus, and the Northwestern Zagros, along with the first data from Neolithic Armenia. We show that these and neighboring populations were formed through admixture of pre-Neolithic sources related to Anatolian, Caucasus, and Levantine hunter-gatherers, forming a Neolithic continuum of ancestry mirroring the geography of West Asia. By analyzing Pre-Pottery and Pottery Neolithic populations of Anatolia, we show that the former were derived from admixture between Mesopotamian-related and local Epipaleolithic-related sources, but the latter experienced additional Levantine-related gene flow, thus documenting at least two pulses of migration from the Fertile Crescent heartland to the early farmers of Anatolia.Article Animal exploitation at the Olympos, southwestern Anatolia: Zooarchaeological analysis(ScienceDirect, 2022) Onar, Vedat; Olcay-Uçkan, B. Yelda; Öztaşkin, Muradiye; Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Öncü, Emre; Öztaşkin, Gökçen K.; Chrószcz, AleksanderfThis study presents analysis of animal remains unearthed from 2006 to 2021 excavations at Olympos, an important city of ancient Lycia, southwestern Turkey. Seven faunal assemblages were unearthed from seven distinct areas of the city. Each of them was studied according to their distinct archaeological contexts. The zooarchaeological observation was based on taxonomic identification, species diversity, kill-off patterns, nature of bone modification, including taphonomic and anthropogenic marks, and type of species exploitation at the site. The results demonstrated that the majority of the specimens were consumption residues, comprising mainly of ungulate and carnivore mammals, birds and marine fish and mollusks. Goat remains were the most common in all the assemblages, which is consistent with common animal exploitation patterns in Anatolia. Fish bones mostly represented bonito (Sarda sarda), tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and shark (Carcharhinidae sp.). Among the mollusks, the shells of Triton trumpet, rarely found in the Roman-Byzantine Anatolia, were clearly used as trumpets. As Olympos was an important harbour with a strategic location by the Mediterranean Sea, its faunal remains shed new light on the coastal dietary habbit, animal economy, and cultural contacts in the Roman and Early Byzantine periods in Anatolia.Article Animal Remains From Çakırbeyli-Küçüktepe Höyük Excavations, Western Anatolia(ARMA Archaeologia Meandrica, 2023) Acar, Ayşe; Yaylalı, SerapÇakırbeyli Küçüktepe Höyük is a mound site in western Anatolia, located 1.5 km north of Çakırbeyli village, Koçarlı district of Aydın province, Türkiye. This paper presents the first zooarchaeological report of the animal remains unearthed from the 2014-2016 excavations at Çakırbeyli-Küçüktepe Höyük. The aim was to record, identify and find animal-based subsistence at the site. Faunal assemblages from Early Bronze Age to Byzantine occupations of the site represents a total of 875 specimens were examined. The remains were identified by classifying them according to their genus and species. At first observation, representing 8 animal families, a total of 13 different species of mammals, reptiles and birds were identified. It appeared that Çakırbeyli- Küçüktepe people were both hunters and herders for their common subsistence. Although there were red deer, horses and cattle, sheep and goats (Ovicaprid) were found to be the most consumed species, comprising 89.60% of total identified specimens. Based on a few equid specimens, it appeared that horses were used at the site for transportation. The distribution of skeletal parts suggests on-site butchering practice. Heavy burn marks, especially around the edge, on a large number of bones suggest open fire or direct heat food processing. Overall, the identified species illustrate a mosaic of ecology and habitat exploitation as well as multiple aspects of humananimal relationships at Çakırbeyli-Küçüktepe Höyük.Article Animal remains of Alaybeyi Höyük(Turkish Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2019) Sıddıq, Abu BakarThis paper presents the zooarchaeological observations on animal remains of Alaybeyi