Descriptive Statistics and Town level Geospatial Distribution of Archaeological Settlements of Turkey in Iron Age (1200 –330 BCE)

Context

This dataset is a byproduct of my phd thesis. It combines the Archaeological Settlements of Turkey (TAY) Project data with geo spatial data obtained from openstreetmaps.

Content

For each archaeological settlement, the data contains:

• active dates:
• geo spatial data which points to the town containing the settlement.
• information with respect to site type and its research status/methodology.
  These are all contained in the file taydata.json.

The associated notebook to this dataset gives how each file is produced.

We give several important statistics with respect to regions, and cities of Turkey for the Iron Age.

If you want to visualize the data on a map. You can use the 1200___330_bce_sites_of_turkey.umap file.
Just download the file and visualize it on umap or on framacarte

Acknowledgements

Without the immense effort of TAY Project and its researchers, this dataset would not be possible.
