Burgaz-Datça'da (Palaia Knidos) çoklu-element toprak analizi: Bir yerleşim arkeolojisi çalışması

Human activities such as food preparation, cooking, garbage disposal, tool production leave their traces on surfaces by producing residues; some are physically collectible, while some residues get deposited within the soil, only to be identified through chemical analysis. The main purpose of this study is to generate additional, high-resolution data by combining geochemical and analytical analyses with archaeological evidence in order to interpret spatial organization documented through many years of excavation at the site of Burgaz, Datça. Soil samples collected during excavations at Burgaz were subject to elemental analysis by using ICP-AES and other analytical methods; the results are interpreted with respect to human use of spaces and artefact distribution at the site.