Höyük unearthed from 2016 and 2017 excavation sessions. Dated to 4721–4553 cal. BC, Alaybeyi stands so far as the oldest archaeological settlement discovered in northeast Anatolia. Therefore, the faunal assemblage at Alaybeyi offers great opportunity to study the status of animals and their relationships with humans in the largely unexplored Kars-Erzurum plateau covering a period from the Chalcolithic to Late Iron Age. Taxonomic and osteometric analyses show that, like the present day, cattle were dominant over caprines, revealing extensive cattle pastoralism in the region for at least about 7 millennia. While caprines too were significant in the subsistence strategy of local humans, there was not any sign of raising pigs. Significant numbers of wild species including carnivores, aquatic mammals, and rodents, as well as resident and migratory birds, were also hunted by Alaybeyi people. Additionally, horse burials, horse cult, dog burials, and a rich number of dog bones present animals as versatile actors in various ritual and symbolic practices at the site.Article Animals and pastoral groups in the mountainous Ömerli district of Southeast Anatolia(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Şanlı, SüleymanSoutheast Anatolia has been an ideal place for pastoralism since the Neolithic period. However, there is a lack of information on human–animal relationships from both archaeological settlements and contemporary societies in the region. Through ethnographic fieldwork and exploratory case studies in the mountainous Ömerli district, we explored the dependency and complex relationships between pastoral groups and various animal species in Southeast Anatolia. The case studies revealed affectionate and emotional bonds between shepherds and some individuals of domestic herds, similar to pet–human relationships in urban societies. Shepherds gave human names to certain animals; sometimes these were the names of their close friends or the names of their own children. Grief and prolonged grief was also common among Ömerli shepherds following the loss, death, or sale of these emotionally bonded animals. It was further observed that a single species (domestic or wild) often had complex and multi-purpose relationships with shepherd groups. While tortoises and hares, for instance, were used as sources of meat, the bone, blood, intestine, skin, and shell of these species were often used in traditional medicine. Although pastoral groups are completely dependent on domestic herds for their basic subsistence, Ömerli shepherds were observed to be regular hunters. It appears that the economic benefits were not the only promoters for pastoral subsistence in the study area; compassion and emotional affection for particular animals also reinforced enthusiasm for the practice. Therefore, it can be argued that the data obtained from pastoral villages in the mountainous Ömerli district help us understand interactions and relationships between humans and nonhuman animals in pastoral societies of Southeast Anatolia.Article Anlam ve Değer Bağlamında Halk İnançları ve Ziyaret Mekânlarının İşlevselliği(Artuklu Akademi, 2018) Yeşilmen, HalitIn this article, the phenomenon of value is with the emphasis of " touching to meaning" in the foreground. At the same time, it is emphasized in the article that functionality should be evaluated through the meaning. In this context, the main subject of this study is folk beliefs and visiting (sacred) areas. The aim is to point out the importance of folk beliefs and visiting areas in building value among different ethnic groups through the phenomenon of meaning. Folk beliefs were able to be a center of attraction in times for people in different ethnic and religious groups. The process has provided encounter and acquaintance between different groups. Acquaintance also mediated the creation of a common value horizon. But nowadays, values have changed. In this article, this change has questioned on the phenomenon of meaning.Article Anthrozoological study on the agro-pastoral societies of Kızıltepe, Southeast Anatolia(İnsan ve İnsan, 2018) Şanlı, Süleyman; Sıddıq, Abu BakarSince the origin, humans