My research focused on the chipped stone industries of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) in the Upper Tigris Basin in the Near East.
The effort we devote to a PhD transforms the impossibility of knowing into the affordance of understanding.
I successfully defended my PhD thesis last week — unanimously approved by the jury. 🍀
Endless thanks to my supervisor Prof. Dr. Metin Kartal, the jury members, my family and my friends.

An informative poster detailing a session at a conference focusing on the study of obsidian in archaeology. The text emphasizes the significance of lithic industries in understanding past societies, highlighting obsidian as a key material for toolmaking in regions with volcanic rocks. It outlines the session’s aim to unite researchers specializing in various analytical methods, including technological, typological, and functional analyses of obsidian. Key themes include core reduction techniques, tool typology, experimental archaeology, use-wear studies, data standardization, and the material’s procurement and circulation. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and broaden perspectives in lithic studies.
