Integration Of The Roman Remains In Ulus Ankara Within The Current Urban Context

Mutlu, Ozge 01 February 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Urban archaeological sites are important traces of history in the cities and should be conserved for the next generations with their values. For their survival in the urban context it is essential to integrate them to the current urban context they exist in. In this study, four urban archaeological sites in Ulus, Ankara are analyzed for understanding their states of integration by constructing an analysis method. In this process the conceptual frame and methodology offered by the APPEAR Project were regarded as basic tools. Within this scope, firstly a general overview is put forward about the APPEAR Method, Ankara and Roman Remains in Ulus with also discussing the current legal framework in Turkey. Afterwards the analysis is done on the archaeological sites / Roman Baths Open Air Museum, Cardo Maximus, Augustus and Roma Temple and Roman Theatre. Finally the fundamental principles and options are put forward for these Roman remains&rsquo / integration in the current urban context. The analysis conducted on the four urban archaeological sites reveal that the Roman remains in Ulus are not integrated with their current urban context This situation is threatening their survival while causing problems both for the v remains themselves and the city. The study while defining basic principles for the sites&rsquo / integration it also puts forward three fundamental concepts that should guide the enhancement projects. These are: Accessibility, Visibility and Intelligibility which are regarded as the tools for strengthening the contextual unity of the sites and their integration in the urban context.

The Past is Present : Archaeological sites and identity formation in Southern Africa

Molin, John January 2005 (has links)
This thesis deals with the connection between archaeological sites and processes of identity formation in Southern Africa, as expressed in relation to the Twyfelfontein rock art site and Great Zimbabwe, and, to some extent, the White Lady site. The aim is to understand in what ways people think of, and identify with, archaeological monuments. The Twyfelfontein rock art site is presented in the form of a case study, based on my own fieldwork of 2004, while the descriptions of the other sites derive from literary sources. The theoretical discussion on identity, and ethnic identity in particular, is central to this thesis. In analysing the conditions of the different archaeological sites, a discursive approach is taken in order to highlight the way perceptions of the past, and people’s identities, are dependant upon social and political processes.

Preserving Arctic Archaeology in the 21st Century: Threats of Climate Change

Goetz, Pauline January 2010 (has links)
Archaeological sites around the world are facing many challenges. These challenges include urban expansion, resource exploitation, tourism, governmental infrastructure programs such as road development and one of the most recently recognized challenges is climate change. The archaeological record of the Arctic tundra is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in the climate, with its fragile ecosystems and ground underlain by permafrost. The impact of increasing global temperatures is a major public issue of the 21st Century, and the ramifications on archaeological sites are significant. The impacts felt over the next century are predicted to range from a sea level rise of almost a metre to a 6.4°C rise in temperature (IPCC, 2007:13). Arctic archaeological sites often invoke a feeling of being in stasis, simply waiting for the next researcher to come along and discover them anew. In fact, the continued existence of these sites is taken for granted, and many are in fact under siege from environmental factors. While the Arctic may face some of the greatest environmental challenges to its archaeological record, it also has some of the greatest potential of in situ preservation in the world. The slow growth of infrastructure in many parts of the Arctic along with a very low population density has meant that threats from development are not as significant or pressing as in other locales both in Canada and throughout the world. This means that the potential to preserve the archaeological record for future generations and future technologies is substantial if the surrounding environment can be stabilized. This paper summarizes the effects of a warming climate upon archaeological sites and uses the Arctic as a focal point, as it is the northern regions that are currently recognized as the most environmentally vulnerable. The Sannirut site on Bylot Island, Nunavut presents an excellent case study on the importance of preservation policies as well as the practicalities on how it can be done with current technologies.

Ορυκτοπετρογραφική μελέτη των λίθινων μνημείων του αρχαιολογικού χώρου της Ελευσίνας : ταυτοποίηση λιθοτύπων και διερεύνηση των αιτιών διάβρωσής τους

Ρούσσου, Ιωάννα 11 July 2013 (has links)
Σκοπός αυτής της μελέτης είναι η περιγραφή και αναγνώριση των λίθων του αρχαιολογικού χώρου της Ελευσίνας, τόσο μακροσκοπικά όσο και μικροσκοπικά. Η περιγραφή και αναγνώριση των λίθων έγινε με τη βοήθεια κυρίως πολωτικού μικροσκοπιόυ αλλά και ηλεκτρονικού μικροσκοπίου για την αναγνώριση ορυκτών που δεν είναι ορατά με το πολωτικό μικροσκόπιο. Στη συνέχεια γίνεται περιγραφή των φθορών που οι λίθοι έχουν υποστεί είτε λόγω φυσικών διεργασιών όπως διάβρωση- αποσάθρωση, είτε λόγω ανθρωπογενών παρεμβάσεων πάνω σε αυτούς. Η αναγνώριση και ονοματολογία των φθορών έγινε μακροσκοπικά, ενώ χρησιμοποιήθηκε επίσης και περιθλασιμετρία ακτίνων-Χ. Τέλος, παρατίθενται τρόποι που θα βοηθήσουν στην αντιμετώπιση των φθορών. / The aim of the study is to identify and describe, macroscopically and microscopically (optical and electronic microscopy), five main lithotypes of Eleusina’s archaeological place. Furthermore, it have been observed macroscopically the weathering forms on the stones of the monument and the alternation that take place on the surface of the stones due to industrial pollutants. X- ray diffraction have been also used. Finally, conservation methods are proposed for the treatment of the monuments.

