Özet

Hasankeyf is a town located along the Tigris River in the Batman Province in Southeastern Turkey. The tomb of Zeynel Bey ruled shortly over Hasankeyf-a rare example of its kind in Anatolia. We measured GPR data inside and around of the tomb of the Zeynel Bey to research buried archaeological remains. We imaged the results with interactive transparent 3D visualization and located archaeological remains with depth range. We determined the base structure and diffraction anomaly groups coming from a cemetery. Excavation in the tomb and around of it encouraged the new 3D image results and found a cemetery in the tomb. © 2009 IEEE.
