Erken Saka Dönemi Doğu Avrasya Coğrafyası Elit Kurganlarındaki Altın Giyim Kuşam Kompozisyonları -Tarbağatay ve Sarıarqa Buluntu Sahaları Örneğinde-

Abstract

The concept of golden habiliments composition refers to the skeletons found in the kurgans belonging to the elite in the Early Iron Age, who were dressed in gold-adorned clothing finds, gold accessories, and gold-plated weapons within the framework of a composition. The thesis analyses golden habiliments compositions from the Early Saka Period, dating between the 8th and 6th centuries BC. The general geographical scale that the study focuses on is the geography of Eastern Eurasia. Within this framework, the examples of golden habiliments composition found in the kurgans, which were not robbed, provided the general outlines of the concept. The specific geographical scale of focus is the Tarbagatai and Saryarka areas within the geography of Eastern Eurasia, referred to as the main finds. The reason for focussing on this area is that some of the golden habiliments compositions in this context have partially or completely disappeared due to robbery and wear and tear. This situation led to a decrease in the number of parts of the compositions, disruption of their integrity, and the inability to script them. These deficiencies were chosen as the problem that caused the thesis study. The study utilised auxiliary findings to fill these gaps. Auxiliary Find Group No. 1 consists of golden habiliments compositions found in non-robbed finds from Eastern Eurasia between the 8th and 6th centuries BC. Auxiliary Find Group No. 2 is the Saka reliefs created during the Achaemenid period in the geography of modern Iran. The first of the aims of the study, which is in a spiral relationship with each other, is to introduce the golden habiliments compositions encountered at the Tarbagatai and Saryarka find areas and to eliminate the deficiencies encountered in the explanation of these compositions. The second is to draw the framework of golden habiliments compositions found in non-robbed find environments on the scale of Eastern Eurasia. The third is to define the concept of golden habiliments composition and to determine its basic characteristics. In the study, "IMRDC" research design system was used to standardise the research method.
