Abstract

Samsat, one of the largest mound in the Lower Euphrates Region, hosted such civilizations/cultures as Hititians, Assyrians, Urartians, Persians, Byzantines, Crusades, Ummayads, Seljukians, Artukians, Ayyubids, Mongolians, Mamelukes. A large group of temren arrowhead was encountered in the medieval layer of Samsat. 12.200 large arrowheads were found as stocked in a Medieval tower along with ceramic artefacts and coins dated to 12th and 13th centuries. Despite a great many publications on coins and ceramic pieces belonging to 175 years of 12th and 13th centuries, arrowheads dug out at the same place and stratum have not been investigated in a research paper yet. The Paper aims to describe the morphological and metallurgical properties the finds and compare them with other samples uncovered at other Medieval sites. So far no medieval arrowhead samples in Anatolia other than the ones found at Kubad-Abad Seljukian Palace in Beyşehir, Konya have been featured by a scholarly paper. In this paper, a part of the temren collection in Samsat will be discussed for the first time in the Middle Age studies both in morphological and metallurgical terms.

Özet

Aşağı Fırat bölgesinin en büyük höyüklerinden biri olan Samsat, Hitit, Asur, Urartu, Pers, Bizans, Haçlı, Emevî, Selçuklu, Artuklu, Eyyubî, Moğol, Memluk gibi farklı kültürlere ev sahipliği yapmış önemli bir merkezdir. Samsat’ın Ortaçağ tabakasında büyük bir temren ok ucu grubuna rastlanmıştır. 12.200 adetlik bu büyük temren koleksiyonu bir Ortaçağ kulesi içinde, depolanmış vaziyette ve 12.-13. yüzyıla tarihlenen seramik ve sikkelerle birlikte bulunmuştur. Burada ele geçmiş olan 12. ve 13. yüzyılın 175 yıllık dilimine tarihlenen sikke ve seramikler bugüne kadar birçok yayınla bilim dünyasına tanıtılmış olmasına karşın aynı tabaka ve yerde bulunmuş temrenler henüz bir çalışmaya konu edilmemiştir. Bildiride, söz konusu temrenlerin biçimsel ve metalürjik niteliklerini tespit edip, diğer Ortaçağ merkezlerinde bulunmuş örneklerle mukayeseli bir değerlendirmeyi yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bugüne kadar Anadolu’dan Ortaçağ zaman dilimine ait Konya-Beyşehir Kubad-Abad Selçuklu Sarayı örnekleri dışında yayınlanmış temren örneği yoktur. Bu bildiride Samsat’taki bu büyük temren koleksiyonunun bir bölümü Ortaçağ çalışmalarında ilk kez hem morfolojik hem de metalürjik açıdan ele alınacaktır.