have been depended and formed mixtures of complex relationships with nonhuman animals. These mutualistic relationships eventually intensified following the animal domestication. Southeast Anatolia is one of the important regions where the first domestication of sheep, goat, cattle, and pig occurred as well as domestic herds have been fundamental in every socio-cultural aspect in the region until today. Therefore, Southeast Anatolia has been an ideal place for pastoral and anthrozoological study. Through fieldworks and exploratory case studies in agro-pastoral societies in Kızıltepe, we found certain sheep, goats, and cattle are capable of distinguishing and recognizing human and other cross-species individuals as like they do in their own species. Alongside of providing protein, wealth and social status, herd animals in Kızıltepe also possess deep affection and emotional bonds with human individuals as like as pets in urban societies. On the other hand, we do not observe any gender or sibling effect in children-animal bond which was focused in some contemporary studies. Our overall observations and findings also demonstrate some intangible culture cores in Southeast Anatolia which is promoted mainly by the complex relationships between human and their domestic herds.Article Antropoloji’de Ortaya Çıkan Çok-Disiplinli Güçlü Bir Alt Bilim: Antrozooloji(2017) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Habib, Ahsanİnsanlar, dünya gezegenindeki yolculuğunun başlangıcından beri uzun bir süredir insan dışı hayvanlarla bağ kurmaktadır. Çok boyutlu ilişkiler oluşturarak hem insanlar hem de insan dışı türler birlikte var olmakta ve dünyayı paylaşmaktadırlar. İnsan dışı hayvanlar insanlar tarafından avlanır, manipüle edilir, evcilleştirilir, tüketilir ve bazen kendi türün yok olunmasına rağmen insan toplumlarında saygı görür, ibadet edilir, sembolize edilir, korunur ve kutlanılmaktadır. İnsanlık için bir nesne olarak gördükleri ile uzun zamandır farklı akademik disiplinler, insan dışı hayvanları kullanıcı bir yaklaşım olarak görmekteydi. Bu nedenle, insanlar ve insan dışı hayvanlar arasındaki maddi olmayan duygusal (sevgi ve güven) ve ilişkisel bağların yönleri genel olarak bilinmemektedir. Fakat antropoloji biliminin bir alt dalı olarak ortaya çıkan antrozooloji'nin çeşitli yaklaşımlarıyla, çağdaş akademik söylemlerde insan ve insan dışı hayvanlar arasındaki ilişkileri üzerinde hızlı bir şekilde artan ilgiler görülmektedir. Bu inceleme kökenini, gelişimini, çalışma alanlarını, karmaşıklıklarını ve gelecekteki perspektiflerini göstererek Türkiye ile birlikte diğer Asya ve Afrika ülkelerindeki antrozoolojik çalışmaların önemini sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.Conference Object Assessment of Sex and Stature of Unknown Skeletal Remains: Cerrahpaşa Anatomy Collection(2013) Ayşe ACAR; Mehmet Yaşar İŞCANObjective: Human skeletal parts are used in medical schools for anatomy education. Bones show the characteristics there are informative for deceased people. Anthropologist also used in the similar bones to assess by using metric and morphologic techniques to determine identification.The purpose of this investigation is to determine demographic characteristics such as sex and stature of people commingled in laboratories. The technique is less affective on samples with few remains. Material and Methods: The analysis is based on 319 unknown bones macerated from cadavera used in I.U. Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty anayomy labratories. Measurements were taken in mm with an osteometric board, digital and sliding calipers and steel tape. Results: Sex determination is based on humeral and femoral head diameters. Stature was calculated from Trotter’s regression formulae. Results indicated that there were 21 males (stature=166 cm) and 34 females (stature=154 cm) from the humeral head diameter. Results from the femur were 27 males (stature=165 cm) and 34 females (stature=156 cm) from the femoral head diameter. Conclusion: As a result, unknown sex and collection with a good preservation can asist forensic scientist to develop techniques to identify remains found in mass