Full textAbstract:
The article is an attempt to supplement the knowledge of Italians' ideas about Ottomans during the 15th and 16th centuries, using the preserved antique textiles of both cultures, as well as fabrics' mentions in written and visual sources. Modern technological research methods of ancient textiles make it possible to clarify their attributive data, which in turn contributes to more definite conclusions about artistic exchanges in the field of decoration of expensive textiles. Thus, for example, it turned out that two fabrics from the collection of the Khanenko Museum, which were considered Italian, are the work of Ottoman masters. If the structure of the Italian and Ottoman fabrics of the period under the study are quite different, visually – they are often almost identical. Despite the fact that the trade in Ottoman fabrics was not widespread in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries, Italian painters and weavers still actively imitated the textile products of the Middle East. Written sources, especially epistolary and inventory, are also filled with references to Ottoman fabrics and "turkish-style" textiles. Since there were few authentic silks from West Asia in the secular space of Italian cities at the time, it is likely that citizens could even associate Ottoman culture with certain types of local textiles that looked like "Turkish". The number and peculiarities of their description in written sources suggest the Italians' enormous interest in Ottoman culture, "cautious concern" for the growing Ottoman Empire, and recognition of its dominance over many Asian peoples. All this took place in spite of the permanent wars between the Venetian Republic and the Ottomans. The entry into Italian fashion of fabrics "in the Turkish style" was lightning fast. However, local authors emphasized the antiquity of this fashion tradition, to some extent rooting the idea of kinship between the two cultures.

Bengal textiles enjoyed a unique place and an indisputable supremacy in the world market for centuries before the invasion of the machinmade fabrics in the early nineteenth century following the industrial revolution of the West and Political control of the Indian sub-continent by the English East India Company. It need not be emphasized that the products of the Bengal handloom industry reigned supreme all over the accessible Asian and North African markets in the middle ages, and later became one of the major staples of the export trade of the European Companies. Most travellers from Europe starting with Tomé Pires, Varthema and Barbosa in the sixteenth century to Bernier, Tavernier and others in the seventeenth singled out especially textiles of Bengal for comments on their extraordinary quality and exquisite beauty. But it was not only in the field of high qulity cloth that Bengal had a predominant position; it was also the main Production centre of ordinary and medium quality textiles. Long before the advent of the Europeans, the Asian merchants from different parts of the continent and Indian merchants from various regions of the country derived a lucrative trade in Bengal textiles.

Textile and textile products are important commodities for all developing countries, including Indonesia. Despite of those significance, developing countries have to deal with the challenge of the global context. The crisis in developed countries previousely were major textile export destination add the challege. This paper aims to find out Indonesia’s strategy to maintain its textile industry as its major potential commodity. In doing so, this research focuses on the strategy of trade diplomacy in the context of global value chains. Considering the decline trend of export to the developed countries, this research focus on the market of Middle East as the non-traditional market. This reseach applies descriptive qualitative reseach metodh with the concept of global value chains and trade diplomacy as the research analitical framework. This research finds that, in the context of GVC, Indonesia has the highly competitive barrier to entry suitable to penetrate Middle East market. It has production chains domestically, while marketing chains to the Middle East countries. Furthermore, in trade diplomacy, Indonesia implements the function of representation, negotiation, and advocacy.</p><p class="06IsiAbstrak">Keywords: Textile products export, GVC, trade diplomacy, Middle East market</p>

Lithuanian folk textile heritage is an important part of world culture heritage, on which various ideas and traditions are imprinted with the emphasis on the education of selfconsciousness of society and preservation of national identity. This paper deals with a complex analysis of Lithuanian national fabrics, the data of which have been collected by the authors’ abundant expeditions into Lithuanian rural territories. The current research presents the peculiarities of designs, colours and ornamentation of authentic woven textile manufactured since the middle of the 19th century up to now. The significance of this study is that it investigates only authentic textiles obtained from weavers or their relatives in Lithuanian villages, and the presence of these articles has been undisclosed up to now. This research presents collected, registered and investigated data concerning colours, ornamentation and patterns as expressive possibilities of designs of Lithuanian folk textile: dimai and pick-up fabrics. The current analysis discovers new features of originality of the national fabrics.

