Abstract

Değirmentepe is a Chalcolithic village situated on the banks of the Euphrates within the province of Malatya (Eastern Anatolia). It has been dated by C-14 (calibrated) to the end of the seventh millenium B.P. and the beginning of the sixth millenium B.P. 31 well preserved skeletons belonging to infants and children (of which six were fetuses) were unearthed during the salvage excavations of 1978-86. It was found that three of them displayed traces of cauterization. The injury to the scalp tissues was visible on the tuber frontale of three individuals. The aim of this paper is to find the present manifestation of this thermal injury with reference to the ethnographic records in Anatolia and determine its purposes.

Özet

Değirmentepe köy yerleşmesi Doğu Anadolu'da, Malatya'nın 24 km kuzey-doğusunda ve Fırat nehrinin 50 m uzağında yer almaktadır. Höyük, Fırat taşkınlarının oluşturduğu konglomeratik bir doğal yükseltinin üstünde, zamanla gelişmiştir. Değirmentepe, doğu-batı yönünde 200 m, kuzey-güney yönünde ise 125 m kadar bir alanı kaplar. Orta-Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Aşağı Fırat Projesi Kurtarma Kazıları çerçevesinde yürütülen çalışmalara Değirmentepe'de 1978 yılında başlanmış ve 1986 yılında Höyüğün Karakaya baraj gölü suları altında kalması nedeniyle son verilmiştir. Değirmentepe'deki arkeolojik kazılar İstanbul Üniversitesi Prehistorya bölümünden Prof. Ufuk Esin başkanlığında bir ekip tarafından yürütülmüştür.