disasters (plane crash, earthquake and similar disasters). Therefore, these remains can be used in forensic anthropological research even though their number is limited and they lack information about the sample. It assists to understand biological nature of a skeletal population.Conference Object Bangladesh: A Potential Prehistoric Corridor between South and Southeast Asia(CenRaPS Journal of Social Sciences, 2020) Sıddıq, Abu BakarBengal Delta has been a favorable land for dense vegetation and diverse fauna, which were vital for the survival of prehistoric human groups. Although there is a lack of large-scale archaeological exploration, records of stone tools from a series of locations including Sitakunda hill of Chittagong, Chhagalnaiya of Feni, Lalmai-Mainamati region of Comilla, Wari-Bateshwar area of Narsingdi, and Chaklapunji of Habiganj indicate the movements of prehistoric people along the elevated topographic lands of Bangladesh. There are also records of a large number of prehistoric locations in Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya, Assam, Bihar and West Bengal of India, some of them are very close to and often share equal palaeo-geographical settings with Bangladesh. Particularly over forty prehistoric locations in the neighboring Garo Hills and Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, and over two hundred Palaeolithic locations in Bardhaman, Birbhum, Bankura, Purulia and Midnapur districts of West Bengal signify the busy movements of archaic human groups across Bengal Delta. Besides, the prehistoric tools of east and southeastern Bangladesh demonstrate strong techno-typological resemblances with prehistoric assemblages of the Irrawaddy valley of Myanmar. Presenting some vital palaeo-environmental and archaeological records, this study primarily aims to present the hypothesis that, during the sea level fluctuations in the Pleistocene, the deltaic arcs of Bengal Basin were parts of a possible route for archaic human groups’ dispersal across South and Southeast Asia. It also highlights the importance of large-scale systematic explorations and recording of prehistoric locations in Bangladesh, particularly to understand its potentials in world prehistory.Article BİGALI ROMANLAR ÖRNEĞİNDE “ÇİNGENELİK”İ ANLAMAK: MİMESİS ÜZERİNE NOTLAR(Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2018) Dişli, Semra ÖzlemBu çalışma Çingene/Roman temsillerinin Bigalı Romanlar üzerindeki etkilerine ve Bigalı Romanların kendilerine ilişkin bu temsilleri nasıl anlamlandırdıklarını, bunları nasıl kullandıklarını tartışmaya odaklıdır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada sorun edilen temel kavram “çingenelik”tir. Bigalı Romanlar, kendilerince yaşam biçimlerini tanımlamak için çingeneliği kullanırlar. Çalışma boyunca çingenelik, Bigalı Romanların kendilerine ilişkin temsilleri taklit etmeleri olarak ele alınacaktır. Öykü veya kopya etmeden farkı ortaya konarak taklit etme, yaratıcı bir uygulamaya işaret eden mimesis kavramı ile tartışılacaktır. Bigalı Romanlar, daha birçok pratik ve söylemi çingenelik başlığı altında ifade etseler de bu çalışma kapsamında çingenelik iki öğe aracılığıyla ele alınacaktır. Bunlardan biri “her şeye rağmen neşeli olma” ile birlikte mizah iken diğeri Bigalı Romanların kendi aralarındaki gizli iletişim biçimidir. Bu iki öğeden hareketle çalışmanın açığa çıkarmayı hedeflediği temel mesele, Bigalı Romanların benimsedikleri mimesis aracılığıyla kendilerine ilişkin temsilleri nasıl kullandıkları ve bu yolla ne tür kazançlar sağladıklarıdır. 