Archaeometric studies at Yivli Minare in Antalya

The 13th century Seljuk construction Yivli Minare, or the Fluted Minaret, located in the city identity of Antalya, stands independently to the east of a mosque of the same name. For the conservation of the Yivli Minare, the Yivli Minare Releve, Restitution and Restoration Project was initiated. The monument was analysed for archaeometrical purposes as well.Within these studies the structural materials (stone, brick, mortar and plaster) and decorative materials (tiles and their glaze) were examined for their basic physical properties and chemical characteristics, as well as their mineralogical/petrographic structures. Colors, electrical conductivity, amount of water soluble salt, salt types and raw material contents were also examined.The building stones used for the construction of the minaret were travertine that was formed with cold and hot water sedimentation reflecting local formation. In addition, types of rocks (AYM-T1) used for repairs were also identified (as marble).Mortar and plaster matrices comprising aggregates and binders were examined separately. The binders found in the samples were either lime or lime with gypsum or cement. Evidence seems to indicate that in mortars with original properties, the binder contained lime and gypsum together, while in the repair mortars and plasters, binders also contained cement. Some of the mortar samples, namely AYM-H9 and AYM-H10, contained about 1% tow of such as plants, hays etc. in the aggregate. Brick crumbs were found about 3% to 80% in most of the samples.Two tile samples (AYM-C1 and AYM-C2) were examined for their thin section analysis and it was seen that their fabrics were different. Tile sample AYM-C1, similar to AYM-B7, was fired at 900-950°C and contained 1.5% porosity, while tile sample AYM-C2 was fired at a lower temperature (900°C) as suggested from its highly porous (15%) structure. The glaze öf the tile samples has a thickness varying from 300 to 700 pm. The matrix of AYM-C1 has a broken, angular texture, with grains of 0.1 - 500 pm. It is composed of aggregates and minerals with substantial heterogeneous distribution. The matrix of AYM-C2 has coarser grains but fewer aggregates. The basic elementary contents of the glaze samples are similar to each other.In the petrographical thin section analysis, unsuitable mortar and plaster repairs containing cement as binder were identified.The two tile samples examined were found to be similar in character to other build' tiles of the same period. It showed that a certain tile production technology in build' T Seljuk monuments might be employed all over Anatolia.Micro-climatic examination revealed a problem with dampness in the ground beneath the minaret.The Yivli Minare is an indispensable part of Antalya's identity. The archaeometricil data from the study are necessary for appropriate repair work enabling the Yivli Minare u > be passed to next generations. According to data resulting from this study, materials to he used - if necessary - must be compatible with original construction materials.