As amostras foram cedidas pelo Prof. Dr. Astolfo Gomes de Mello Araujo do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da USP (MAE-USP). Este sítio é um abrigo paleoíndio rochoso localizado próximo ao carste de Lagoa Santa, com características que poderiam ser usadas para testar o modelo de abandono do carste durante o Holoceno Médio relacionado ao aumento da seca. Os resultados das concentrações elementares, interpretados por métodos estatísticos multivariados, mostraram a formação de três grupos composicionais distintos e bem definidos. Foi realizado, também, o estudo de seleção de variáveis por meio da análise de Procrustes. Com o propósito de estudar a composição mineralógica, foram selecionadas 8 amostras, as quais foram analisadas por difração de raios X. Os resultados indicaram que há distinção na estrutura cristalina entre as amostras dos três grupos composicionais, sendo quartzo, calcita, dolomita e mica as principais fases cristalinas. / Dissertação (Mestrado) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

O presente estudo procurou contribuir para o esclarecimento acerca de tais aspectos, com a aplicação de três métodos físicos de análise: análise por ativação com nêutrons (AAN), datação por termoluminescência (TL) e ressonância paramagnética eletrônica (RPE) aos fragmentos cerâmicos do sítio arqueológico Hatahara, localizado na Amazônia central. As concentrações elementares obtidas por AAN de 120 fragmentos cerâmicos foram interpretadas por meio da análise de agrupamentos e a análise discriminante. Os resultados mostraram a existência de cinco grupos distintos de cerâmicas. Esta informação, associada à interpretação arqueológica, pôde confirmar a existência de quatro fases distintas de ocupação para o sítio Hatahara. Com o objetivo de estabelecer uma cronologia para as ocupações, foram determinadas as idades de três fragmentos cerâmicos, por meio da datação por termoluminescência (TL). A datação de dois fragmentos mostrou resultados que não confirmam interpretações arqueológicas quanto às suas Fases de ocupação. No entanto, a datação do terceiro fragmento permitiu confirmar que o mesmo pertence à Fase Manacapuru. A determinação da temperatura de queima de quatro fragmentos cerâmicos foi estudada por meio da técnica da ressonância paramagnética eletrônica (RPE) e os resultados mostraram que apesar das cerâmicas analisadas pertencerem a três grupos distintos, não houve variações significativas quanto às suas respectivas temperaturas de queima. / Dissertacao (Mestrado) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP / FAPESP:06/59237-6

Levantamento e mapeamento da distribuição de material arqueológico na microbacia hidrográfica do município de Cristal-RS / Survey and mapping of the distribution of archaeological material in the hydrographic microbasin of the municipality of Cristal-RS

