Holocene fluvial development of the Upper Tigris Valley (Southeastern Turkey) as documented by archaeological data
چکیده انگلیسی
This study was carried out to elucidate the Holocene development of the valley of the Tigris River between Bismil and Batman, which will be inundated by the reservoir waters of Ilısu Dam to be built in Upper Tigris Valley, and to collect the geoarchaeological data of the mounds located there. In the Tigris Valley +4-5 and +2-3 m terraces were formed in the Holocene. According to geoarchaeological data obtained from the mound located on the +4-5 m terrace, it was determined that the Tigris River has been flowing in the same bed from the Neolithic Age. The floodplains of the +4-5 m terrace occurred as a result of floods which took place in three different cycles. The first caused the formation of Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene channel and floodplain material composed of coarse gravel and sandy silt. On this floodplain with a relative altitude of +2 m above river level, Late Neolithic settlements (6000-5500 BC) were formed. The second cycle is represented by the formation of Early Chalcolithic (5500-4000 BC) floodplain material. There were Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age (4000-2650 BC) settlements formed on this floodplain with a relative altitude of 3-3.5 m above river level. The third and the final cycle is represented by 1-2 m thick yellowish-orange flood deposits which started to form from the end of Early Bronze Age I. These cover the Early Bronze Age I cemetery (2800-2650 BC) and settlements belonging to earlier periods, as in the case of Aşağı Salat Mound.