2012-2016 yılları arasında Bigalı Romanlar ile yürütülen alan araştırması deneyimine dayanan bu çalışmada etnografik yöntem benimsenmiştir.Conference Object BİR TAKTİK OLARAK “ÇİNGENELİK”(VIII. Ulusal Sosyoloji Kongresi Bildiriler Kitabı, 2017) Dişli, Semra ÖzlemŞubat 2015 – Eylül 2015 tarihleri arasında Çanakkale’nin Biga ilçesinde yaşayan Romanlar ile yürütülen alan araştrması deneyimine dayanan bu çalışma temel olarak, Bigalı Romanların güç ile kurdukları ilişkinin doğasına odaklanır. Çalışma, bu ilişkinin Certeau’nun ortaya koyduğu biçimi ile “olanla idare etme”ye dayalı olduğu argümanından hareket eder. Güç ağının dayattığı kuralları ve ürünleri kullanım biçimlerinde kendini gösteren olanla idare etme; baş etmeye, çıkar sağlamaya dayalı saptırıcı, kurnaz taktik türünden hamlelerin ifadesidir. Kendi siyasal-kültürel söylemlerini üretme gücünden yoksun olan Romanlar, birbirinin içinden geçen popüler ve akademik-resmi söylemlerce üretilen dışarıdan temsillere tabi kılınmışlardır. Yüklü olduğu dışlayıcı anlamlardan kaçınmak için Çingeneyi bir adlandırma olarak reddetseler de Bigalı Romanlar, kendilerince yaşam biçimlerini tanımlamak için “çingenelik”i kullanırlar. Kendilerine ilişkin temsillerin tüketimine/yeniden üretimine dayanan çingenelik, Bigalı Romanların biriktiremedikleri kazançlar sağlama adına kullandıkları taktiklerin de ifadesidir. Bu çalışmanın sınırlarının izin verdiği ölçüde, çingeneliğin görünümlerinden yalnızca biri olan ve “vurgunculuk” diye tanımlanan enformel ekonominin, kendilerine ilişkin temsillerin kendilerince kullanım biçimleri ile Bigalı Romanlar tarafından nasıl bir özerklik deneyimine dönüştürüldüğü tartışılacaktır.Article Birlikte Yaşama Tecrübesine ve Ortak Yaşam Alanına İşaret Eden Kavramsal Bir Çalışma: Ebrulî Kültür (Mardin Örneği)(2019) Yeşilmen, HalitThe concept of multiculturalism is, often used to express ethnic and religious diversity in a society. This concept is insufficient to describe internal dynamics. For this reason, we have focused on a new concept in the example of Mardin: Ebrulî Culture. In the conceptualization process, we took “value" approach as basis. In the study, we aimed to explain the concept of Ebrulî Culture and point out the dynamics of interaction of different ethnic and religious groups for centuries. For this purpose, we questioned some concepts such as mosaic, rainbow and hybrid. We concluded that these concepts are insufficient to describe the sociocultural dynamics in Turkey. In addition, we emphasized that the interaction among different ethnic and religious groups is constructedbased on "value" in Turkey. However, this type of interactions change nowadays, even though it has a long history. Moreover, we reached the result that the socio-cultural improvements need to be addressed with the basis of "value" approaches.Article A cat skeleton from the balatlar church excavation, sinop, Turkey(MDPI AG, 2021) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Onar, Vedat; Köroğlu, Gülgün; Armutak, Altan; Öncü, Öğül Emre; Chrószcz, AleksanderIn the 2015 excavation season, an east–west oriented burial (2015-Grave-14) built with large dimension stone blocks was unearthed on the south edge of “Area IVi” at the Balatlar Church in Sinop, on the northeastern Black Sea coast of Turkey. In this grave, which is dated between the end of the 6th century AD and the first half of the 7th century AD, a human skeleton was found with the head to the west and a cat skeleton was carefully placed next to the right femur. This study on the burial and the cat skeleton within it shows that, compared to the Roman period, the status of cats reached a higher level during the Byzantine period. It was found that alongside of being a pet, the Balatlar cat was a young healthy female individual that instinctively hunted rodents and birds, given that the remains of a rat and a sparrow were found in the region of the abdominal cavity, corresponding with the stomach location in the living animal. The grave presents the most significant direct archaeological evidence of a pet–human bond recorded at any Byzantine site so far.Article "Çingene" mi, "Roman" mı? Bir İnşa Süreci(Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Antropoloji Dergisi, 2016) Dişli, Semra ÖzlemBu makalede popüler ve akademik yazında ve söylemde Çingene ya da Roman olarak adlandırılan grupların yine bu alanlarda nasıl tahayyül edildiği ve betimlendiği konu edilmektedir. Yazı boyunca temsil kavramından hareketle hem popüler hem akademik yazında ve söylemde Çingenelere ya da Romanlara dair temsillerin inşa süreci ayrı ayrı ele alınacaktır. Böylelikle her ne kadar aynı kişilere işaret ediyor olsa da Çingene ve Roman adlandırmalarının birbirinden farklılaşan kullanım biçimlerinin ortaya konması amaçlanmaktadır.
