Instances of Employment of the Ichnoarchaeological Approach in Classical Archaeology

Öz

In this study, the focus is directed towards terracotta building materials with "traces," which were disregarded as defective and unworthy of consideration until recently. Samples have been examined through the lens of ichnoarchaeology, revealing that every material unearthed has the potential to provide information about the past, support existing theories, or facilitate novel interpretations. A total of fifty-three samples from two ancient cities were analyzed in this study. The findings of this research support the scholars' thesis that the climatic conditions in Anatolia in the 2nd century AD were similar to those of today. Moreover, it was concluded that the environment surrounding the brick workshop in Aizanoi was markedly more severe compared to that of Perge. The examined traces also enabled certain evaluations concerning social life during the Ancient Period.

Ikhnoarkeolojik Yaklaşımın Klasik Arkeolojide Kullanım Örnekleri

Öz

Bu çalışmada, yakın zamana kadar defolu ürün denilerek dikkate alınmayan, çalışılmaya değer görülmeyen bir malzeme grubuna, üzerinde “iz” bulunan pişmiş toprak yapı malzemelerine odaklanılmıştır. Örnekler, ikhnoarkeoloji yaklaşımıyla incelenmiş, toprak altından çıkan her malzemenin bize bilgi verebileceği, mevcut görüşleri destekleyebileceği ya da yepyeni yorumlar yapılmasına olanak tanıyabileceği ortaya konmuştur. İki antik kentten toplam elli üç örnek üzerinden ilerleyen çalışmada, araştırmacıların MS 2. yüzyılda Anadolu’da günümüzdekine benzer iklim şartları yaşandığına dair tezini destekleyecek bulgular elde edilmiş, ayrıca Aizanoi’daki tuğla atölyesini çevreleyen ortamın Perge’dekinden çok daha vahşi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. İncelenen izler, Antik Dö
