“…3). In addition to the plant and animal remains discussed here, a wide range of architecture and environmental and cultural remains has been excavated (Campbell et al 1999;Carter, Campbell, and Gauld 2003). The analyses reported here do not yet represent the entire excavated chronology from the site; significant numbers of samples, especially from the earliest phases excavated to date, will be analyzed in the near future.…”

“…The site of Domuztepe (Kahramanmaraş, Turkey) represents the Northwestern border of a unique material culture distribution commonly known as the Halaf culture (Campbell et al 1999;Carter, Campbell, and Gauld 2003) which had influenced vast regions of Northern Mesopotamia during the final stages of the Later Neolithic time period (approximately 6500-5500 BC). Domuztepe remains of the largest known Halaf period sites (at 20 ha in total area) in all of the ancient Near East (Campbell et al 1999).…”

Understanding the location and distribution of raw materials used in the production of prehistoric artefacts is a significant part of archaeological research that aims to understand the interregional interaction patterns in the past. The aim of this study is to explore the regional locations of the source rock utilized in the production of stone bowls, which were unearthed at the Neolithic (approximately 6500-5500 BC) site of Domuztepe (Kahramanmaraş-Turkey), via a combination of remote-sensing methods, petrographic and chemical analyses. To accomplish this task, the stone bowls were identified mineralogically, geochemically and spectrally, and then mapped with Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) sensors. According to the defined mineralogical composition, which is iron-rich chlorite, the target areas were selected among geologically potential areas that would bear similar source rocks in near vicinity and the target spectral signature was searched within these target areas. In order to overcome the problem of spectral similarity of chlorite group to some other minerals such as carbonate or epidote group minerals, band ratioing (BR) and feature-oriented principal component analysis (FOPCA) were used with an integrated approach and then their results were filtered according to the outcomes of the relative absorption band-depth (RBD) images. The areas with highest potentials were vectorized and then field checked. Mineralogical investigations on the collected field samples reveal that there is a mineralogical match between the source and target material. One group of stone bowls samples have similar geochemical signatures as the field samples having ultramafic origins. However, there is another group of stone bowls samples which are geochemically dissimilar to the first group of field and bowls samples. The data regarding the geochemical signatures of these two groups indicate a genetic relation between the sample sets. Therefore, it is concluded that the source rock of a major portion of the stone bowls unearthed at Domuztepe most probably originated from the near vicinity of the site. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Os períodos históricos de ocupação da região por estas duas sociedades foram definidos tendo como base o aparecimento e desaparecimento das cerâmicas de ambas as tradições nas sequência estratigráficas da região (Blackham, 1996;McCorriston, 1992;Oates, 1968). A distinção entre as duas culturas, Samarra e Halaf, decorre não apenas do tipo de cerâmica produzida nas duas sociedades, mas também pelas regiões ocupadas (Campbell et al, 1999). A cultura Samarra habitou a região sul da Mesopotâmia, enquanto a cultura Halaf localizava-se estritamente na região norte (Grossman & Hinman, 2013) A nomenclatura Samarra deriva do nome do sítio onde os primeiros artefatos utilizados para a estocagem e o processamento de alimentos desta cultura foram encontrados (BLACKHAM, 1996).…”

“…Entre os sítios Samarra também seria característica a presença de tijolos moldados, que eram utilizados na construção de habitações com o formato 'T', tripartidas (HUOT, 1992 A cultura Halaf assitiu ao desaparecimento da cultura Samarra, que teria dado origem à cultura Ubaid, conforme será apresentado aqui. A cultura Ubaid espalhouse pela região sul e, posterioromente, para o norte da Mesopotâmia formando, pela primeira vez, uma única unidade cultural em toda a região (CAMPBELL et al, 1999). Acredita-se que os Halaf, diferentemente de Samarra, teriam sido incorporados pela cultura Ubaid, que era tecnologicamente mais avançada e alcançou contingentes populacionais mais significativos (CAMPBELL et al, 1999;GROSSMAN;HINMAN, 2013).…”

Para Stein (2012), o avanço de Ubaid, que culminou com a assimilação da cultura Halaf, se deu em um processo pacífico de disseminação ideológica e identitária.…”