Elissandro Voigt Beier 23 February 2018 (has links)
Nesta dissertação, foi realizado o levantamento, caracterização e o mapeamento do material arqueológico em uma parcela da zona rural da bacia hidrográfica do município de Cristal, estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram analisados e identificados os processos de ocupação pretéritos por meio da bibliografia e material arqueológico identificado in locu e constatou-se os diferentes elementos populacionais que se instalaram na região e que deixaram suas marcas na paisagem por meio de alteração do ambiente, implantação de sítios arqueológicos, uso de artefatos e ferramentas característicos pelos antigos habitantes. Considerou-se uma região com características ambientais que configuram um ambiente de transição, entre uma porção serrana da serra do Sudeste e a região do baixo curso do Rio Camaquã, denominada planície litorânea interna. A área de estudo abrange aproximadamente 60 km², fragmentadas em 18 microbacias hidrográficas, onde inclui-se o rio Camaquã. Esse território apresenta formas de atualmente ocupação e exploração do solo, condicionado pela ocupação de descendentes europeus e que pelo processo de fragmentação da terra, modela esta diferenciação e a apropriação dos espaços naturais. Esta mesma área que na atualidade apresenta forma diversificada de exploração do solo esta sobreposta a as áreas em que é identificada densidade expressiva de sítios arqueológicos não pesquisados, sendo que estes sítios arqueológicos apresentaram um elevado número de artefatos. Para a identificação dos locais com ocorrências arqueológicas foi adotada a metodologia de fragmentação de uma grande área em parcelas menores, considerando para esta divisão as características naturais do ambiente e divisão da área em 04 parcelas (região do vale do rio Camaquã; região da planície de meandros; região do arroio Sapata e região do alto da serra). Sobre estas parcelas foi implantada a metodologia do caminhamento sistemático, que consiste em gerar linhas paralelas entre si sobre terrenos com diferentes coberturas vegetais, abrangendo uma prospecção superficial dos terrenos em busca de artefatos arqueológicos que caracterizem um sítio arqueológico. Estes locais com material arqueológico foram identificados, mapeados e descritos. Os materiais identificados nos locais foram acondicionados conforme sua localização, contabilizados em campo. Em laboratório os mesmos foram lavados, secos, contabilizados conforme sua origem, analisados visualmente com a ajuda de lupa para identificação de ranhuras e cicatrizes de mecanização, fotografados em escala e posteriormente sendo acondicionados em sacos plásticos, identificados conforme sua origem em campo. O material identificado em campo por meio do caminhamento contabilizou uma soma de 75 sítios arqueológicos não identificados por nenhuma pesquisa anterior, dispersos nas 04 regiões ambientais distintas pesquisadas, foram identificados ainda 109 locais com ocorrência de material arqueológico em pequenas quantidades que podem apresentar relação com as grandes ocorrências. Quanto aos materiais localizados nos sítios arqueológicos foram contabilizados 4.647 fragmentos e artefatos de natureza lítica, de litologias internas e externas a área de pesquisa, incluindo-se instrumentos denominados de instrumentos guia, porque delimitam sua confecção a determinados grupos ao longo do contexto histórico de ocupação e 5.633 fragmentos cerâmicos de diferentes colorações e caracterização morfológica na face externa dos recipientes, caracterizando diferentes funcionalidades do recipiente e dos locais de ocorrência, quando contextualizados. Como principal resultado, pôde-se inferir a relação entre os processos antrópicos (revolvimento do solo, de pedoturbação e atividade agrícolas mecanizadas) e sua interferência sobre os espaços culturais, acarretando alterações nas configurações destes espaços e a destruição e/ou alteração estética de peças arqueológicas, esta observação foi constatada na totalidade dos 75 sítios arqueológicos identificados. Como resultado final cruzaram-se os dados de densidade de materiais em cada sítio, com a localização dos mesmos no território, ocorre ainda a diferenciação dos sítios de acordo com os materiais encontrados, sendo classificados com sítios líticos, cerâmicos e lito-cerâmicos, assim gerou-se um produto cartográfico final. / In this dissertation, a survey, characterization and mapping of archaeological material was carried out in a portion of the rural area of the river basin of the municipality of Cristal, state of Rio Grande do Sul. Previous occupation processes were analyzed and identified through bibliography and archaeological material identified in locus and it was verified the different population elements that settled in the region and that left their marks in the landscape by means of alteration of the environment, implantation of archaeological sites, use of artifacts and characteristic tools by the old inhabitants. It was considered a region with environmental characteristics that constitute a transition environment, between a mountainous portion of the Southeastern mountain range and the region of the lower course of the Camaquã River, called the internal coastal plain. The study area covers approximately 60 km², fragmented in 18 micro-watersheds, where the Camaquã river is included. This territory presents forms of current occupation and exploitation of the soil, conditioned by the occupation of European descendants and that by the process of fragmentation of the land, models this differentiation and the appropriation of the natural spaces. This same area that currently presents a diversified form of soil exploration is superimposed on the areas in which an expressive density of unsearched archaeological sites is identified, and these archeological sites have a high number of artifacts. For the identification of sites with archaeological occurrences, the methodology of fragmentation of a large area into smaller plots was adopted, considering for this division the natural characteristics of the environment and division of the area into 04 plots (Camaquã River region; meanders; region of the Sapata river stream and region of the mountain range). On these plots the methodology of systematic walking was implemented, which consists in generating parallel lines between them on lands with different vegetation cover, covering a superficial survey of the lands in search of archaeological artifacts that characterize an archaeological site. These sites with archaeological material were identified, mapped and described. The materials identified in the sites were conditioned according to their location, counted in the field. In the laboratory they were washed, dried, counted according to their origin, analyzed visually with the aid of a magnifying glass to identify grooves and mechanized scars, photographed in scale and later being packed in plastic bags, identified according to their origin in the field. The material identified in the field by means of the trip counted a sum of 75 archaeological sites not identified by previous research, dispersed in the 04 different environmental regions surveyed, were still identified 109 places with occurrence of archaeological material in small quantities that may have relation with the occurrences. As for the materials located in the archaeological sites, 4,647 fragments and artifacts of a lithic nature were recorded, from internal and external lithology\'s to the research area, including instruments called guide instruments, because they delimit their confection to certain groups along the historical context of occupation and 5,633 ceramic fragments of different stains and morphological characterization on the external face of the containers, characterizing different functionalities of the container and the places of occurrence, when contextualized. As a main result, it was possible to infer the relation between the anthropic processes (soil revolving, pedoturbation and mechanized agricultural activity) and their interference on cultural spaces, causing alterations in the configurations of these spaces and the destruction and/or aesthetic alteration of pieces archaeological findings, this observation was verified in all the 75 archaeological sites identified. As a final result, the material density data were cross-referenced in each site, with the location of the sites in the territory, and the site differentiation according to the materials found, being classified with lithic, ceramic and litho-ceramic sites, and final cartographic product was generated.
