Özet:

The method of storing the ice collected in the winter months and the compressed bread hanging in grasses and grains is estimated to be at least 3000 years old. It is clear that Turks have known how to hide it using snow and ice since Central Asia. Though the temperature values of the geographical areas in which they live are usually low, the Turks still need snow and ice to cool due to the increasing temperature in the summer months. In Western Asia, foods to be kept cold are protected by the help of snow and ice in mountains and natural ice cave. In Anadolu, in the Selçuklular period, ice was produced in the primary but still functional glaciers, food materials were stored with ice and, if necessary, their transfer was again made with ice. In this study, Turkey Selçukluları period foundations and resources and Ottoman period archive documents will be used to provide information about the glaciers located in Konya and the surrounding area and their characteristics.
