    A Lower Paleolithic assemblage from western Anatolia: the lithics from Bozyer

    In 2005 the Central Lydia Archaeological Survey (CLAS) identified an open-air Lower Paleolithic site called Bozyer near Lake Marmara in the province of Manisa, Turkey. Intensive survey of Bozyer in 2008 resulted in collection of over 300 stone tools. Subsequent systematic analysis attributed 189 of these lithics to a Lower Paleolithic industry. The assemblage is characterized by flakes and retouched flake tools, many of which were produced with the bipolar flaking technique; preferential use of locally available quartz and quartzite over chert; a low proportion of cores, most of which were reused as choppers and chopping tools; and the absence of bifaces and other large cutting tools. With few exceptions, similar assemblages are rare in Anatolia, and comparable industries from Eurasia and the Near East date to the Early Pleistocene period. The lithic industry from Bozyer thus joins other nearby sites in evidencing some of the earliest hominin activities outside Africa, shedding new light on growing understandings of Lower Paleolithic technology, mobility, and activities in Anatolia.

    Heritage and scent: research and exhibition of Istanbul's changing smellscapes
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2017) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Davis, Lauren Nicole; Şenocak, Lucienne; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 100679
    This paper examines heritage, and particularly intangible heritage, by concentrating on the experience of smell to explore a heritage site in Istanbul, Turkey: the Spice Market. Due to a restoration project, the site became the focus of the 2012 international workshop Urban Cultural Heritage and Creative Practice,' which aimed at documenting the existing and threatened scents of the marketplace. in 2016 a gallery exhibition, Scent and the City,' was created as part of an effort to raise awareness about how scent constitutes an important component of the heritage of place. after providing a brief overview of the marketplace's transformations since its construction in the seventeenthcentury, this paper covers various methods of scent research, including scent walks, mapping, oral history interviews, and artistic performances, and illustrates how the smellscapes of this historic, and now touristic, quarter of Istanbul are changing. By bringing a sensory approach to this important heritage site in Istanbul we demonstrate how an embodied approach, which forefronts scent as intangible heritage and a primary modality, can serve as a catalyst for individuals and communities to access their memories, emotions, and values and increase awareness of the role scent plays in defining locality.
