It was preferred as an economical building material that could easily be found in the immediate surroundings. Especially in the inner parts of the country, mudbrick was used in the construction of many historical buildings. In this context, it can be said that adobe was a preferred building material for a period of time in Ankara. If the development of Ankara is examined in the historical process, it is understood that Ankara is a city which covers the urban spaces and structures belonging to the previous periods. In and around the citadel, which is the center of the city throughout history, the structures of the Roman Period, as well as Seljuk, Ottoman, and Republican Periods can be seen together. After the city became a Turkish land, many buildings with commercial, social and religious functions were built. Some of these struc...

Since the sulfur element in sulfate salts is represented as sulfate, the sulfur contour maps (SCM), obtained by transferring the portable X-ray fluorescence measurements onto the orthophotographs, also show the sulfated crust formation, distribution and anomaly regions on the portal surfaces. Additionally, the anomaly regions originating from the difference in thermal conduction between the sulfated crusts and portal surfaces on thermal camera images were determined, and they were observed to be compatible with the anomaly regions on SCM. However, the size of this correlation depends on the chemistry of the building stone and the thickness of the sulfated crusts. Then, it was determined that the anomaly regions on SCM were distributed in relation to the washing out of sulfated crusts by rainfall and capillary moisture content. Accordingly, portal surfaces were divided into three as the sheltered, washing and capillary regions. Consequently, it was demonstrated that the sulfation effect due to air pollution on historical building surfaces which have appropriate rock chemistry can be determined by non-destructive testing methods like using the SCM supported by infrared thermography. The fact that the method is simple and repeatable and is easily applicable to other buildings was considered as the most important success of the method.

The transfer of the object to a new display case allowed for an examination with a portable x-ray fluorescence (P-XRF) device in order to reveal the chemical composition of the statuette and its attached ornaments. The figurine was confirmed to be made of silver. However, it is alloyed with a small but still substantial amount of copper. The applications are basically made of gold, but with a suspected substantial (up to 23%) amount of silver involved. The final section of the article is dedicated to a critical comparison with recently published figurines from Alaca Höyük, together with an archaeological and chronological reappraisal of this unique piece of art.

The treasure which is totally 432 objects not only come from USA but also consists of the object come from rescue excavation of Turkish museums and objects of other Turkish museum that dated to Kroisos age. Metal objects of the collection were analyzed with portable X Ray Florescence Spectrometer. Through taken analyzes results in consideration cleaning and restoration of objects were done by the Laboratory team of The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. All analysis results were recorded to its inventory notebook. Moreover analyses result treated to statistical evaluations.

Malgré l'absence de contexte, cette pièce mérite un examen plus approfondi. Elle appartient au type rarissime des épées plates à poignée massive dont le seul contexte sûr est un dépôt d'Arslantepe (Malatya, Turquie orientale) daté de la transition 4 e / 3 e millénaire av. J.-C. Les dommages constatés sur la lame font penser que cette arme de taille fut bien utilisée dans des combats, contrairement à l'opinion admise, tout en servant de symbole de pouvoir et de prestige au début l'ère du métal. Les résultats d'une analyse de la fluorescence X, qui n'a laissé aucune trace sur l'objet, plaident pour une origine de l'épée située dans la même contrée-et le même horizon-que celle des épées d'Arslantepe, c'est-à-dire la région actuelle de Malatya (Turquie orientale). This article presents a previously unpublished sword from the Necdet Dilek collection of the Tokat Museum, Turkey, which has never been properly acknowledged as the outstanding item that it actually is. The sword is a very rare type of double-edged metal baton, and is known so far exclusively from the site of Arslantepe, Malatya, Eastern Turkey, from a cache of items including typologically identical blades, dated to the latest 4th/earliest 3rd millennium BCE. It is argued that the new sword was indeed used in combat (a function that was previously denied), but also was a distinctive item to display power and prestige. The results of the non-destructive archaeometrical analysis, carried out with a portable XRF device, support our suspicion that the new ‚Arslantepe-type' sword originates from the same region and cultural horizon as the Arslantepe swords, that is, modern Malatya (Eastern Turkey).

Das Schwert gehört zu einem äußerst seltenen Typus flacher Vollgriffschwerter, die aus gesichertem Zusammenhang bislang nur als Bestandteil eines in dem Übergang vom 4. in das 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr. datierten Verwahrfundes von Arslantepe, Malatya, Osttürkei bekannt sind. Beschädigungen an der Klinge unseres Schwertes deuten darauf hin, dass diese Hiebwaffe entgegen bisheriger Überzeugung tatsächlich im Kampf verwendet wurde, andererseits jedoch ebenso als frühmetallzeitliches Macht-und Prestigesymbol gedient hat. Die Ergebnisse einer zerstörungsfreien Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse sprechen für eine Verortung des Schwertes in der heutigen Region Malatya (Osttürkei).
