Paleoecological Investigation Of The Miocene (23.03-5.33 Mya) Rodents (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Anatolia, Hasan Vural, Şakir Önder Özkurt
Paleoecological Investigation Of The Miocene (23.03-5.33 Mya) Rodents (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Anatolia, Hasan Vural, Şakir Önder Özkurt
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Anatolia’s geographical location as a land bridge between Europe, Asia, and Africa, makes it an important passage for mammal migrations, with a rich fossil potential. However, detailed scientific studies on the Neogene paleogeography of Anatolia are scarce. Rodentia is among the major mammal groups generally adapting to different habitat types and rapidly evolving with the changing geography. Investigating this group provides data to increase the accuracy of ecological analyses. We selected Rodentia fossils from the Miocene excavation sites with published papers, and examined specimens of 14 families from 106 localities. Cricetidae, Muridae, Gliridae, and Sciuridae were found to be most …
A New Paradigm For The Future Of Archaeometallurgy In Anatolia: Review Of Thai Archaeology Monograph Series (Tam), Gonca Dardeni̇z
A New Paradigm For The Future Of Archaeometallurgy In Anatolia: Review Of Thai Archaeology Monograph Series (Tam), Gonca Dardeni̇z
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
This article reviews the Ban Chiang, Northeast Thailand, Volumes 2A, 2B, and 2C edited by Joyce C. White and Elizabeth G. Hamilton with the aim of bringing a new perspective to the understanding of archaeometallurgy in Anatolia. Regardless of specific subject focus such as geology, geomorphology, archaeology, or anthropology, any scholar interested in the field of archaeometallurgy will find a comparanda of their research in the Thai archaeology monograph volumes. White and Hamilton suggest a new paradigm favoring diversity and an anthropological technology-driven model for archaeometallurgical research, which I believe presents an excellent case to change and revise the presumptions …
Cricetodontini From The Early Miocene Of Anatolia, Nihal Çinar Durgut, Engin Ünay
Cricetodontini From The Early Miocene Of Anatolia, Nihal Çinar Durgut, Engin Ünay
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Cricetodon and Deperetomys from the early Miocene localities Söke, Dededağ (Aydın), Kınık, Harta (Manisa) Western Anatolia and Yapıntı (İçel) Southern Anatolia are studied. Seven species, four of which are new, are described: Cricetodon trallesensis n. sp., Cricetodon fikreti n. sp., Cricetodon magnesiensis n. sp., Cricetodon yapintiensis n. sp., Cricetodon versteegi, Cricetodon kasapligili and Cricetodon cf. kasapligili, Deperetomys cf. intermedius. In order to establish phylogenetic relations of the Cricetodon species, a cladistic analysis are performed.
Archaeological And Geological Concepts On The Topic Of Ancient Mining, Prentiss De Jesus, Gonca Dardeni̇z
Archaeological And Geological Concepts On The Topic Of Ancient Mining, Prentiss De Jesus, Gonca Dardeni̇z
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Geological and archaeological research on ancient mining and metallurgy are actually targeting the same goals: understanding the nature and value of a mining operation. Geologists are intent on locating and qualifying ores and minerals for future use, whereas archaeologists strive to link ores to relevant historic and prehistoric metal artifacts and activities. This article discusses research into ancient Anatolian metallurgy by underscoring the overlap between geological and archeological practices. The work of archaeologists and geologists can be mutually beneficial through a close collaboration on the collection and analysis of field data. Their accumulated and combined knowledge would accelerate the progress …

Neotectonic-Period Characteristics, Seismicity, Geometry And Segmentation Of The Tuz Gölü Fault Zone, Akın Kürçer, Yaşar Ergun Gökten
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The Tuz Gölü Fault Zone (TGFZ) is one of the most important active intra-continental fault zones in central Anatolia. The TGFZ with nearly 200 km in length and 2-25 km in width is a NW trending, active normal fault zone with minor right-lateral strike-slip component. It extends between the north of Lake Tuz at NW and at Kemerhisar (Ni¤de) SE. This zone is a transition zone that separates the Central Anatolian Neotectonic Region into two-sub neotectonic regions, namely Kayseri-Sivas and Konya-Eskiflehir neotectonic regions. In this study, Neotectonicperiod characteristics, seismicity, geometry and segmentation of TGFZ are investigated. TGFZ is composed of …
