    A resilient landscape: the land walls of constantinople and their surroundings
    (Christian Archaeological Soc, 2018) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Ricci, Alessandra; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 41889
    The land walls of Constantinople, built in the early years of the 5th century, substantially reinforced the city's defenses while contributing to the creation of the capital's urban identity. This paper considers a rarely touched-upon subject, that of the usage of agricultural spaces within the land walls and their immediate vicinity. The presence of horticultural activities noted along present-day sections of the land walls represents the intangible memory of patterns of usage now traceable to the Late Antique period.

    Constantinople/Istanbul: a vortex of peoples and cultures: (324-1500)
    (Taylor and Francis, 2018) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Ergin, Nina Macaraig; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    I t has become a well-worn—if not unjustified—cliché to refer to Istanbul as a bridge between Asia and Europe, East and West, “Orient and Occident.” After all, the enormous city, which due primarily to rural-to-urban migration now counts more than fifteen million inhabitants, straddles the nineteen-odd-mile-long Bosphorus Strait that connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara (which in turn is connected to the Mediterranean by the Dardanelles Strait), each with its own climate and vegetation. The Bosphorus Bridge (built 1973) and the Mehmed the Conqueror Bridge (built 1989) enable trucks to transport goods between the two continents easily and swiftly as well as many residents to drive back and forth between the Asian and European parts daily on their way to and from work. Every year the greater municipality organizes the world’s only marathon race that takes runners from one continent to another via the Bosphorus Bridge. The city’s topographical characteristic and the resulting geopolitical 112importance have become significant identity markers for Istanbul and, by extension, for the country as a whole.

    Divided spaces, contested pasts: the heritage of the gallipoli peninsula
    (Taylor and Francis, 2018) 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 Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey was the site of one of the most tragic and memorable battles of the twentieth century, with the Turks fighting the ANZAC (Australian New Zealand Army Corps) and soldiers from fifteen other countries. This book explores the history of its landscape, its people, and its heritage, from the day that the defeated Allied troops of World War One evacuated the peninsula in January 1916 to the present. It examines how the wartime heritage of this region, both tangible and intangible, is currently being redefined by the Turkish state to bring more of a faith-based approach to the secularist narratives about the origins of the country. It provides a timely and fascinating look at what has happened in the last century to a landscape that was devastated and emptied of its inhabitants at the end of World War One, how it recovered, and why this geography continues to be a site of contested heritage. This book will be a key text for scholars of cultural and historical geography, Ottoman and World War One archaeology, architectural history, commemorative and conflict studies, European military history, critical heritage studies, politics, and international relations.

    Developing Petra: UNESCO, the World Bank, and America in the desert
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021) Meskell, Lynn; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Roosevelt, Christina Marie Luke; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 235112
    This article charts the nascent development agendas for archaeological heritage and tourism at Petra in Jordan. We begin with the early internationalism of UNESCO and its participation programme for Petra followed by the restructuring of American foreign policy interests to embed heritage tourism within USAID projects. A technocratic tourism-as-assistance model galvanised USAID and the World Bank’s interest in Petra, as it did the CIA, the American Schools of Oriental Research, the US National Park Service, and Jordan’s Department of Antiquities. Thus, we reveal how saving Petra was underwritten by an increasing American vigilance in the Middle East. Unlike the educational and humanitarian components of the United Nations programme, the USAID and World Bank initiatives at Petra were almost exclusively directed toward tourism development, generating hard-currency revenue, monetising the Nabataean ruins, and sowing the seeds of predatory capitalism. Our longitudinal study reveals that what has been sustained at Petra is not the preservation of heritage, nor support for local communities, but rather an overburden of international bureaucracy and consultancy culture.

    From post-lgm to holocene evolution of environments in the Ereğli basın: first results from geological indicators
    (Niğde Ömer Halis Demir Üniversitesi, 2018) Kuzucuoğlu, Catherine; Demir, Müslüm; Gürel, Ali; Dumoulin, Jean Pascal; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Maner, Çiğdem; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 104427
    During 2016-2018, three cores were retrieved from marshy areas in the Ereğli eastern at one locations positioned in the outer rim of the Upper Pleistocene alluvial fan of the Zanopa river (Konya Province). The first one (KAR) are from the Adabağ marsh which has developed in the shadow of a tombolo sand bar pertaining to the LGM Konya Paleolake system. This bar is dated to the LGM or Late Glacial. This one cores delivered complementary sequences representing two distinct part of the marsh today: (a) ADA is from a dry part of the marsh close to the sand bar; (b) BAG is from a still wet part of the marsh close to the border of the Zanopa alluvial fan. The third core (subject of this study: KAR) was taken from a peaty area expanding over the northern part of the alluvial fan, which is nowadays dry and on destruction. The communication aims at presenting initial results of geological analyses performed on these cores at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University. These will contribute to reconstruct the climatic and environmental evolution in Ereğli area since 25 ka (LGM). Proxies presented in the communication are: (1) grain size distribution analyses, with statistic treatments of the results; (2) mineral (silt, clay) composition using XRD analyses; (3) sediment structure using thin sections; (4) geochemical content of the sediments. / Ereğli’nin doğusunda, Adabağ bataklığı ile Zanopa alüvyon yelpaze ve Adabağ Geç Pleistosen geçidi arasında yer alan KAR isimli profil 420 cm derinliğe erişen bir karot olup, 2016-2018 yılları yaz aylarında arasında örneklenmiştir. Bu karotlar yörede yapılan diğer iki yaşlandırılmayan seriler ile ilişkilendirilmiştir: Adabağ bataklığının doğu kısmında BAĞ yer alır ve KAR kesiti ise Zanopa alüvyon yelpazesinin kuzeyinde Kargacık köyüne yakın bir yerdir. KAR (bu çalışmanın konusu) kayıtları Konya ovasında Mezolitik ve Neolitik dönem insan yaşamının çevresi üzerine bilgiler vermektedir. Bu çevresel evrimin rekonstrüksiyonu sediman içeresinde bulunan tane boyu, karbonat, organik madde ve mineral bileşenlerine dayanmaktadır. Bu çalışma sonucu, elde edilen karotlar üzerinde jeolojik çalışmaları yardımıyla Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesinde tamamlanması amaçlanmıştır. Bu veriler son 25 bin yıldan beri son buzul maksimum (LGM) İç Anadolu’da meydana gelen iklim ve çevresel değişikliklerini ortaya çıkarmaya yarayacaktır. Kayıtlar sırasıyla: (1) tane boyu dağılımı analizi, istatiksel değerlendirme sonuçları ile (2) mineral içeriği (kil türleri, diğer mineraller) XRD analizleri sonucu; (3) ince kesit çalışmaları sonucu mikro yapının ortaya çıkarılması; (4) sedimanların jeokimyasal içerikleri şeklindedir.