Introduction. The article analyzes the level of developing spinning and weaving production of the Middle Don population in the Scythian time. Based on studying textile prints on the bottoms of ceramic vessels, as well as some extant samples of fabrics, the fineness of threads and the direction of their twist, the type of weave and the density of fabrics are reconstructed. Methods. The authors studied 18 samples of fabric imprints on the bottoms of the ceramic vessels of Mostyshche hillfort. The imprints were made with the help of highly plastic clay. The analysis of the extant fragments of fabrics was carried out with the help of microscopic equipment in the laboratory of the State Historical Museum. Analysis. The fabric imprints of different varieties made of fibers of vegetable origin were found on the pottery from Mostishche hillfort. The density of coarser ones did not exceed 10 threads per 1 cm. The majority were fabrics with a density of up to 15 threads per 1 cm. The textile from the barrow burials was made of woolen threads, was of high density and, accordingly, a higher quality. In addition, one of the fabric fragments found in the barrows was painted red, and probably was imported. Results. Almost all analyzed samples had a simple plain weave of 1/1. An exception was only a fragment of fabrics found near Mastyugino village, which had a rep weave of 1/3. The fineness of threads in fabrics varied, but, as a rule, was uniform over the entire length, which indicates a highly developed spinning process. The uniform distribution of weft and warp threads in the fabric structure, as well as using threads of different twist direction in one fabrics, shows developed weaving production. The analysis of other archaeological sources, as well as involving ethnographic data allows the authors of the article to assume parallel use of horizontal and vertical weaving looms in the Scythian time in the Middle Don.

Full textAbstract:
This contribution presents in the first place an analysis and interpretation of all implements and tools possibly related to textile production that were recovered in the East Gate area at Midea during the Greek-Swedish excavation campaigns between 2000 and 2009. Secondly, with the help of comparative evidence from other zones on the citadel of Midea and also from other Mycenaean sites, it is argued that at least one multifunctional unit, where textile manufacture was also carried out, might have existed in the East Gate area. It is also suggested that this textile production comprised fine quality products to a significant extent. Finally, referring to signalling theory it is proposed that the fabrics possibly manufactured in the citadel served as means for the local community or élite to partake in the socio-cultural and political competition which seems to characterize Mycenaean society in general.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper has shown that the three-dimensional hollow weaving technique enables to produce a textile pressure sensor in one continuous process. Based on the multilayer fabric principle, the hollow woven fabrics can be created by connecting adjacent layers of the fabrics according to certain rules. The appropriate fabric structure has been selected and the three-layer weaving technique was used to make the textile pressure switch. The fabric structure is selected to ensure that the top and bottom layers are kept at a distance from each other. The electrically conductive tracks were embedded in the hollow structure of the fabric in bottom and middle layers. Three conditions must be fulfilled in order to create the textile switch: a) the fabric in normal condition keeps the shape required, i.e. the conductive elements are physically separated from each other; b) when the fabric is pressed, conductive elements are in contact, i.e. the switch is now in an electrically on state; c) after the pressure has been removed the fabric returns to its original position, i.e. switch is in an electrically off state. The behavior of the electrically conductive yarn and conductive tracks were tested in various ways. The stainless steel yarn woven in particular way can be used to create woven conductive tracks. Example of application: the pressure sensitive woven rug, the whole area or part of which acts as the pressure sensor or simple switch. The pressure switch in the floor coverings can turn on alarm systems or indicator lamps in the floor or wall coverings for guidance systems in public buildings.

Full textAbstract:
This work presents a new multilayered microfluidic platform, manufactured using a rapid and cost-effective xurography technique, for the detection of drug concentrations in sweat. Textile fabrics made of cotton and polyester were used as a component of the platform, and they were positioned in the middle of the microfluidic device. In order to obtain a highly conductive textile, the fabrics were in situ coated with different amounts of polyaniline and titanium dioxide nanocomposite. This portable microfluidic platform comprises at least three layers of optically transparent and flexible PVC foils which were stacked one on top of the other. Electrical contacts were provided from the edge of the textile material when a microfluidic variable resistor was actually created. The platform was tested in plain artificial sweat and in artificial sweat with a dissolved cytostatic test drug, cyclophosphamide, of different concentrations. The proposed microfluidic device decreased in resistance when the sweat was applied. In addition, it could successfully detect different concentrations of cytostatic medication in the sweat, which could make it a very useful tool for simple, reliable, and fast diagnostics.

