Abstract

In this study, the metapodial bones of sheep and goats which were found out at Yenikapı Metro and Marmaray archaeological excavations in İstanbul were used. The variability of characteristic features of mentioned metapodia (CV values) were examined and calculations of shoulder heights were made with using metapodial evaluations. The results which were reached were compared with the data of modern and archaeological sheep and goats which belong to previous studies about this topic. Hereat, it is observed that the shoulder heights of Byzantine sheep are in same data range with Iron Age sheep and are in same size with one of the modern breeds Tuj sheep. It is confirmed that the shoulder heights of the Byzantine goats are higher than Iron Age goats and are in same size with one of the modern breeds Anatolian Black Goats.

Özet

Çalışmada, İstanbul Yenikapı Metro ve Marmaray bölgesi arkeolojik kazılarında ortaya çıkarılan koyun ve keçi metapodium’ları kullanıldı. Söz konusu metapodium’ların ana özelliklerinin değişkenlikleri (CV değerleri) incelendi ve metapodial ölçümler kullanılarak omuz yüksekliği hesaplamaları yapıldı. Elde edilen sonuçların bu konu üzerinde yapılmış çalışmalardaki modern ve arkeolojik koyun-keçi verileri ile karşılaştırılması yapıldı. Bunun sonucunda; Bizans dönemi koyunların omuz yüksekliğinin, Demirçağ koyunları ile aynı veri aralığında, modern ırklardan ise Tuj ırkı koyunlarının ebatında olduğu gözlendi. Bizans dönemi keçilerin omuz yüksekliği, Demirçağ keçilerinden daha yüksek, modern ırklardan ise Anadolu Kıl keçisi ebatlarında olduğu tespit edildi.
