    High level of fluctuating asymmetry in the Byzantine dogs from the Theodosius Harbor, Istanbul, Turkey
    (Turkish Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2021) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Parés-Casanova, Pere M.; Öncü, Ö. Emre; Kar, Hakan; Onar, Vedat
    Asymmetry, the abnormality of an organism or a part of it from its perfect symmetry, is represented by three different categories: fluctuating asymmetry, directional asymmetry, and antisymmetry. Fluctuating asymmetry attributes to random developmental variation of a morphological character, whereas directional asymmetry attributes one of the body sides to be more prominent than the other. Antisymmetry appears whenever one body side of a biological body shows greater morphological appearance than the other. Since more environmental stress often produces greater effect of fluctuating asymmetry, it can be a good indicator of physiological stress in the morphological characteristic of a biological being. Applying, so far, the first geometric morphometric methods on any Byzantine fauna, this study aimed to determine the kind and direction of skull asymmetry occurred in Byzantine dog skulls. Aiming this, asymmetries in 16 adult Byzantine dog skulls unearthed form Yenikapı-Marmaray excavation (ancient Theodosius Harbor) in İstanbul, were compared with 39 adult skulls of modern pet dog breeds. Seventeen landmarks (3 midline and 14 bilateral) were selected on the digital pictures of the ventral aspect of each skull, and used for detailed analysis. The results showed a greater percentage of fluctuating asymmetry in the Byzantine dog skulls, suggesting them not to be the remains of pets or housed dogs but perhaps the labor or stray dogs in the Byzantine capital Constantinople.

    A heart-shaped bone artifact from Körtiktepe
    (2020) Özkaya, Vecihi; Sıddıq, Abu Bakar
    Along with the emergence of sedentary life, the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) settlements brought revolutionary changes in production of material cultures as well as cultic and ritual activities, which are often argued to be associated with new waves of interactions between humans and their natural world. Körtiktepe of southeastern Turkey yielded by far the richest PPN assemblage in the world, standing among the very few earliest cultural and production centers which acted to be the predecessors of the development and spread of the Neolithic in West Asia. In this paper, we report a heart-shaped bone artifact which is one of the rarest finds in the extremely large cultural assemblage of Körtiktepe. The manufacture features indicate that the “heart-like” shape of this unique artifact was the product of intentional human activity. Overall archaeological context indicates its probable use as a bone pendant or amulet for the dead; providing the fact of its association with three early PPNA burials, many other ritual objects, and a large number of grave goods. Although difficult to argue for its association with the sense for “emotion”, “affection” or “love” in the present world, it is still significant that the unique specimen traces the symbolic presence and ritual use of the shape of a “heart” in West Asian prehistoric context back to the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic of around 10000 cal BC.

    Anthrozoological study on the agro-pastoral societies of Kızıltepe, Southeast Anatolia
    (İnsan ve İnsan, 2018) Şanlı, Süleyman; Sıddıq, Abu Bakar
    Since 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.

    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, Aleksander
    In 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.

    Local trend of symbolism at the dawn of the Neolithic: The painted bone plaquettes from PPNA Kortiktepe, Southeast Turkey
    (Elsevier, 2021) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Şahin, Feridun S.; Özkaya, Vecihi
    The PPNA site of Körtiktepe in the Upper Tigris Basin yielded one of the richest Pre-Pottery Neolithic assemblages in Western Asia. The site also stands among a few key Epipalaeolithic–Neolithic transitional centers that played vital roles in the origin and evolution of Neolithic symbolism in Upper Mesopotamia. The site was occupied from the second half of the 11th millennium BCE, and throughout much of the 10th millennium BCE the sedentary hunter-gatherers at Körtiktepe engaged in a socio-symbolic organization with elaborate funerary practice and extensive manufacture of symbolic artifacts, including figurative plaquettes, engraved stone vessels, incised shaft straighteners with elaborate designs, scepters, and large assemblages of beads, mostly unearthed from c2000 intra-site burials. No other PPN site has yielded such an extensive number of burial remains and grave goods. Here, we present a group of painted bone plaquettes displaying morphological features and some imagery so far not seen at any other Pre-Pottery Neolithic site in Western Asia. Assessing the specimens in light of the wider symbolic practices among the first Neolithic societies, we argue that Körtiktepe was an important center of symbolic trend at the dawn of the Neolithic in the Upper Tigris Basin.

    Antropoloji’de Ortaya Çıkan Çok-Disiplinli Güçlü Bir Alt Bilim: Antrozooloji
    (2017) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Habib, Ahsan
    İnsanlar, 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.