Full textAbstract:
Textiles produced in the leading weavers’ centres of the Orient and used in Poland during the Middle Ages make an interesting and valuable complex. They were imported mainly for liturgical vestments but also for decoration of chapels and secular interiors. Richly and uniquely designed, woven in specialized workshops from silk with large amount of gold, they demonstrated prestige and taste of the ecclesiastical and secular elites. Eastern textiles in Polish collections may be combined in separate groups. The first group, perhaps the most uniform in style and technique, comprises textiles whose origin is attributed to the workshops in Cyprus and Cairo, active under the Mamluc Sultanate (1250–1517), especially in the period 1250–1382. The second group are the textile produced in Constantinople or Brusa before 1449. Another group comprises paraments made of textiles whose pattern includes a rhythmically repeated Arabic inscription stored at National Museum in Gdańsk and coming from the store of the St Mary’s Church in Gdańsk, produced in workshops of northern Persia around the middle of the 14th century.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the latest developments in the textile archaeology of Greece and the broader Aegean from the Neolithic through to the Roman period, focusing in particular on recent research on textile tools. Spindle-whorls and loomweights appeared in the Aegean during the Neolithic and by the Early Bronze Age weaving on the warp-weighted loom was well established across the region. Recent methodological advances allow the use of the physical characteristics of tools to estimate the quality of the yarns and textiles produced, even in the absence of extant fabrics. The shapes of spindle-whorls evolved with the introduction of wool fibre, which by the Middle Bronze Age had become the dominant textile raw material in the region. The spread of discoid loomweights from Crete to the wider Aegean has been linked to the wider Minoanization of the area during the Middle Bronze Age, as well as the mobility of weavers. Broader issues discussed in connection with textile production include urbanization, the spread of different textile cultures and the identification of specific practices (sealing) and previously unrecognized technologies (splicing), as well as the value of textiles enhanced by a variety of decorative techniques and purple dyeing.

Full textAbstract:
Aquesta tesi s’emmarca en un projecte de majors proporcions encapçalat per la redacció del Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae, que analitza les manifestacions romàniques en la documentació llatina altomedieval conservada en els comtats situats al territori que posteriorment rebé el nom de Catalunya. En les nostres fonts s’hi inclouen sobretot testaments, llegats, acords i confirmacions de compra-venda. Quant als límits cronològics, els textos notarials objecte d’aquesta recerca se situen entre els anys 800 i 1150. El fet d’acotar la investigació a un àmbit tan present en les societats d’arreu, el vocabulari tèxtil, respon a la voluntat d’intentar observar la vida quotidiana de la societat de l’època. D’aquesta manera, a més d’una anàlisi purament filològica basada en l’estructura lèxica de la llengua continguda en els textos, s’obté una panoràmica social que si més no reflecteix certs aspectes de la realitat quotidiana dels individus que habitaven les nostres terres ara fa més de mil anys.
El corpus obtingut consta de 186 entrades i 24 subentrades que s’han distribuït en tres grans apartats: els draps laics, els draps eclesiàstics, i els tipus de teixits i materials de confecció. Finalment a mode d’apèndix s’hi ha afegit una última part, que inclou 27 ètims, dedicada a les referències als colors i les provinences de les peces tractades.
Malgrat que en aquell temps encara s’estipulava que els documents oficials s’havien d’escriure en la llengua de cultura per excel•lència –el llatí–, la comunicació oral ja havia mutat cap a un parlar divers que més endavant, en aquest territori concret, es coneixeria amb el nom de català. Així doncs, la traça lingüística de l’escrivent jugava un paper decisiu en la redacció de qualsevol document, ja que era ell qui decidia com transcrivia en llatí un afer que s’havia donat, per via oral, en un parlar romànic. D’aquí que en els textos sovint hi apareguin mots amb una marcada empremta romànica, així com oscil•lacions de caràcter divers. Molts termes, a més, apareixen escrits sota múltiples formes, ja que l’escriba sovint vacil.lava a l’hora reproduir mots en la majoria de les ocasions només vius en la parla oral. D’altra banda, el sistema de casos del llatí, així com la formació del nombre i el gènere, són testimoni d’un procés de reestructuració, segurament fruit dels minvats coneixements lingüístics dels escribes i els seus intents d’adaptar el parlar popular a la llengua de cultura.
Mitjançant l’anàlisi dels vestits, els draps o els teixits podem percebre certes influències culturals provinents d’altres pobles, que segurament repercutiren també en la resta d’àmbits vitals. En aquest sentit cal destacar el fet que, malgrat que la gran majoria dels mots presenten una clara ascendència llatina, l’empremta de l’àrab o el germànic no hi és pas absent. El primer enriquí el vocabulari de l’època amb designacions de teles i vestits importats de la Hispània musulmana; el segon ens aportà nombrosos termes vinculats a la indumentària i a la confecció tèxtil provinents del contacte que les guarnicions establertes al limes i el seu seguici mantingueren amb la població germànica.
Al llarg d’aquesta recerca s’ha pogut comprovar que, si bé la majoria de les veus es revelen comunes als territoris romànics, determinats mots constitueixen innovacions pròpies de la nostra regió. D’altres, més enllà del domini lingüístic català, abarquen la totalitat de la península Ibèrica.
D’altra banda, en aquest moment d’impàs tant lingüistic com cultural, econòmic i social, es pot apreciar el gran canvi que suposà el tombant del segle XI, punt d’inflexió en la trajectòria d’una societat marcada per l’evolució econòmica d’una noblesa assedegada d’ostentació. Comparat amb el segle X, al segle XI el panorama havia canviat radicalment. Les classes benestants i les jerarquies eclesiàstiques es començaren a preocupar per l’ornamentació, aviat present tant en el parament de la llar i de l’església com en la indumentària.This PhD thesisl is closely related to a much bigger project leaded by the Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae, which analyzes the romance traces contained in the huge Latin early medieval documental collections kept in many Catalan archives. Our documental sources are basically wills, donations, agreements and buying and selling contracts written between 800 and 1150. This is not only a philological research based on the structure of the language contained in the texts, but also an attempt to look at the daily life of all kinds of people living in our region through their clothes and fabrics. Our corpus has 186 entries and 24 subentries distributed in three large groups: lay clothes and fabrics, ecclesiastical clothes and fabrics, and materials. On the other hand, there is an appendix at the end of this thesis on the very few references to colours and origin of the garments. This part has 27 entries. Through the analysis of the garments and fabrics one realizes influences of many cultures on the Catalan one. Although most of the words have a clear Latin origin, the Arabic and German traces are also present. The first one contributed with fabric designations and clothes imported from Al-Andalus, while the second one provided us with textile and dressmaking vocabulary.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation tells the tale of al-Mahalla al-Kubra during the transition from handloom crafts to the mechanized textile industry and from a local community to a battleground for the nationalist cause in the first half of the twentieth century. By exploring the relationships between culture, politics, and modern industrialization and how subaltern groups shaped their local experiences of modernity in a setting remote from the central government and the cosmopolitan culture of Cairo and Alexandria, it unpacks the social history of men and women, artisans and workers, notables and fitiwwat who were situated between national capitalism and foreign domination. The goal is to write the history of the society from the bottom up and to write a history that is an alternative to the already established histories of nationalism and colonialism. It provides a historical reconstruction and analysis of the process of assimilation undergone by the recruited peasants into urban industrial life and explores the various ways in which they and the Mahallawiyya negotiated living together and dealt with their mutual hostility on an everyday basis. Identity is the core question in this process of assimilation. Did modern, horizontal class relations actually replace traditional, vertical communal and patronage relations? To what extent did the traditional social institutions help or hinder the process of adapting to forms of social life associated with modern industry? I argue that both vertical class and horizontal communal relations co-existed and sometimes competed. In that fluid dynamic, individuals and groups acted and interacted depending on their socio-economic status, communal commitments, conjuncture or the way that a given situation developed, and a shared, often contested, discourse.text

