Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Yukarı Dicle Havzası Çanak Çömleksiz Neolitik Dönem yerleşmelerinde ok ucu olarak kullanıldığı öngörülen ve kullanım alanları bilinmeyen alet tiplerinin taklitleri yapılarak, deneysel atışları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen atışlarla uç tiplerinin delme performansına göre ok ucu olarak kullanılıp kullanılamayacağı gözlenmiştir. Bu yazıda, bölgedeki Çanak Çömleksiz Neolitik Dönem fırlatma uçları üzerine yapılan deneysel çalışmalar ve tarihöncesi insan topluluklarının yay ve okun kullanımına yönelik bilgiler yer almaktadır.

An Experimental Study on Pre-Pottery Projectile Points in Upper Tigris Basin

Abstract

In this study, projectile points of Pre-Pottery Upper Tigris Basin region, which are unknown regarding their use-purposes with functional meanings, were reproduced and shoots were made by the experimental method. After the experimental shooting, replica projectile points were compared as for their pierced damaging. In this article, projectile points of Pre-Pottery Upper Tigris Basin region were identified with experimental method, and contain information about the usage of bow & arrow by prehistoric human species.

Keywords