    Körtiktepe’den Kalp Biçimli Kemik Bir Buluntu
    (2024) Özkaya, Vecihi; Siddiq, Abu B.
    Yerleşik hayata geçiş beraberinde Çanak Çömleksiz Neolitik Dönem (PPN) yerleşimlerde maddi kültür değerlerin üretiminde olduğu gibi, insan ve doğa arasındaki yeni etkileşim algılamalarıyla ilişkili olduğu iddia edilen yeni kültsel, ritüel ve sembolik faaliyetler konusunda da devrim niteliğinde değişimleri gündeme getirmiştir. Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde yer alan ve dünyanın en zengin PPN maddi kültür değerlerine sahip olan Körtiktepe, bu özelliğiyle Batı Asya Neolitiğinin gelişmesi ve yayılmasının öncüsü sayılan çok az sayıdaki erken kültür ve üretim merkezi arasında yer almaktadır. Bu makalede, Körtiktepe’den ortaya çıkarılan son derece büyük rakamlı buluntu topluluğu arasında tek bir örnek olarak bulunan kalp şeklinde bir kemik objeyi sunulmuştur. Morfolojisi, üretim ayrıntıları, olası kullanımı ve genel arkeolojik değerlendirmeler sonucu elde edilen ilk gözlem, kalp biçimli bu eşsiz eserin bilinçli bir şekilde işlendiği ve muhtemelen ölü ritüelde kemik kolye ya da amulet (muska) olarak kullanılmış olabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Zengin ölü hediyeleri içeren üç PPN mezarla beraber ortaya çıkarıldığı bir arkeolojik bağlamında bulunmuş olmasına rağmen, söz konusu kalp biçimli bulgunun günümüzde temsil ettiği “duygu”, “sevgi” veya “aşk” kavramlarıyla ilişkili olup olmadığını tartışmak son derece zordur. Fakat bu eşsiz buluntunun, Batı Asya tarihöncesinde kalp biçiminin varlığını ve ritüel kullanımını MÖ 10. binyıllara dayanan Erken Çanak Çömleksiz Neolitik Dönem’e kadar taşıması büyük önem arz etmektedir.

    A "shaman" Burial From the Ppna Settlement of Cemka Hoyuk, Upper Tigris Basin, Turkiye
    (Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2024) Kodas, Ergul; Siddiq, Abu B.; Erdem, Cagdas; Ciftci, Yunus
    Knowledge of the burial customs of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) in the Near East is increasing. Particularly, lately a large number of burials and skeletal remains have been unearthed in the Upper Tigris Basin, thanks to a number of new excavation projects in recent years. The newly revealed findings indicate that PPNA burial customs varied considerably in the region from site to site. However, the 10th millennium BCE burial CH 2019/05 at Cemka Hoyuk shows as well that there are also different burial practices with in settlements. CH 2019/05 belongs to a female individual, accompanied by animal skeletal elements, who appears to may have been a shaman or at least had been buried by someone practicing ways associated with what we understand nowadays as animism or shamanism. Hence, the burial may represent one of the earliest known examples of its kind in an Anatolian Neolithic context. @ 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

    Social zooarchaeology of marine remains from Marmaray-Yenikapi excavation: Examining the aquatic resources exploitation in Constantinople
    (2016) Sıddıq, Abu Bakar; Özkan, Ermiş; Onar, Vedat
    Located between Marmara Sea and Black Sea, Constantinople was the centre of international trade during its reign. Byzantines developed one of the strongest navies in that time exploiting these water bodies. Testimonies of both Byzantium and foreign visitors show that marine resources had a great significance in Byzantine life. Fishing constituted one of the most important sources of income in the capital with the blessing of Bosporus Strait and Golden-Horn. Byzantines also developed various fishing methods. They were also well aware about the high nutritional value of fish and other aquatic resources. A large number of evidences related to aquatic activities have been unearthed by Yenikapı and Marmaray excavation. Profound amount of artefacts, more than 30 shipwrecks and faunal remains of various marine species are notable of them. Marine species from this site includes tuna fish (Thunnus thynnus L.), swordfish (Xiphias gladius L.), catfish (Clarias sp.), sharks (Carcharhinidae sp.), sea breams (Sparidae sp.), dolphins (Delphinidae sp.), sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.), gilthead breams (Sparusaurata L.), mackerels (Scomber sp.), bonitos (Sarda sp.), crabs (Crustacea sp.), sea turtles (Cheloniidae sp.) and a great number of shells (Mollusc sp.) etc. Some marine species found in Yenikapı were seldom affordable to common citizens in Constantinople. Drilling, chopping and slaughter marks strongly suggest their use for gastronomic treats by elites. Besides, many of them were also used in decorative accessories, luxury materials and exotic shows. Known as “Langa Bostanlari” in Ottoman period, Yenikapı was the ‘Theodosius harbour’ in Byzantine capital. Being a very significant international trade centre and one of the major ports in Empire, remains of different aquatic activities, especially the marine species from this site examines previous Byzantine testimonies as well as shows new aspects about the marine food consumption and social utilization of aquatic resources in Constantinople.