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAs it is known, the global phenomenon of rising temperatures causes uncomfortable and often harmful conditions for human beings living in moderate-climate zones, such as the Mediterranean area, especially in the hottest periods. Examinations of metropolitan cities can witness that high temperatures generate Urban Heat Island (UHI), due to population, buildings, vehicles and human activities in general. With the increase of rising temperatures in the latest decades, people living in big cities have gotten used to tackling heat discomfort with electricity charged cooling systems. As a result, the energy consumption for air-conditioning causes UHIs’ effects to further grow. It is scientifically confirmed that the behavioral habit of relying on artificially generated cold whenever temperatures rise will eventually make the climate crisis more problematic in the near future. Energy communities are used to producing, storing and consuming energy on site; therefore, power sources must be in close proximity to users. Albeit neglected in the Modern Era, the most proximate and sustainable energy supply is directly available to us: sunlight. The origin of hot temperatures, discomfort and energy waste is, indeed, the most exploitable power generator men can access to. In Southern Europe or Middle East cities, the use of veils as urban-scale shading devices is part of the consolidated tradition; a well-known example can be found in the Spanish city of Sevilla, where textile curtains named “Sevillans” are stretched between buildings. At the present time, we’re witnessing that the climate mitigation action of shading systems can be pursued in combination with energy production, with the development of membrane integrated flexible photovoltaic cells (PV). Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, designed by the Foster Studio, or the Solar trees of the German pavilion at EXPO 2015 in Milan and the Promenade of the EXPO 2021 in Dubai are some innovative yet relevant cases. The use of PV cells for sun-shielding purposes is optimal to respond to a double-sided problem with a single object. Manufacturing an adaptive velario using composite fibers (i-Mesh), could both allow us to design the shape and modulate the density of integrated PV cells as needed. Method: To identify the best position for the adaptive tensile canopies, it is necessary to superimpose different site-specific data: temperatures in the urban area, in particular close to buildings; surfaces that receive most of the daytime radiation; sunlight and ventilation. To develop the most suitable solutions to many environmental scenarios, three-dimensional simulations performed with virtual models must be used both at urban (Envimet) and at building scale (in-Sight). Expected results: An algorithm capable of determining the “Velari” best position and the proper shading/density factor. A model, applied to a case study in Rome, to serve an evaluation of the benefits of this technology in terms of decreasing surface temperatures of external horizontal and vertical surfaces of buildings and streets.

