Investigations on Human and Animal Remains From a medieval Shaft Well in Ayasuluk/Ephesos< (turkey)
(E Schweizerbartsche verlagsbuchhandlung, 2014) Kanzl, Fabian; Pfeiffer-Tas, Sule; Forstenpointner, Gerhard; Galik, Alfred; Weissengruber, Gerald; Grossschmidt, Karl; Risser, Daniele U.
In course of the archaeological survey of Ayasuluk/Ephesos region (Turkey), a shaft well situated at the area of an extensive medieval bathing complex was excavated. In the stratum corresponding to the reign Mehmed II the well-preserved skeletons of two humans, an equine and a canine were recovered. Anthropological analysis of the human skeletons indentified two males aged 22 (+/- 3) and 36 (+/- 5) years. The skeleton of the younger individual showed signs of various antemortal conditions, including a well-healed fraction of right arc of the fifth lumbar vertebra, and a marked asymmetry of the shoulder joints. The older individual exhibited significant peri/postmortem injuries at the elbows, with evident signs of peeling and external burning. Also, the few elements of the cranium recovered showed also indications of burning. Archaeozoological characterization of the complete skeletons of the equine and canine established evidence of well cared-for animals of high value. The time of disposal of this group coincides with uprising of the formerly ruling Aydnoullar clan against the Ottomans in power. The human individuals recovered from the well may have been members of Aydnoullar tribe or men in service of the latter, suffering severe torture and/or mutilation for siding with the rebels after defeat.
An Ottoman Unit of Currency in the 16th Century: Kara(ca) Akce
(Istanbul 29 Mayis Univ & Isam, 2021) Pfeiffer-Tas, Sule; Fine Arts and Elective Courses
The problem addressed in this research is to determine the currency, called kara(ca) akce in the documents, which the Ottoman state used in the east of Anatolia during the 16th century. Except for a brief reference by Sahillioglu, there is not much information about this akce. For this reason, whether kara(ca) akce was also an accounting coin and a currency in circulation along with the Osmani akce will be discussed. The value of the kara(ca) akce in the face of the Ottoman akce is found in various documents such as the Ottoman Laws, Seriyye Sicilleri and Mahimme Registry, together with current exchange prices against other currencies such as gold, kurus etc. When this information is evaluated chronologically within the framework of the developments in Ottoman monetary history, there is a relationship proportional to the weight of the Ottoman akce. In recent research on the Ottoman numismatics at the end of the 16th century, it was found that the official weight in some Eastern mints was' lower than that of Ottoman akce. These akces differ in stylistic terms from other mints defined as the Anatolian and Rumelia groups and are named the Fastern group. Especially in the Ottoman documents related to tax and trade, the existence of this currency, which is to lower than the exchange rate against the Osmani akce, is noteworthy. In this study, an attempt will be made to prove that this coin was not only a currency that determined the exchange rate, bur it was also in circulation.

The Becin Coin Hoard and Ottoman Monetary History in the Late 16th/Early 17th Century
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2013) Pfeiffer-Tas, Sule; Schindel, Nikolaus
It is generally accepted that debasement greatly contributed to the economic and consequently also social problems of the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th/early 17th century. The numismatic data derived from the Becin coin hoard, closing under sultan Ahmed (1603-1617) greatly challenges this view. Metal analysis has shown that only the overall weights of the coins were reduced; the fineness of silver remained unchanged at least until the 1610s.
