DOUBLE CAVE MAPS OF TURKEY Ali Yamaç OBRUK Cave Research Group; Acikhava Apt. 16/7, Nisantasi, Istanbul, Turkey, ayamac@gmail.com There can be several reasonable causes for mapp�ng a cave for a second t�me: E�ther there are new galler�es that are explored and the announcement of those explorat�ons are made w�th a new map, or the former map of a cave �s so erroneous that �t became essent�al to make a new survey. On the other hand, there can be a less reasonable, even a trag�com�c th�rd reason for mapp�ng a cave for a second t�me: Explor�ng the same cave w�thout be�ng aware of the fact that �t was actually explored and mapped before and, on the top of �t, mapp�ng �t aga�n! In Turkey, many double cave maps are drawn �n years for all three causes ment�oned above. In th�s poster; although the double maps drawn for the f�rst two causes are presented, the ma�n we�ght �s g�ven to the d�fferent maps of the same caves that are drawn w�thout be�ng aware of each other for many years. It �s an �nterest�ng fact that; of all the caves, T�naztepe, Yarımburgaz and Golcuk are re-explored and re-mapped not just tw�ce, but for four t�mes. You th�nk you may recall th�s poster from some other nat�onal and �nternat�onal congress' organ�zed over the years but, as the “plenty l�ttle �nattent�ons of cavers” cont�nues s�nce, �n every poster we are present�ng some new and d�fferent examples. 23 double map samples from a collect�on of 48 exh�b�ted �n th�s poster presentat�on and also, �n order not to make such funny m�stakes, the benef�ts of TAY Cave Inventory of Turkey (www.tayproject.org) �s clearly obv�ous.
Four d�fferent plans of Tınaztepe Cave. No comment! Ok, there was a huge gallery wh�ch Kaufmann m�ssed but what �s the explanat�on of d�fferences �n the shape of ma�n chamber? Someth�ng �s terr�bly wrong w�th G. Schm�tt's map at the r�ght s�de. W�th same scale and d�rect�on, h�s map �s completely d�fferent from Geospleos map Gökgöl �s 3350 m. So, congratulat�ons to both Trent Polytechn�c and MTA Dongel Cave; MTA 2008 on the left and our map on the r�ght. Poss�bly they sa�d "Oppss! We had m�ssed the gallery on the left".
Same cave, d�fferent names. MAD 1995 map on the left, BUMAK 2009 map on the r�ght. Lengths are 58 m and 101 m DEUMAK on the left, BUMAK on r�ght. Noth�ng to say. Just compare the "D"s wh�ch �s depth, can you bel�eve?
Sw�ndon's map on the left �s 10 years later than MAD's map. Northeast gallery suddenly becomes much longer.
It �s a long and d�ff�cult to survey cave but, anyhow, th�s can't be the f�nal output and bel�eve me, the�r scales are same
Left MTA, r�ght MAD. Noth�ng �s same, d�rect�ons, d�mens�ons, even the prof�les are d�fferent
MTA 1993 map on the left and Trent Polytechn�c 1978 map on the r�ght. Apart from some m�nor d�fferences �n two ma�n chambers, mostly correct surveys.
If you compare Ra�mond 1971 w�th MTA 1980, not only the d�rect�on but also all the deta�ls are wrong
Golcuk S�nkhole, near to ma�n road, easy to access. so everybody surveyed. Not only the prof�les, but also the total depths are d�fferent.
Names are d�fferent but you must bel�eve that they are the maps of same cave. Left BUMAK, r�ght MTA
Not easy to real�ze but, there are four d�fferent maps of Fasıh S�nkhole. Not only the plans but the�r prof�les are d�fferent.
Karakovuk; left MAD 2018, r�ght MTA 1984 maps. A very d�ff�cult cave w�th a length of 6630 m and two wonderful maps, MTA and Trent Polytechn�c
D�fferent names, same cave, top MTA, below BUMAK. So many errors �n such a small and traverse cave.
Left Değ�rmenc� 1989, r�ght Bakalow�cz 1968. Not bad for those s�ngle handed surveyors
Koca�n; on the left Morett�'s wonderful map of 1919 wh�ch he draw �n a s�ngle day. At the m�ddle C. Chabert's 1977 map and on the r�ght Chabert and OBRUK map
Sw�ndon 1992 on the left, MTA 1999 on the r�ght. Both lengths and depths are more or less same except the connect�on of left s�de gallery at the entrance.
MTA on the left and Değ�rmenc� on the r�ght. Not only the maps but the lenghts and depths are also same
Yarımburgaz Cave's maps are a cave map h�story of Turkey. On the left Hovasse's 1927 map, secondly 1930 map of the same cave by Racov�tea, th�rd map of the same cave belongs to E. G�ll� and J. P. Ma�teret.The f�nal map �s surveyed and drawn by BUMAK at 1985.
