Abstract

The age determination and characterization of historical works is of great importance in illuminating the technological knowledge of the communities that lived in the past. In this context, the value of archaeometric work is increasing. Archaeometry can be defined as the application and use of mathematical meas-urement and analysis methods of ancient artifacts and materials. Archeological information in the data obtained by various archaeometric techniques is supported by scientific data, resulting in more concrete and healthier results. In this study; general Characterization methods used for Characterization (LA-ICP-MS, SEM-EDS, MALDI, XRD, XRF, FT-IR, Raman) and methods used for dating (ESR, OSL, TL) and archaeometric studies done with these methods are explained. Also in this study, the origins, the construction technique, the stages of production and the history of the artifacts in archeological excavation were illuminated by archaeometric analyses so a clear identity of the artifacts, composition, quality, absolute date and chronological and technical comparison studies were carried out with similar studies. It has been revealed that the results of the research will contribute to archeological studies and interpretation in archaeometric direction. Furthermore, in this study, it was tried to emphasize the certainty of the concept of science by providing the definition of a cultural existence without any doubt thanks to the multidisciplinary point of view presented by archaeometry.