Full textAbstract:
Old Van is located approximately 5 km west of the current city settlement, east of Lake Van. The city, which was the capital of the Urartian civilization, was used uninterruptedly until the beginning of the 20th century, and then became abandoned and ruined. Most of the architectural structures known today in the city, where many cultures left their mark, belong to the Middle Ages and Ottoman periods. The city has an intertwined and congested architectural texture shaped around the main roads running east-west and north-south and the narrow streets connecting to these roads. When city photographs taken at the beginning of the 20th century are examined, it is seen that the urban texture of Van consists of adjacent mud brick buildings, except for a few monumental buildings with stone architecture. Past research on Old Van has largely focused on the city’s archaeological phases before Christ. The first systematic excavation work in Old Van was carried out in the Ulu Mosque by Oktay Aslanapa between 1970 and 1972. The project, which was launched in 2022 regarding Old Van, aims to transform the city into a holistic cultural value. Within the scope of the project, which includes excavation, conservation, restoration, reconstruction, re-functioning and landscaping works, to make correct scientific interventions to the architectural structures that have survived to the present day within the urban fabric; It is aimed to obtain findings about the cultural history of the region through archaeological excavations and to revitalize the society’s perception of Old Van. In the excavations carried out in 2022 with the official permission of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the southern inner wall and the original road network of the city were studied. The inner wall displays a stronger architecture than the outer wall, with its adobe-filled and stone-covered structure. The outer wall has not survived to the present day. It has been understood that the walls have been subjected to a lot of intervention due to their role in defending the city throughout history. While the location of the circular and quadrangular bastions on the walls, which had to be constantly renewed, were clearly determined through excavations, some new data was also obtained about the entrance gates through which the city was entered. The need for new building types in the 19th century caused the architectural texture to extend beyond the city walls. The tight texture within the city resulted in the construction of small spaces even at the base of the city walls. It has been determined that the spaces created with adobe architecture were functional for civilian life and military purposes. While some findings indicating a blacksmith workshop were associated with civilian commercial life, traces of attack, fire and burnt documents found in a place unearthed near the Aziziye Barracks at the western end of the city revealed new thoughts that this place could be a document recording and storage unit. During the studies, groups of finds were encountered, most of which date back to the Ottoman period. Most of these are glazed and unglazed ceramic pieces that represent examples of daily use items of the civilian population.

Full textAbstract:
Turkey has advantage of lying on transection of three climatic zones. Namely Europe-Siberia, Iran- Turan and the Mediterranean region situated between 26 and 45° east longitude and 36–42° north latitude in the Northern hemisphere. The number of plant species subspecies, taxa and varieties in Flora of Turkey is above 12,000. In terms of plant diversity in the temperate zone, it attracts attention with its features that are different from the neighbouring countries around it in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. This has led to the development of many distinct ethno-medicinal-botanical habits among local people; who use different plant parts like roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, herbs, seeds, etc. in their cuisines, natural dyeing, decoration, textile dyeing and medicinal purposes, etc. This study reviews ethnomedicinal and botanic uses of the 196 taxa belonging to 54 families and 113 genera grown in Turkey.

Full textAbstract:
Although sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium were isolated as the chemical elements by Sir Humphry Davy for the first time at the beginning of the 19th century, alkali salts and hydroxides have been widely known and used since the very ancient time. The word “alcali” & “alkali” was borrowed in the 14th century by literary Roman-Germanic languages from Arabic al-qalī, al-qâly ou al-qalawi (), which means “calcinated ashes” of saltwort plants. These ashes are characterized nowadays as mildly basic. They have been widely used in therapy, cosmetics, and pharmacy in Mediaeval Europe and the Middle East. However, the consumption of these alkali containing ashes, as well as natron salts and calcined lime-based materials used for different customer purposes, like therapy, pharmacy, cosmetics, glass making, textile treating, dyes, brick making, binding materials, etc., was commonly known since the very ancient times. The current review of the archeological, historical, and technological data provides the readers with the scope of the different everyday life applications of alkali and alkali-earth salts and hydroxides from ancient times till nowadays. The review obviously reveals that many modern chemical manufacturing processes using alkali and alkali-earth salts and hydroxides have a very ancient history. In contrast, there has been a similarity of targets for implementing alkali and alkali-earth salts and hydroxides in everyday life, from the ancient past till the modern period. These processes are ceramic and glass making, binding materials in construction, textile treatment, metallurgy, etc. So, this review approves the common statement: “The Past is a clue for the Future.”

