Mozaik yer döşemesi statümen (şist, mermer, kuvarsit, metagabro, tuğla-kiremit ve lisvenit çakılları), rudus (3-4 cm’lik kaba harç), nükleus (2-3 cm’lik ince harç), yatak harcı (1-2 mm kalınlığında) ve tessera katmanlarından oluşmaktadır. Katmanlar arasındaki geçişler keskin değildir. Başlıca 14 farklı desenin Opus Regulatum, Opus Tesselatum ve Opus Vermiculatum tekniklerinin birlikte kullanılmasıyla meydana getirilen KKABP yer mozaiklerinde 1x1x1, 1x1x2 ve 2x2x2 cm arasında değişen boyutlarda, farklı renk tonlarında kristalize kireçtaşı, mermer, dolomitik mermer, traverten, oolitik kumtaşı bileşimli kayaç ve tuğla-kiremit parçalarından oluşan tesseralar kullanılmıştır. Petrografik incelemelerde dolomitik mermer ve beyaz renkli mermer olarak adlandırılan tessera örnekleri köken kayalarının sırasıyla dolomit-kireçtaşı ve kireçtaşı olduğu belirlenmiş, sonuçlar XRD çalışmaları ile de desteklenmiştir. Farklı renkli tessera örneklerinin Üst Kıta Kabuğu (ÜKK) değerlerine göre normalleştirilmiş çoklu element dağılım diyagramında, benzer dağılım desenleri gösterdikleri, bununla birlikte Cs, Ta ve La dışındaki bütün elementlerde ÜKK değerlerine oranla fakirleşme gösterdikleri belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak KKABP mozaik yer döşemesinde kullanılan tessera örneklerinin minero-petrografik özelliklerinin bölgenin jeolojik yapısı ile uyumlu olduğu ve olası kaynak alanlarının antik kent ve yakın çevresindeki jeolojik birimler olabileceği değerlendirilmiştir.","PeriodicalId":40714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mosaic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69065285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, along with the ruins unearthed in 2015 and 2016, information about the ancient period of the city began to emerge. Therefore, it is essential to preserve the unearthed remains and their information and transfer them to the future in-situ, within the architectural and cultural context. Within the scope of the study, a protective shelter design proposal is developed on the residential settlement discovered in Ömerbey District in 2016 and the mosaics discovered in the settlement. The designed shelter aims to protect the remains from various adverse effects, provide the team's comfort carrying out the study (thermal, security, etc.), and fulfill the functions of providing ideal conditions for the visitors. In addition, the sustainability of the top shelter and its flexibility to expand to include new finds discovered around the excavation area also played a significant role in the shelter design.","PeriodicalId":40714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mosaic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69065220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First of all, the Chora (Khora) Monastery, where the work is located, is examined in terms of its architectural qualities. After giving information about the artist and “ktetor” (patron) of the art-work, the mythological origin of the Anastasis theme, which is the subject of the work, is examined. The original aspects of the technique used in the making of the Anastasis fresco are revealed. The iconographic analysis of the work is based on the method developed by Erwin Panofsky. In this context, while examining the Anastasis fresco, first of all, its formal analysis is made and the relations between the figures in the composition are examined; In the second stage, the characters represented by the figures and the transferred concepts are tried to be revealed in the light of theological and allegorical information. In the third stage, while examining the meanings of the work in the conditions of the period; It is also compared with the works produced in the recent period with a similar theme. Finally, the interaction between the architectural and iconographic programs of the building is discussed. Khora Monastery has a layout in which the architectural program and iconography are intertwined and even the architectural elements are determined by iconography. For this reason, it can be examined as an original example of Byzantine Art leading to Renaissance. Located on the Apse half dome of the Khora South Chapel, the Anastasis fresco handles the resurrection theme, which has an important place in the Christian literature. Considering the entire iconographic program in the chapel, the resurrection scene is the main theme. The fact that the Anastasis fresco takes place in the parekklesion also symbolizes the expectation of immortality / resurrection of the patron of the Khora Monastery, Metokhites, whose tomb is located here.","PeriodicalId":40714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mosaic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69065210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
