The results obtained from macroscopic and microscopic tests of the samples have been analyzed and findings were presented in separate tables for each species. The research was finalized with the discussion and evaluation of the analysis and findings. Key words: YA±ldA±z Palace, Harem structures, macroscopic identification, microscopic identification, softwood species, hardwood species.
