    Born-digital logistics: impacts of 3D recording on archaeological workflow, training, and interpretation
    (De Gruyter Open, 2021) Scott, Catherine B.; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Roosevelt, Christopher Havemeyer; Roosevelt, Christina Marie Luke; Nobles, Gary; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 235115; 235112; N/A
    Digital technologies have been at the heart of fieldwork at the Kaymakçı Archaeological Project (KAP) since its beginning in 2014. All data on this excavation are born-digital, from textual, photographic, and videographic descriptions of contexts and objects in a database and excavation journals to 2D plans and profiles as well as 3D volumetric recording of contexts. The integration of structure from motion (SfM) modeling and its various products has had an especially strong impact on how project participants interact with the archaeological record during and after excavation. While this technology opens up many new possibilities for data recording, analysis, and presentation, it can also present challenges when the requirements of the recording system come into conflict with an archaeologist's training and experience. Here, we consider the benefits and costs of KAP's volumetric recording system. We explore the ways that recording protocols for image-based modeling change how archaeologists see and manage excavation areas and how the products of this recording system are revolutionizing our interaction with the (digital) archaeological record. We also share some preliminary plans for how we intend to expand this work in the future.

    Reading social change on a potter's wheel: Chalcis (Euboea) from the Byzantine to the Modern Greek era
    (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2021) Skartsis, Stefania S.; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Kontogiannis, Nikolaos; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 258781
    In this article, the socio-economic and cultural identity of Chalcis is traced through, and combined with, the story of its material culture and, in particular, of its impressive pottery production and consumption. Through this lens, the historical conditions and daily life over more than ten centuries (from the ninth to the early twentieth century) of this relatively unknown provincial town are closely examined. This makes it possible to detect one field in which local communities reacted to, adjusted to, took advantage of, survived or sometimes succumbed to the wider turmoil of the Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek eras.

    Eunuchs and the city: residences and real estate owned by vourt eunuchs in late sixteenth-century Istanbul
    (Istanbul Research Institute, 2021) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Dikici, Ayşe Ezgi; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities
    This article explores how the Ottoman court eunuchs engaged with the topography and population of Istanbul by examining the urban residences and other real estate endowed in the 1590s by four aghas representing different backgrounds and career tracks across the court eunuch spectrum. Using evidence gleaned from their endowment deeds and other documents, it attempts to reconstruct their immediate living environments and map their property ownership across the cityscape, reflecting on the spatial distribution and concentration areas of their real estate, the continuities and changes in their residential patterns, as well as how their career tracks, family members, friends, and other connections informed their proprietorship. / Bu makale, Osmanlı saray hadımlarının İstanbul’un topografyası ve nüfusuyla nasıl bir ilişki kurduğunu incelemek amacıyla, çeşitlilik gösteren bu grup içerisinde farklı köken ve kariyer geçmişlerini temsil eden dört ağanın 1590’larda vakfettiği şehir içi konutları ve diğer emlaki mercek altına alıyor. Ağaların vakfiyeleri ile diğer belgelerden elde edilen izleri takip ederek onların bizzat içinde yaşadıkları ortamı yeniden kurmaya ve edindikleri mülkleri şehir peyzajı üzerinde haritalandırmaya çalışıyor. Bunu yaparken de mülklerinin mekânsal dağılımı ve yoğunlaştığı alanlar ile ikamet örüntülerindeki süreklilik ve değişimlerüzerine düşünmeyi, bir yandan da meslek hayatlarının, aile üyelerinin, dostlarının ve diğer bağlarının, hadımların kendi mülkiyetleri üzerinde nasıl bir etkisi olduğunu anlamayı amaçlıyor.

    Anatolian pot marks in the 3rd Millennium BC: signage, early state formation, and organization of production
    (The Suna _ İnan Kıraç Research Center for Mediterranean Civilizations (AKMED) / Suna ve İnan Kıraç Akdeniz Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (AKMED), 2020) Hacar, Abdullah; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Yener, Kutlu Aslıhan; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    This study presents new information and interpretation of pot marks applied specifically on "Anatolian Metallic Ware" that are dated to the 3rd millennium BC, and distributed in the southern Konya Plain and the southwestern region of Cappadocia. While many specialists have studied this ware group, also referred to as "Darbogaz" vessels, detailed studies have not been conducted on the pot marks themselves. The finds from the Goltepe excavations, when combined with other research data and ethnographic/ethnoarchaeological records, have helped to classify and interpret this signage. According to our preliminary results, there is no relationship between the pot marks and vessel type, sub-ware group, or ownership. Taking into account the general characteristics of the Anatolian EBA and the production techniques of Anatolian Metallic Ware, we discuss whether the pot marks reflect quality control over the production process and serve interregional connectivity.

    Who owns the dead? legal and professional challenges facing human remains management in Turkey
    (Taylor _ Francis, 2022) Doğan, Elifgül; Joy, Jody; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Şenocak, Lucienne; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 100679
    The management of archaeological human remains poses numerous ethical and practical challenges for archaeologists and museum personnel throughout the world. While several countries have developed extensive legislation and guidelines to ensure best practice, Turkey has no specific laws concerning the management of archaeological human remains. The current heritage legislation defines all archaeological materials, including human remains, as state property, a position which makes engagement with stakeholders seeking shared ownership or repatriation of these remains problematic. In the absence of adequate legislation and professional guidelines, a wide range of ad hoc practices have developed among professionals whose dominance in decision-making processes leaves little room for inclusive museum management practices, such as stakeholder consultation, co-curation, the insurance of equal access to museums, and the promotion of human rights. Through a series of interviews with archaeologists and museum professionals, an online visitor survey with 780 participants, and on-site observations in four museums in Turkey, this article examines the existing management practices concerning archaeological human remains and sheds light on various professional biases that have discouraged effective community engagement with this issue in Turkey. This article is intended as a catalyst for further discussion about a topic which has been largely ignored in Turkey by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism (TMoCT), museum personnel, and archaeologists.

    Rock faces, opium and wine: speculations on the original viewing context of persianate manuscripts
    (De Gruyter, 2013) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Ergin, Nina Macaraig; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 52311
    One of the most delightful and interesting features of Islamic miniature painting in the Persian-speaking world is the appearance of hidden faces and figures in the background of compositions, which usually consist of rocky outcrops, tree roots or boulders. Scholars have provided different reasons for this feature, from narrative enhancement to the artists' creativity and imagination. Although accepting these reasons as valid, this paper proposes an additional raison d'etre - that is, the original viewing context of the majlis where wine and opium consumption were part of the entertainment, as both textual and visual evidence demonstrates. Based on first-hand accounts of users of psychoactive substances as well as psychological studies on their effect on creativity and visual perception, I argue that opium and wine consumption caused a perceptional shift that rendered the hidden figures even more entertaining than they would have been in a sober state of mind.

    A rescue excavation by the Directorate of the Kocaeli Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography was conducted between 2017 and 2019 in the area where the General Directorate of Izmit Water and Sewerage Administration is located. In the course of these excavations, a new necropolis area was discov-ered, including five in situ sarcophagi, 51 tile tombs, and two amphora tombs. Among them, four sarco-phagi bear funerary inscriptions dating from the Roman period. This paper presents two of these: 1) The tomb of Aurelius Sosianus Asklepiodotos and his family, 2) The tomb of Hermogenes. / : İzmit Su ve Kanalizasyon İdaresi Genel Müdürlüğü'nün bulunduğu alanda Kocaeli Arkeoloji ve Etnografya Müzesi Müdürlüğü tarafından 2017-2019 yılları arasında bir kurtarma kazısı yapıldı.
