Publication Metadata only Ft-Ir And Edxrf Analysis Of Wall Paintings Of Ancient Ainos Hagia Sophia Church(Elsevier Science Bv, Po Box 211, 1000 Ae Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2009-04-30) Başaran, Sait; Kocabaş, I.; Güleç, A.; Çeşmeli, H.; Uçar, B.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; TR10127; TR111424The wall paintings of ancient Ainos Hagia (Saint) Sophia Church were investigated by FT-IR and EDXRF spectroscopy. Calcite, aragonite, gypsum, and quartz were detected in all the samples. Feldspar phases and pigments were inferred from both band component analysis and the second derivative profiles of the IR spectra. The black, dark brown, and red colouration was due to different concentrations of MnO2, Mn2O3, magnetite, and haematite. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

FTIR spectral results indicated that textiles were made from partially degummed Bombyx mod silk. The IR spectral investigation of the textile button revealed that some cellulose fillings were used inside the button. The EDXRF analysis of the metal ornaments showed that they were silver plated copper. Surface morphology of the textiles and the metal ornaments were investigated by SEM images. It was shown that textile fibers were highly degraded. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Adiba; Başaran, Sait; Çakan, Banu; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; TR10127; TR53588Ancient glass fragments excavated in the archaeological district Enez (Ancient Ainos)-Turkey were investigated by combined Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry techniques. Multi-elemental contents of 15 glass fragments that belong to Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Periods, were determined by INAA. The concentrations of twenty six elements (Na, K, Ca, Sc, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Rb, Sr, Sb, Cs, Ba, Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, Au and Th), which might be present in the samples as flux, stabilizers, colorants or opacifiers, and impurities, were examined. Chemometric treatment of the INAA data was performed and principle component analysis revealed presence of 3 distinct groups. The thermal history of the glass samples was determined by FTIR spectrometry. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

EDXRF spectrometry was used as a complementary technique. The experimental results allowed us to identify the mineralogical composition of body samples and main pigments of the decorated parts of the terra-cotta sarcophagi. Spectroscopic results revealed that the investigated samples were fired to a temperature less than 750 degrees C. in the oxidising atmosphere. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Raw clay, obtained from a clay bed, that was unearthed during the archeological excavations at the same site, was also analyzed for comparison. To determine the firing temperature of the pottery shards, ceramic tablets were prepared from this raw clay sample (in three different firing temperatures: 650, 700 and 900 degrees C) and analyzed. The results allowed us to identify the mineral composition and to discuss the firing conditions. Chemometric analysis on the IR data was performed for revealing the distinct groups.Publication Metadata only Investigations of Archaeological Glass Bracelets and Perfume Bottles Excavated in Ancient Ainos (Enez) by Multiple Analytical Techniques(Springer, 233 Spring St, New York, Ny 10013 USA, 2018-03) Özel, Ayşen E.; Kecel Gündüz, Serda; Başaran, Sait; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127; 110745; 110526Fragments of two perfume bottles belonging to the Hellenistic and Roman periods, and five bracelets belonging to the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods, excavated in the archaeological site of Enez during the excavations in 2000, have been investigated. The samples were analyzed using micro-Raman, FTIR, and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence techniques, in order to study the ancient technology of glass production and to determine chemical compositions of the basic components and coloring elements of the glassware. All the investigated glasses can be characterized as low-magnesia-soda-lime silicate glasses, whose colors are induced by metal ions. The melting points of the investigated glasses are estimated to be quite close to each other and around 1000A degrees C.Publication Metadata only FTIR Spectroscopic and Chemometric Investigations of Ancient Potteries, belonging to 4th-6th Century BC, excavated in Ancient Ainos (Enez)-Turkey(2018) Başaran, Sait; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; 10127Ancient potteries are important source of materials on many aspects of the past such as civilization, trade and technology. Potteries are made of clayminerals and the common major clays used in making potteries are in smectite or kaolinite group of clay minerals. Clay minerals as the main material for the production of potteries show some characteristic reactions during the firing; e.g. dehydroxylation, decomposition and phase transformation. Thus, the firing conditions can be estimated by the absence or occurrence of the specific mineral assembly. IR spectroscopy, in conjuction with x-ray diffraction, is a powerful tool for clay mineral analysis, thus for the mineralogical characterization of potteries. Using the infrared spectra, unique information about the group of minerals in which the specimen belongs, the degree of crystalline and non-crystalline impurities can be determines and reactions of minerals with chemicals in their environment can also inferred. Recently the IR spectroscopic data is used together with statistical analysis methods such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis for grouping / provenance studies of potteries. in this study a set of twenty pottery fragments, coming from archaeological excavation in EnezTurkey, was investigated by FT-IR and Chemometric techniques, XRD was used as complimentary technique. FT-IR data provided a detailed description of the minerals contained in the pottery findings, whereas the chemometric analyses were found to helpful to find the similarities between the samples, which gaye meaningful interpretation to archeological studies. The whole set of samples shows a general similarity in the mineralogical composition, compatible with the geological conformation of Enez. Enez area is famous by clay deposits. The illite and montmorillonite were the main clays of this area. Calcite concentration was found to different in all samples but presence of also microcline indicated that CO3is primary and comes as impurity of the local clays. Feldspar phases were inferred from the second derivative profiles of the IR spectra. The absence of any firing mineral in the ceramic body is a clear indication of low firing temperature. Dark brown and black coloration was due to different concentrations of Mn02, magnetite and red coloration was due to hematite. Spectroscopic results indicated that the potteries were fired to a temperature less than 8000C in the oxid izi ng atmosphere.Publication Metadata only Archaeometric investigations of terra-cotta sarcophages from the excavations at einos (Enez) Turkey: An EDXRF Study(Asian Journal Of Chemistry, 11/100 Rajendra Nagar, Sector 3,, Sahibabad 201 005, Ghaziabad, India, 2011-07) Kurap, Gülnur; Başaran, Sait; Uçar Çakan, Banu; Özsait Kocabaş, Işıl; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; TR10127; TR111424; TR136713; TR53588; TR122283In this study 11 clazomenian type sargophagi, found in ancient Ainos, one of the important archaeological site of Turkey, were investigated by EDXRF spectroscopy. The elemental composition of the painted parts and body samples of the sarcophagi were determined and the pigments used in the decorated parts were identified. Chemometric treatment of the XRF data was performed and principle component analysis revealed presence of 3 distinct groups.Publication Metadata only EDXRF and FTIR Analysis of Some Glass Fragments Belong to Ottoman Period, Excavated in Ancient Ainos (Enez) Turkey(Asian Journal Of Chemistry, 11/100 Rajendra Nagar, Sector 3,, Sahibabad 201 005, Ghaziabad, India, 2013-12) Başaran, Sait; Çakan, Banu; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127; 111424; 53588Ancient glass fragments excavated in the archaeological district Enez (Ancient Ainos), Turkey were investigated by combined energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry techniques. Multi-elemental contents of a spirally twisted translucent yellow glass bracelet, fragment of a turquoise blue vessel and its cover and a fragment of a translucent white vase decorated with a surface coating, that belong to Ottoman period were determined by EDXRF method. The concentrations of 23 elements (Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Br, Rb, Sr, Sb, Ba, Ce, U, Pb) which might be present in the samples as flux, stabilizers, colorants or opacifiers and impurities, were examined. The glasses were classified as potassium-limy glass. IR reflection and absorption spectroscopy enable us to determine structural characteristics of the glasses.
