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

<p><strong>Context</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Content</strong></p> <p>For each archaeological settlement, the data contains:</p> <ul> <li>active dates:</li> <li>geo spatial data which points to the town containing the settlement.</li> <li>information with respect to site type and its research status/methodology.<br> These are all contained in the file <code>taydata.json</code>.</li> </ul> <p>The associated <a href="https://www.kaggle.com/dkaane/data-extraction-protocol-for-iaasot">notebook</a> to this dataset gives how each file is produced.</p> <p>We give several important statistics with respect to regions, and cities of Turkey for the Iron Age.</p> <p>If you want to visualize the data on a map. You can use the <code>1200___330_bce_sites_of_turkey.umap</code> file.<br> Just download the file and visualize it on <a href="https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/">umap</a> or on <a href="https://www.kaggle.com/dkaane/framacarte.org/">framacarte</a></p> <p><strong>Acknowledgements</strong></p> <p>Without the immense effort of TAY Project and its researchers, this dataset would not be possible.</p>
