Preliminary results of the analysis of coprolite material of a dog unearthed from the Van-Yoncatepe necropolis in Eastern Anatolia

Öz:

Bu çalışmada, M.Ö. 1. binyılı başlarına (erken demir çağı) tarihlendirilen Van-Yoncatepe kalesi nekropol'ünde ortaya çıkarılan M6 mezar odasında köpek iskelet kemikleri içerisinde bulunan koproiit materyali analiz sonuçları sunuldu. Bu amaçla mikrobiyolojik ve parazitolojik muayeneler ile biyokimyasal analizler yapıldı. Parazitolojik muayenede, kristalize olmuş parazit kanıtlarına rastlandı. Kristalizasyonun fazla olması nedeniyle paraziter kanıtların tam olarak ayrımı yapılamadı. Mikrobiyolojik incelemeler sonucunda her hangi bir etken izole edilmedi. Biokimyasal analiz olarak, glukoz, ürik asit, kolesterol, trigliserit, total protein, albumin, kalsiyum (Ca), fosfor (P), magnezyum (Mg) değerlerine bakıldı. Tüm bu işlemlerle, Yoncatepe köpeklerinin beslenme alışkanlıklarının belirlenmesine çalışıldı.

Öz:

This study presents the results of the analyses of the coprolite material found among the skeletal remains in M6, a burial Chamber discovered in the necropolis of the Van-Yoncatepe Castle, which dates back to the beginning of the 1st millennium BC (Early Iron Age). For this purpose, microbiological and parasitological examinations, as well as biochemical analyses have been carried out. Because the crystallisation values were so high, the parasite evidences could not been revealed. As a result of the microbiological examination, no micro-organisms were isolated. As for the biochemical analyses performed, the material was tested for glucose, uric acid, cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein, albumin, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg). Attempts were then made to ascertain the feeding habits of the Yoncatepe dogs.

Anahtar Kelime: dogs uric acid calcium albumins cholesterol microbiology parasitology glucose magnesium Van triacylglycerols East Anatolia Region
