    A place of burning hero or ancestor cult at Troy
    (Amer School Classical Studies At Athens, 2011) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    This article presents the evidence for Early Archaic ritual activity on the site of a Late Bronze Age cemetery a short distance outside the walls of Troy, at a spot known to excavators as "A Place of Burning." Here, as at the West Sanctuary adjacent to the citadel, the evidence follows a pattern similar to that found in hero and ancestor cults at other sites. Growing population in the region may have led the inhabitants of Troy to use associations with Bronze Age remains as a way of strengthening territorial claims and bolstering the power of the local elite.

    The early iron age at troy reconsidered
    (Wiley, 2014) Kealhofer, Lisa; Grave, Peter; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) of Protogeometric ceramics at Troy supports a revision of our understanding of the site in the Protogeometric period. Previous interpretations of this period at Troy emphasized the importance of either Greek migration or Greek trade networks. A category of amphoras previously thought to be imports appears to have been made locally. NAA also indicates local production of a new class of handmade cooking pots, as well as more traditional Gray ware vessels. Analysis reveals a high degree of cultural continuity at Iron Age Troy, with inhabitants adopting and adapting a wider vocabulary of Protogeometric vessel types in the Aegean while integrating them with established local pottery traditions and resource use. The combinations of local and non-local components seen at Troy are more consistent with long-term dynamic Aegean interaction spheres than with more tenuous models of Aeolian migration or Euboian expansion.

    Troy: protogeometric, geometric and archaic periods
    (Mersin Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2014) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Günata, Gülşah; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/A
    New research at Troy has led to revisions in our understanding of the site in the Protogeometric, Geometric, and Archaic phases (1070/1040-500/480 B.C.). This article provides an overview of the key developments as well as presenting the new chronological framework for these phases. Three major chronological revisions are discussed in this article. First is the evidence for continued occupation in the Protogeometric and Geometric phases. Second, is the evidence for a destruction at the site in the middle of the 7th century and the changes that occur after this destruction. Third, is the division of the Archaic phase into sub-phases ending with a hiatus at the site in the early Classical period. The majority of archaeological remains can be associated with religious activity, and it is likely that the main significance of Troy during these phases was as a regional cult center./ Öz:Troya’da gerçekleştirilen yeni araştırmalar, yerleşimin Protogeometrik, Geometrik ve Arkaik dönemlerine (M.Ö. 1070/1040–500/480) ilişkin bilgilerimizde kimi düzeltmeler yapılması gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu çalışma söz konusu dönemler için yeni bir kronolojik çerçeve sunarken, aynı zamanda kilit gelişmelere ilişkin genel bir bakış ortaya koymaktadır. Burada üç temel kronolojik düzeltme ele alınmaktadır. Bunlardan ilki, Protogeometrik ve Geometrik dönemlerde yerleşimin devam ettiğini gösteren kanıtlardır. İkincisi, M.Ö. 7. yüzyılın ortalarında yerleşimde gerçekleşen tahribata ilişkin kanıtlar ve bu tahribatın ardından ortaya çıkan değişikliklerdir. Üçüncüsü, erken Klasik dönemde yerleşimde bir kesintiyle sona eren Arkaik dönemin alt dönemlere ayrılmasıdır. Arkeolojik kalıntıların büyük çoğunluğu dinsel etkinlikle ilişkilendirilebilmektedir ve bu dönemlerde Troya’nın temel önemi, bölgesel bir kült merkezi olmasından kaynaklanmış olmalıdır.

