FARKLI KEMİKLER, FARKLI ELEMENT BİRİKİMLERİ: NEOLİTİK DÖNEM TEPECİK-ÇİFTLİK İNSAN KEMİKLERİNDE GÖMÜ SONRASI ELEMENT BİRİKİMLERİ
DIFFERENT BONE TYPES DIFFERENT ELEMENT ACCUMULATIONS: DIAGENETIC ELEMENT ACCUMULATION ON THE NEOLITHIC PERIOD HUMAN BONES FROM TEPECIK-ÇIFTLIK

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the accumulation of elements in the ribs and metatarsal and metacarpal bones of 25 individuals dated Neolithic period from the Tepecik-Çiftlik archaeological site within the Niğde province were analyzed. The similarities and differences among the chemical changes of the samples after burial were evaluated by comparing the amount of the elements detected in the ribs, metacarpals, and metatarsals with the femurs of the same individuals. In studies conducted on the nutritional models of past populations, it has been found that elemental changes are occurred between bone and soil considering the elements that are accepted as indicators of bone preservation, and the change is found to be higher in ribs than the other bones. Examination of possible differences in elemental changes in different bone types constitutes one of the objectives of the study.
