[YUKARI HABUR VE YUKARI DICLE HAVZASINDA BULUNAN ERKEN TUNÇ CAĞI “DARK RIMMED ORANGE BOWL WARE “(DROB WARE) SERAMIKLERIN ARKEOMETRIK ANALIZLERİ]

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’ndeki Yukarı Dicle Havzasında ve Kuzey Suriye’dekiYukarı Habur Havzasında yapılan arkeolojik araştırmalarda ele geçen Erken Tunç dönemine ait DarkRimmed Orange Bowl Ware (DROB-ware) mal grubunun, kimyasal ve petrografik analiz yöntemlerinikullanarak üretim yerinin belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla, her iki bölgeden alınan DROB ware örneklerininyanında, söz konusu seramiklerin üretiminde kullanılan muhtemel kil kaynak alanlarını tespit edebilmekiçin, her iki bölgeden çeşitli kil yataklarından örneklerde alınarak kimyasal ve petrografik analizleriyapılmıştır. Arkeometrik analiz sonuçları, DROB ware’in Yukarı Dicle Havzasında, Bismil ve Batman arasında bu lunan kil kaynaklarından üretildiğini, Yukarı Habur Havzasındaki höyüklerde bulunan örneklerin, bubölgeye Yukarı Dicle Havzasından geldiğini göstermektedir.

Archaeometric Analysis of Early Bronze Age DarkRimmed Orange Bowl Ware (DROB ware) from theUpper Khabur (NE-Syria) and the Upper Tigris Valley(SE-Anatolia)

The Early Bronze Age Dark Rimmed Orange Bowl Ware (DROB ware) uncovered at various archaeological sites in the Upper Khabur (NE-Syria) and the Upper Tigris Valley (SE-Anatolia) were examined using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and petrographic thin section methods to determine chemical and mineralogical characteristics of the ware, with a view to determining the production place of the ware. To obtain information on possible area of clay sources used in their production, local clay samples from the distribution area of DROB ware in the Upper Tigris and the Upper Khabur Valley were used as reference material.The results of archaeometric analysis suggests that the DROB ware belongs to the Upper Tigris Early Bronze Age ceramic tradition, produced from the local clays available between the province Bismil and Batman in the Upper Tigris Valley (SE-Anatolia) and traded to the Upper Khabur Valley in NE-Syria.