    Research of the historical and battlefield archaeology of the Gallipoli Peninsula: the Ottoman Fortress at Seddülbahir
    (Tuba-Turkish Acad Sciences, 2008) Celik, Rahmi Nurhan; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Şenocak, Lucienne; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 100679
    The Seddulbahir fortress stands at the end of the Gallipoli peninsula and was built in the 17th century by Hadice Turhan Sultan, the mother of Sultan Mehmed IV, to help protect the entrance to the Dardanelles from Venetian naval invasions. The fortress has been an important Ottoman naval fortification of the western Aegean frontier of the Ottoman Empire; the strategic location of the fortress made it the first point of attack by Allied forces during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I. The deaths of Turkish soldiers there, and the commemorative monument that has been erected at the entrance to the fortress also makes the site an important symbol for the Turkish nation. Today the fortress at Seddulbahir is in a critical state of deterioration. As part of a larger scale project for the conservation, re-usage and presentation of the fortress for visitors, a joint team from Koc University's Archaeology and History of Art Department and Istanbul Technical University's Geodesy and Photogrammetry department have been. investigating the architectural history of the fortress from the 1711 through the 20(th) centuries also considering the nature of the destruction that took places during the bombardments of the site during World War One. In order to do this we are employing a variety of methods to research and document the site. Archaeological excavation is one research strategy that has been conducted during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Our other main undertaking has been to go through the documents in die archives covering the two centuries concerning the construction and repair activities that took place in the fortress so as to understand the later history of the Seddulbahir castle. Oral testimony from village residents has been collected and used to shed light upon the intangible heritage of the region and the past memories as well as the present concerns of residents who currently live at the historical site. Finally, new technology such as 3D laser scanning has been used to insure that an extremely accurate set of measurements exists for long term conservation monitoring of the structural changes that may occur at the fortress, and to help in presenting accurate virtual representations of the many stages of Seddulbahir's past.

    Across the hellespont: Maydos (Ancient Madytos), Troy and The North-Eastern Aegean in the late eighth to early sixth century BC
    (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2016) Sazcı, Göksel; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    This article presents new excavation results from three oval or apsidal houses discovered at the site of Maydos-Kilisetepe (ancient Madytos), which is located near the coast of the Hellespont on the Gallipoli peninsula. The houses date to the late eighth to early sixth century BC. The material from Maydos is evaluated in comparison with the nearby site of Troy (Ilion) and situated within the wider context of developments in the north-eastern Aegean region during the Late Geometric to Early Archaic periods. From the mid-eighth to the mid-seventh century, a cultural koine existed in the north-eastern Aegean, shown by the strong similarities in material culture among the sites in the region. Troy was most probably a large regional centre, while Maydos functioned as a smaller settlement within this network. The power and influence of this koine declined or was replaced in the mid-seventh century, when there was a sudden influx of Ionian-style ceramics at Maydos, around the same time that Troy experienced a destruction. The patterns of cultural interactions changed with the establishment of Greek (primarily Ionian and Athenian) colonies on both sides of the Hellespont during the second half of the seventh to the early sixth century.

    Individual, household, and community space in Early Bronze Age western Anatolia and the nearby islands
    (Univ Calgary Press, 2006) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    Societies exhibit variation in how they conceptualize and ascribe importance to social categories such as the individual, the household and the community. One way that archaeologists can begin to investigate ancient concepts about social categories is through a study of the arrangement of space. The placement of walls within houses and settlements provides a framework for interactions and negotiations, and the allotment of space should correspond in some degree to social divisions and relationships, or at least ones that the builders chose to mark in a material form. An examination of architectural remains from Early Bronze Age sites in western Anatolia and the nearby island of Lesbos demonstrates how physical boundaries and spatial arrangements can express ideas about the relationship of the individual to larger social categories of an ancient community.

    Cultural dynamics and ceramic resource use at Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Troy, northwestern Turkey
    (Elsevier, 2013) Grave, Peter; Kealhofer, Lisa; Hnila, Pavol; Marsh, Ben; Thumm-Dograyan, Diane; Rigter, Wendy; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Aslan, Carolyn Chabot; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    Changes in resource use over time can provide insight into technological choice and the extent of long-term stability in cultural practices. In this paper we re-evaluate the evidence for a marked demographic shift at the inception of the Early Iron Age at Troy by applying a robust macroscale analysis of changing ceramic resource use over the Late Bronze and Iron Age. We use a combination of new and legacy analytical datasets (NAA and XRF), from excavated ceramics, to evaluate the potential compositional range of local resources (based on comparisons with sediments from within a 10 km site radius). Results show a clear distinction between sediment-defined local and non-local ceramic compositional groups. Two discrete local ceramic resources have been previously identified and we confirm a third local resource for a major class of EIA handmade wares and cooking pots. This third source appears to derive from a residual resource on the Troy peninsula (rather than adjacent alluvial valleys). The presence of a group of large and heavy pithoi among the non-local groups raises questions about their regional or maritime origin. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
