Ceyhan Ovası, Türkiye’nin güneyinde Adana sınırları içerisinde yer almaktadır. Bu bölge antik dönemde Kilikya Pedias olarak bilinmektedir. Kilikya Pedias'ta kaybolan ve keşfedilmeyen birçok antik yerleşim bulunmaktadır. Landsat görüntüsünün 3, 4 ve 5 spektral bantlarında, arkeolojik alanların modern yerleşim alanlarına yakın diğer yüzey bitki örtüsünden farklı spektral yansıma değerleri verdiği tespit edilmiştir. Özellikle yakın kızılötesi (NIR) 4. bant görüntüsünde, yer altındaki ve düzlenmiş antik yerleşimler belirlenmiştir. Görüntü analizinde 4, 3, 2 bant kombinasyonları ile Denetimsiz sınıflandırma, Histogram Eşitleme ve Temel Bileşen Analizi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Temel Bileşen Analizi ve doğrusal yöntem ile antik yerleşimlerin modern yerleşim alanlarından ayrılabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Görsel algılamada çözünürlüğü daha yüksek olan 8. bant görüntü zenginleştirme işleminde kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca Spot ve Aster görüntüleri kullanılarak yerleşimlerin dağılımı ve mekânsal özellikleri analiz edilmiştir. Bu makalede bilinen ancak tahrip nedeniyle kaybolan antik yerleşimler dışında 42 bilinmeyen antik yerleşim tespit edilmiştir.

Detection of Archaeological Sites Using Remote Sensing in The Cilicia Pedias

Öz

Ceyhan Plain is located at the southern of Turkey within the borders of Adana. This region as known as Cilicia Pedias in the ancient period. There are many lost and undiscovered ancient sites in Cilicia Pedias. At 3, 4 and 5 spectral bands of Landsat image, it was determined that the archeological sites yield different spectral reflection values from other surface vegetation close to the modern settlement areas. Especially at near-infrared (NIR) 4th band image, underground and evened ancient sites were determined. The unsupervised classification, Histogram Equalization and Principal Component Analysis methods were used with Image analysis 4, 3, 2 band combinations. It was determined that the ancient sites may be distinguished from the modern settlement areas with Principal Component Analysis and linear method. The one of which the resolution is higher in the visual perception was used in 8th band imagery enhancement procedure. Also by using Spot and Aster images, the distribution and spatial features of sites were analyzed. In this paper, 42 units’ unknown ancient sites were determined except for the sites which had been known but got lost due to the destructing.