Silifke is a district of Mersin province, currently located in the Mediterranean Region. Silifke Castle is located in the south of the region called Rough Cilicia in history, on the west side of the city, on the route that provides passage from the Mediterranean coast to Central Anatolia, at the intersection of land and sea trade. Silifke Castle was built at a point overlooking all roads, controlling both the trade route and the port. After the Silifke Castle excavations (2011-2022); Four periods have been identified: Roman, Byzantine, Karamanid and Ottoman Periods. It is understood that Silifke Castle was built in the Roman Period, and that it took its final shape by adding the defensive moat around the castle, the B-1 entrance gate, the A-16 military place adjacent to the walls, the church, the chapel, and some of the public and civil buildings in the Byzantine Period. After Silifke Castle was conquered by the Karamanids, the church in the center of the castle was converted into a mosque as a symbol of the Conquest, and the walls, moat, fortress veil and the spaces inside the castle began to be shaped according to the needs of the Turks. During the Ottoman Period, the settlement pattern inside the castle took its final shape. Thus, the castle, which is an important element of the medieval Turkish urban fabric, shows itself in the Silifke castle settlement pattern with the general characteristic of Turkish-Islamic cities. The settlement structure inside the castle was renewed according to need during the Ottoman Period. Rough-cut masonry, which is the traditional masonry of the region and built without the use of mortar, was applied in the interior spaces of the castle. With the excavations, the texture of the settlement inside the castle; It has been determined that the residences and social buildings belonging to the administration in the west, the mosque and the commercial buildings developed around it in the middle, and the residences and social buildings belonging to the public and the military in the east. Excavation findings are one of the most important data in identifying the castle. Excavation findings provide us with a wide range of data, from the art environment to daily life and aesthetic tastes of the Roman, Byzantine, Karamanid and Ottoman periods. The majority of the findings reflect the Turkish- Islamic period, and how the settlement pattern developed in every area we work can be followed.Each piece, especially architectural plastics, ceramics, metal, glass, stone, bone and wooden findings, is of great importance to us. These findings allow us to establish a bond with the master who made the work and the person who used it, understand their practices, and share this with today’s people.It also tells us about the social taste of that period, the technology they used, the exchange and solidarity between societies or different tastes. After the Silifke Castle excavation (2011-2022); It has been revealed that the castle has been used since ancient times and continued its effectiveness in the Roman and Byzantine periods. From the architectural remains and small artifacts identified, it is understood that Silifke Castle was inhabited until the last times of the Karamanoğlu and Ottoman Periods. Thus, it was revealed that Silifke Castle is one of the rare ruins in Anatolia that display the castle-city feature of the Turkish period.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The evaluation of shale is complicated by the structurally heterogeneous nature of fine-grained strata and their intricate pore networks, which are interdependent on many geologic factors including total organic carbon (TOC) content, mineralogy, maturity and grain-size. The ultra-low permeability of the shale rock requires massive hydraulic fracturing to enhance connectivity and increase permeability for the flow. To design an effective fracturing technique, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the reservoir characteristics and fluid flow properties at multiple scales. In this work, representative core plug samples from a tight carbonate source rock in the Middle East were characterized at the core- and pore-scale levels using a Digital Rock Physics (DRP) workflow. The tight nature of the carbonate rocks prevented the use of conventional methods in measuring special core analysis (SCAL) data. Two-dimensional Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and three-dimensional Focused Ion Beam (FIB)-SEM analysis were studied to characterize the organic matter content in the samples together with (organic and inorganic) porosity and matrix permeability. The FIB-SEM images in 3D were also used to determine petrophysical and fluid flow (SCAL) properties in primary drainage and imbibition modes. A clear trend was observed between porosity and permeability related to identified rock fabrics and organic matter in the core. The organic matter was found to have an effect on the imbibition two-phase flow relative permeability and capillary pressure behavior and hysteresis trends among the analyzed samples. The data obtained from DRP provided information that can enhance the understanding of the pore systems and fluid flow properties in tight formations, which cannot be derived accurately using conventional methods.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Barremian-Aptian, Kharaib Formation is among the main reservoir units in the Middle-East. The Kharaib Formation is broadly divisible into three main zones: the Upper, Middle and Lower Kharaib, which are defined based on their distinct sedimentological characteristics. The Kharaib interval has been extensively studied across the region; however, the inherent heterogeneity associated with sediments always makes it challenging for interpretation of the depositional facies, stratal geometries, and the prediction of their reservoir properties. This study focuses on the Middle and Upper Kharaib by integrating sedimentological, diagenetic, and pore-scale datasets to provide a better understanding of the depositional framework, diagenesis and its effects on the reservoir properties. Dunham/Embry & Klovan classification (1971) scheme is used to describe the sediments, which determines lithofacies. Lithofacies that are genetically relatable are grouped into larger sets of associations. The lithofacies association represent their sedimentary environments of deposition. The grouping/stacking pattern of the sediments reflects a broad third-order sequence. Higher-order variations/sequences are either from localized topographical changes or energy variations or from sea-level changes, which thereby imparts lateral reservoir heterogeneity. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis defines the mineralogical composition, whereas pore-scale fabric/textural characteristics have been defined via conventional light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Sedimentological description of the Kharaib Formation showed varying textures ranging from mudstone to grain-rich floatstone, which are interpreted to be deposited in a broad homoclinal ramp setting. Petrographic evaluation of the sediments from the studied section highlighted the effects of diagenesis on reservoir properties with calcite cementation significantly reducing the reservoir quality (i.e., lower porosity and permeability). In contrast considerable micro and macropore enhancement due to secondary dissolution appears to negate the effects of cementation. In the studied sediments, the porosity comprises considerable abundance of primary and secondary macropores. The measured porosity varies from moderate to very good, while permeability is low to moderately high. Interrogation of conventional core analysis data establishes that the primary control on reservoir quality distribution is sediment texture and composition. The genetically distinct characteristics of lithofacies related to allochem assemblage, their abundance and size aid in defining the associations, which thereby provides the former fabric for the subsequent diagenetic alterations. The abundance of detrital clays in the middle Kharaib appears to be the primary cause of relatively poor reservoir quality. This study shows that both the original depositional texture/composition and diagenesis have had an important impact on shaping reservoir properties. This integrated approach sheds light on the sedimentological make-up, depositional setting, and diagenetic overprint of the Kharaib Formation and their effect on the reservoir quality of various lithofacies. This understanding will further develop work related to pattern prediction of the Kharaib Formation, which may be extrapolated to uncored intervals for reservoir quality correlation and assessment.

