Osteometric Examination of Skeletal Remains of Sheep Uncovered in Excavations Performed in Ancient City of Kibyra#
Abstract
The aim of the study
was to investigate the osteometric investigation of the remains of sheep
skeleton from archaeological excavations in Kibyra Antique City located in
Golhisar district of Burdur. In the study, the remains of the totally
measurable 370 bones revealed in the archaeological excavations of
Bouleuterion-Odeion, Stadion, Agora and Facade of the ancient city of Kibyra
were used. The osteometric measuraments were obtained from these bones.
Moreover, the shoulder height and dimensions were estimated by using obtained
data. According to this, the average of shoulder height of Kibyra sheep was
determined as 59.8 cm. As a result, it was thought that the numerical data
obtained in the study will contribute to the limited number zooarcaeological
researches in our country.

Kibyra Antik Kenti Kazılarında Ortaya Çıkarılan Koyun İskeleti Kalıntılarının Osteometrik Olarak İncelenmesi#
Abstract
Çalışmada Burdur'un Gölhisar ilçesinde bulunan
Kibyra Antik Kentindeki arkeolojik kazılardan ortaya çıkarılan koyun iskeleti
kalıntılarının osteometrik olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Kibyra
Antik Kenti'nin Bouleuterion-Odeion, Stadion, Agora ve Dış Cephe arkeolojik
kazılarında ortaya çıkarılan ölçü alınabilir nitelikte toplam 370 adet kemik
kalıntısı kullanıldı. Bu kemiklerden osteometrik ölçüler alındı. Ayrıca elde
edilen veriler kullanılarak koyunların cidago yüksekliği ve ebatları ile ilgili
tahminde bulunuldu. Buna göre Kibyra koyunlarının ortalama cidago yüksekliği
59.8 cm olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak çalışmada elde edilen sayısal
verilerin Ülkemizde sınırlı sayıdaki zooarkeolojik çalışmalara katkı
sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
