Materials and technology of mosaics from the House of Charidemos at Halikarnassos (Bodrum, Turkey)
Heritage Science
An excavation in 1856 by Charles T. Newton and a re-excavation in 1990–93 by a joint Danish-Turkish team revealed several mosaic floors in a late-antique domus from the fifth century CE, now called the House of Charidemos. Nineteen tesserae from the floor have been analysed by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, Raman micro-spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Seven tesserae were made of opaque glass, eleven from various rock/lithic materials, while one of them was a ceramic fragment. This case-study reports the first analyses undertaken of tesserae from late-antique Halikarnassos. The results show the use of recycled Sb–Mn decoloured glass and two types of red glass. A comparison with tesserae from other sites in Anatolia from the same period shows similarities in the base glass composition, but also some particularities of the colouring and opacifying agents used for the mosaic of the Hous...

This study was carried out to determine the type and resources of stone tessera taken from parcel no 4642 (Museum Hotel) mosaics in Hatay province. Archaeometric analysis was performed on 60 tessera samples belonging to 6 different mosaics. In the scope of the study, color analysis, P-XRF and petrographic thin section optical microscopy analysis were performed on tessera samples. As a result of the analyzes, the color components of the tesserae were documented. According to the results of P-XRF analysis; main, artifact, transition and presence of rare earth elements were determined. At the same time, because the majority of tessera is composed of limestone, it is determined that there are high Ca elements in their structures and these results support the results obtained by petrography analysis. According to petrography analysis; the majority of the tessera are limestone, siltstone, clay stone and radiolarite rock species and just one rock type is not determined. It is concluded that these rock types are found in Antakya and surrounding of the region. When the tissue characteristics of tesserae samples were evaluated, it was seen that the tesserae belonging to the limestone species had micritic and sparitic texture and the other rock types had crystalline and clastic texture. When the hardness levels of tesserae samples were examined, it was found that the hardest tesserae was tesserae of the radiolith rock type (4,5-5 mohs) and the others were generally (2-3 mohs).
In this study, I want to show in which part, how used and what kind of ceramics used in buildings. While expecting to separate them, the conclusion show that the Anatolian building decoration have creative mixed use of different type of ceramics in buildings and in every detail and in structural part we can see ceramic uses. This study briefly introduces the history of ceramic and after how do the ceramics and colors produced and after, how and which part of buildings in Anatolia decorated in the age of Anatolian Seljuk.
The purpose of this work has been the characterization of the floor mosaic materials, the evaluation of their use in the church of Küçük Tavşan Adası (Bodrum, Turkey) and the finding of their quarries, in accordance with the aim of the survey, carried out by the Tuscia University of Viterbo (Italy) in the church of Tavşan, to create an integrated system of visual and micro-chemical analysis for the study of different materials of work of art (pigments, mortars, marbles and other stones). Mortars and tesserae were studied by means of: polarizing microscope observations of cross and thin sections, FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrometry, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), staining methods and reflectance spectrophotometry measurements. These studies showed that tesserae setting bed is characterized by the presence of crushed bricks and limonite conglomerates that give a pink-red color to the mortar, similar to that identified in the first pictorial layer (6th century A.D.) of the church ...
Late Antique Floor Mosaics in Secular Contexts from Anatolia
Late Antique Floor Mosaics in Secular Contexts from Anatolia, 2022
This thesis compiles and conducts quantitative and qualitative analysis of Late Antique floor mosaics in Anatolia in secular contexts as a whole for the first time. Contextualizing these mosaics within the early Byzantine Empire and the other media and studying their agency, this analysis aims to contribute to a better understanding of the cultural and social history of the region in this period and provide input for future studies. In this regard, the similarities and differences across regions as well as continuity and change over time are probed in addition to the drivers of choice for location, design, and style of mosaics during Late Antiquity. Another related topic of inquiry is the cross-over of motifs across different media. With these questions in its focus, this study intends to address the notion of continuity and break with the Greco-Roman tradition in the Late Antique/Early Byzantine period and delineate the main features of the Anatolian mosaics. These mosaics are explored from the sensorial and spatial perspectives in art history and archaeology through Lefebvre’s spatial theory while glocalization concept is introduced for the study of their extent and diversity. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this thesis aims to deepen knowledge through questioning motives for “mosaic making”, workshop organization and financial provisions along with their implications for the daily life of Late Antique Byzantines during their creation and reception processes. Keywords: Early Byzantine Anatolia, mosaic making, secular, quantitative analysis, sensory turn, Lefebvre’s spatial theory, glocalization

These two books represent the first volumes in the Uludağ University Mosaic Research Center Series 1. They publish the papers given at two symposia held in Turkey but with an international attendance: the first took place at Bursa in June 2006, and the second was held at Gaziantep in June 2007. These symposia owe their origins to a small gathering of Turkish and international scholars who met in Istanbul in 2004. They came together again the following year at Altinoluk, and later that year the creation of AIEMA Turkey was announced. The formation of a Turkish branch of AIEMA (l'Association internationale pour l'étude de la mosaïque antique) is welcome evidence of the commitment to Turkish mosaic studies. The President of AIEMA Turkey is Prof. Dr Mustafa Şahin, the driving force behind the Mosaic Research Center at Uludağ University and the editor of these volumes. By the time of its 2006 meeting, the Turkish mosaic symposium had attracted 27 archaeologists and conservators from seven countries. The 2007 conference exceeded all expectations, being attended by 178 participants from 12 countries (including Turkey). This level of attendance attests to the great interest in Turkish mosaics and is well served by these publications which have appeared with impressive and commendable speed.

In 2012, the international team of the archaeological expedition at Amheida, under the primary sponsorship of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW, New York University), found a large amount of pristine mosaic tesserae in the Roman polis of Trimithis, the modern Amheida (Dakhla Oasis, Upper Egypt). The tesserae were recovered in a room that was part of a bath complex that was under renovation when it was suddenly abandoned at the end of the 4th century AD. The tesserae, more than 20,400 in number, were made of limestone, sandstone and, in a very small percentage, of recycled pottery, showing four different colours: white, yellow, dark grey/black and dark red. They must be considered as the first evidence for a mosaic in the Egyptian oases. The aims of this paper are to present the finding context, the tesserae and their manufacturing and, finally, to display parallels with comparable discoveries.2012 yılında, Antik Dünya Araştırmaları Enstitüsü (ISAW, New York Üniv...
The Photogrammetric Evaluation of the Tiles on Turkish Traditional Buildings, an Example from Konya
The art of tile -earthenware glazed tiles- which is one of the oldest and traditional Turkish arts, are usually used in architecture and products such as pots and bowls as ceramics. Çini, which is a branch of ceramic art that developed in Central Asia, was brought to Anatolia by the Seljuks. It occupied a very important place in Ottoman architectural decoration and had very prominent place in the history of Islamic art. This branch of art had embellished mosques, madrasas (theological schools), tombs and palaces, kiosks, fountains, internal and external parts of similar buildings and Seljuk mosques, madrasas, tombs and palaces were decorated with exquisite tiles. From very old times, Turks had preferred to embellish their buildings with tiles and they had started to adorn their places of worship with the tiles. This preference became a tradition in the period of Anatolian Seljuks, continued in the period of Ottoman and this traditional art continued until the first years of Republic...
