Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the probable Princes's graves and wall remains using geophysical Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) method at two study areas defined by archaeologist before in Alacahoyuk archaeological site, Çorum-Turkey. GPR data were continuously collected in the first site (Area 1) by using the reflection profiling measurement technique with a 100 MHz unshielded antenna on four parallel profiles spaced 1 m apart probable Princes's graves could be buried there. On each profile, measurements were taken for two different positions of the transmitter-receiver antenna due to the directivity properties of the antenna. Probable wall remains could be buried in the second site (Area 2), which has 12 m length and 10 m in width. GPR data were also acquired as in the first study site. On the site, 44 GPR profile measurements have been collected on 22 profiles. After data processing, time slices/amplitude maps were produced from the data collected on 52 profiles according to the different positions of the transmitter-receiver antennas in these sites.It was concluded that the presence and lateral extends of strong reflections on time slices/amplitude maps indicate the locations of some wall remains and probable Princes' graves. In accordance with these results, excavations were recommended where the presence of anomalies was observed on these maps. Archaeological finds corroborated the existence of remains during the following excavations when strong reflections were observed on the maps.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'nin Çorum ilindeki Alacahöyük arkeolojik alanında daha önceden arkeologlar tarafından tanımlanan iki ayrı çalışma sahasında jeofizik yöntem olan yeraltı radarı (GPR) kullanılarak olası prens mezarları ve duvar kalıntılarını belirlemektir. Olası prens mezarlarının gömülü olabileceği düşünülen ilk çalışma (Alan 1) sahasında, GPR verileri; birbirine paralel 1 m aralıklı dört profilde, 100 MHz korumasız antenle yansıma profil ölçüm tekniği kullanılarak sürekli modda toplanmıştır. Antenin yönelimine göre elektromanyetik dalganın farklı yayınım özelliğini kullanmak için, GPR verileri; alıcı-verici antenin iki farklı konumunda ölçülmüştür. Olası duvar kalıntılarının gömülü olduğu tahmin edilen ikinci alan (Alan 2); 12 m uzunluğunda ve 10 m genişliğinde bir alandır. Bu alanda, 22 hatta 44 GPR profil ölçümü alınmıştır. Bu iki çalışma alanında, verici-alıcı antenlerin farklı konumlarına göre, 52 profilde toplanan GPR verilerine uygulanan veri işlem adımlarından sonra zaman düzlemleri/genlik haritaları oluşturulmuştur.Zaman düzlemleri/genlik haritalarındaki kuvvetli yansımaların varlığı ve yanal uzanımları; bazı duvar kalıntılarını ve olası prens mezarlarını işaret ettiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu sonuçlar ışığında, haritalar üzerinde gözlenen anomalilerin olduğu yerlere arkeolojik kazılar önerilmiştir. İzleyen kazılardan ortaya çıkarılan arkeolojik bulgular; haritalarda gözlenen kuvvetli yansımalarla uyumluluk göstermiştir.