Full textAbstract:
The conservation and restoration of archaeological woven fabrics are faced with many practical challenges. In case of damask fabrics, besides the identification of structural characteristics of the woven fabric, one of these challenges is referred to the reconstruction of the ornamental depiction. In the attempt to obtain a better correlation between the structural characteristics and ornamental depiction of damask fabrics, the traditional working techniques are based too much on subjectivity of archaeological understanding and interpreting of the textile conservator-restorer. The digital techniques can create a scaled unit of repeat of damask design and can simulate ultra realist the damask fabric, thus saving time, money, effort and other valuable resources. The paper presents the results of research on one monochrome silk damask woven in Italy from about the 16-17th centuries. The large scale of the pattern, richly ornamented with stylized vegetal motifs which show the Far East influence, was used extensively for home textiles, especially for curtains and wallpapers, but as well in fashion clothes. A detailed photographic documentation of the damask fragments was made for the stage of reconstruction of scaled unit of repeat. For this purpose was used a graphic art software to obtain the motifs configurations, which then, like the pieces of a puzzle, have been arranged in the damask repeat pattern. In order to simulate the damask fabric were used the programs ArahPaint and ArahWeave of integrated software Arahne CAD/CAM for weaving. At the beginning, the damask repeat pattern was designed and saved in ArahPaint program. To create the two-dimensional simulation of woven fabric, the damask repeat pattern was imported in the Jacquard conversion window of ArahWeave program and have been introduced all structural characteristics of the fabric, previously determined by using non-destructive methods of evaluation. This paper aims to draw attention to the digital reconstruction of archaeological woven fabric not only as a method for the dissemination of research findings, but further, as a viable possibility to be woven.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Objectives/Scope: The late Callovian to early Kimmeridigian deposited Tuwaiq Mountain, Hanifa and Jubaila Formations are among the most prolific source rocks in the middle east. These sediments have recently been considered as potential unconventional gas reservoir in UAE. This study integrates sedimentological, structural, geochemical and pore-scale datasets to provide a better understanding of the depositional framework and its effects on the reservoir properties. Methods, Procedures, Process: Dunham Classification (1962) which was later modified by Embry & Klovan (1971) is the basis of the descriptive lithofacies scheme used to characterize the organic-rich carbonate sediments. The association of these classified lithofacies based on their genetic relationship reflects their corresponding depositional environments. Petrographical and geochemical assessment including Rock-Eval pyrolysis were performed on selected samples. Mineralogical assessment was performed via whole-rock and clay-fraction XRD analysis, whereas pore-scale fabric/textural investigations were performed via conventional transmitted light microscopy and SEM using backscattered electron mode BS-SEM. Results, Observations, Conclusions: Sedimentological characterization of mud-dominated carbonate sediments indicates that they accumulated in a clastic starved, intrashelf basinal setting. The lack of textural variation is observed, highlighted by the dominance of mudstones noted across the Tuwaiq Mountain Fm., Hanifa and Jubaila Formations. Wackestones are the second most abundant texture observed. Wacke-packstones and packstones are rare but are present in the Tuwaiq Mountain Formation. also dominated by mudstone textures show presence of wackestones in form of thin beds. The occurrences of planktonic foraminifera along with thin shelled bivalves further emphasizes the low-energy, distal depositional setting. A quantitative description of the nature, density, and trends of the fracture network highlights the tectonic and structural history of the sediments. A certain degree of brittleness is associated with the organic-rich sediments, which is evident from the mineralogical analysis showing the abundance of calcite (>82%). Rock-Eval data revealed high TOC content of the sediments. An evaluation of the HI and Tmax indicates that the sediments are dominantly gas prone (HI<150mg HC/g TOC). Based on the calculated reflectance data (Ro: 0.06-3.30), the sediments display varied levels of thermal maturity, from immature to over mature. The vitrinite reflectance equivalent (%VRE) values assessed from microscopic investigations a range between 1.24-1.64, with the lower values suggesting late maturity with wet (condensate) gas generation and the higher values suggesting post maturity with dry gas generation. The TOC and TRA data highlight that the organic-rich, laminated mudstones associated with the Hanifa and Tuwaiq Mountain Formations have the highest TOC values (up to 4.25wt%) and the highest bulk volume (up to 3.39 %BV). It is also noted that the petroleum storage potential in these sediments largely resides with the mineral matrix pores along with the porosity hosted by the organic matter, which has been assessed by BS-SEM analysis. Novel/Additive Information: This integrated approach sheds light on the development of unconventional gas reservoirs. In addition, this study shows how the changes in depositional environment may have controlled the organic matter preservation. For a plausible way forward, this current understanding may be extrapolated to uncored intervals for representativeness.

