Abstract
In this research, a total of 16 ram tombstones, including 6 ram headstones in the open-air museum of the Karakoyunlu district municipality, which is 15 km away from Iğdır, and 10 ram-head tombstones in the Kadim Çaybaşı Cemetery in Melekli town, 6 km away from the city center of Iğdır, has been studied. Since many of the tombstones have suffered various destructions over time, only those that have survived to the present day and are in readable condition have been identified and studies have been carried out on them. A total of 37 tombstones were identified during the field survey. Only 16 of these tombstones have been studied. The research started with a literature review in order to create a source for the study, then the ram-head tombstones in Iğdır and its surroundings were seen in person, the photographs of these tombstones were taken and their measurements were taken. In line with the available data, the tombstones were marked and read. As a result, the materials used in the construction of the ram headstones seen in and around Iğdır, the stamps, depictions and embroideries on the shaping techniques are documents that clearly show that they were created by the Turkish communities who settled in Anatolia and dominated these regions.
