Geochemical and Mineralogical Analyses of Basalt Fragments from the Neolithic Settlement of Sumaki Höyük (Batman, Turkey) to Determine the Source Area / Sumaki Höyük (Batman, Türkiye) Neolitik Yerleşiminde Kullanılan Bazalt Parçalarının Jeokimyasal ve Mineralojik Analizlerle Kaynak Alanının Belirlenmesi

Öz

This study aims to determine the provenance of grinding stone tools unearthed from the Neolithic phases of Sumaki Höyük settlement using a portable Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (P-EDXRF) and X-ray Diffraction spectrometer (XRD). Sumaki Höyük is located in the Lower Garzan Basin of Batman province, Turkey. The settlement is dated to 9084±57 - 8123±50 cal BP. Grinding stone tools in this settlement are usually made of basalt. Albeit at low amounts, limestone was also used in the production of grinding stones. The Lower Garzan Basin, located to the east of Diyarbakır Basin, is surrounded by Mount Kıradağı to the west-southwest and Mount Raman to the south, the Garzan Anticlinal and Kentalan Anticlinal to the north-northeast. The basalt flow occurred in the Quaternary period. Samples collected from different parts of the Neolithic phase of Sumaki Höyük and the Kıradağı basalt flows were analysed using P-EDXRF to determine their chemical composition. The same samples were also analysed using XRD to determine their mineral composition. P-EDXRF and XRD analyses reveal that the samples from Sumaki Höyük and Kıradağı are in good accordance with each other. It is therefore understood that the basalt stone tools used in the settlement were taken from the Kıradağı basalts.

Teşekkür

This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. And this study benefited from the oral presentation in the 71st Geological Congress of Turkey entitled “Raw Material Source Identification of Ground Stone Tools from Sumaki Höyük Using Multiple Analytical Methods” by S. Sarıaltun and M. Aydın. The research was conducted with the permission of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Aslı Erim-Özdoğan for permitted me to do the study of Sumaki Höyük. Mr. Graham Lee is thanked for proofreading the English text of the article.