Abstract The Early Cretaceous Kharaib Formation is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs in the Middle East. Based on sedimentary characteristics, the Kharaib Formation is divided into three main intervals/zones: the lower, middle and upper Kharaib. Interpretation of the depositional fabrics and prediction of reservoir parameters is often difficult due to the Kharaib Formation's diverse array of sedimentary characteristics. To address the considerable heterogeneity of the Kharaib Formation, this study investigates depositional characteristics and the diagenetic impact on reservoir quality within the Sajaa Field. The Kharaib Formation sediments were characterized using a Dunham/Embry & Klovan (1971) defined classification scheme. Analytical techniques via thin section analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and capillary pressure data were used to qualitatively and semi-quantitatively assess porosity and the diagenetic processes involved in its evolution. Key reservoir quality parameters for Kharaib intervals were defined by combining petrographic analysis and conventional core methods. The sedimentological characterization of the Kharaib sediments in the Sajaa Field showed a range of Orbitolina-bearing carbonate textures, which were interpreted as inner-ramp deposits. The stacking pattern of the depositional facies showed intermediate-order trends. The conventional core analysis measurements showed poor to good reservoir properties with porosity values of 0.7 – 23.2% and permeability values from negligible to 2 – 3 md. The pore system is dominated by grains and matrix-hosted micropores, which are primarily generated via diagenesis. Qualitative thin section analysis identified grain-hosted micropores as the most significant microporosity type, highlighting that grain-rich textures are relatively more porous compared to mud-rich textures. Diagenesis transformed both the matrix and various grain types (e.g., micritized grains, foraminifera etc.), generating considerable micropore volume. High resolution SEM imaging, along with semi-quantitative assessment, highlighted that diagenetic modification of the micritic sediments led to an abundance of sub-rounded to polyhedral crystals exhibiting primarily sub-punctic to punctic intercrystalline contacts that generated a porous fabric. Mercury injected capillary pressure (MICP) data, confirmed the abundance of micropores within the pore size distributions of studied samples. This study demonstrates the importance of considering textural variation within the Kharaib Formation when assessing the reservoir coupled with the fractured nature of the unit. The established microporosity-depositional relationships when combined with the updated core descriptions now allow for the integration of textural trend information in the field that can be applied to refine reservoir property and abundance distributions.
