Prof. Dr. A. Güliz Bilgin Altınöz December 2017, 504 pages Foreign-run excavations are a significant component of archaeological research in Turkey, however, conservation work carried out at these excavations has not been examined in a holistic manner. This research investigates archaeological conservation at foreign-run excavations to identify the scale and nature of differing contributions, and to determine changing approaches, issues impacting conservation practices, as well as possible catalysts, influences and driving forces. The thematic scope, ‘conservation of archaeological sites’ and related practices, includes technical, socio-political and economic perspectives in a way that reflects developing trends in heritage conservation. The temporal scope of this research concentrates on the period 1979-2014. The sources used are previously published literature, interviews with directors, conservation professionals and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, as well as site observations. A representative sample of 19 foreign- run excavations was selected. v The research has identified a significant move towards the integration of conservation work into archaeological processes, and also that architectural conservation remains a major focus at almost all of the sites. Despite the widening scope of conservation practices to embrace the use of management planning and the involvement of local communities, these remain less widespread. The growing variety of funding sources has enabled the implementation of numerous large and small-scale conservation projects but conservation work, primarily architectural conservation, has been mostly implemented through private funding. Issues such as the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s lack of consultation, its architectural emphasis on conservation, as well as institutional cooperation, are some of the more pressing problems, while pervading links between Turkey’s repatriation efforts and archaeological permits also impact conservation. International guidelines, operational and regulatory frameworks, financial sources, differences in national approaches, and key individuals are identified as various possible catalysts, influences and driving forces behind conservation practices.

Dr. A. Güliz Bilgin Altınöz Aralık 2017, 504 sayfa Türkiye’deki arkeolojik araştırmaların önemli bir parçasını oluşturan yabancı kazılardaki koruma çalışmaları bugüne kadar bütüncül bir şekilde incelenmemiştir. Bu araştırma, bu kazılarda gerçekleştirilen koruma çalışmalarının boyutunu ve kapsamını, değişen yaklaşımları, çalışmaları etkileyen etmenleri ve çalışmaların arkasında yatan olası katalizörlerle itici güçleri belirlemeyi ve değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmanın tematik kapsamını oluşturan ‘arkeolojik alanların koruması’ ve ilgili pratikler, kültür mirasının korunmasındaki gelişmeleri yansıtacak şekilde korumanın teknik, sosyo-politik ve ekonomik boyutlarını içermektedir. Araştırmanın zamansal kapsamını 1979-2014 yılları arası oluşturmaktadır. Daha önce yayınlanmış basılı kaynakların yanı sıra yabancı kazı başkanları, koruma uzmanları ve Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı ile yapılan görüşmeler ve arazi gözlemleri araştırmanın kaynaklarını oluşturmaktadır. İnceleme, temsilen seçilen 19 yabancı arkeolojik kazı üzerinde yapılmıştır. vii Araştırma, koruma çalışmalarının arkeolojik süreçlere belirgin bir şekilde dahil olma yolunda olduğunu ve neredeyse çalışılan tüm kazılarda mimari koruma çalışmalarının en önemli odak noktasını oluşturduğunu göstermektedir. Koruma çalışmalarının kapsamı yönetim planlaması ve yerel toplulukların koruma etkinliklerine katılımını da içerecek şekilde genişlemiş olsa da bu tür çalışmalar pek yaygınlaşmamıştır. Maddi kaynakların çeşitliliğinin artmasının birçok küçük ve büyük ölçekli koruma projesinin gerçekleştirilmesine olanak sağladığı ancak özellikle mimari koruma çalışmalarının daha çok özel kurum ve şahıslardan sağlanan kaynakların yardımıyla gerçekleştirildiği tespit edilmiştir. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı’nın tarafları bilgilendirmesi ve onlara danışmasındaki eksiklikler ve korumayı daha çok mimari ölçekte ele almasının yanı sıra kurumlararası işbirbirliğinin yetersiz olması önemli sorunlardan bazılarıdır. Bununla beraber Türkiye’nin yurtdışından bazı eski eserlerin geri alınması konusundaki çalışmaları ve bunun arkeolojik kazı izinleriyle ilişkilendirilmesi koruma çalışmalarını etkilemektedir. Uluslararası ilkeler, yasal ve yönetsel çerçeveler, maddi kaynaklar, farklı ulusal ve kişisel yaklaşımların koruma pratiklerinin arkasında yatan bazı katalizörler, etkiler ve itici güçler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Firstly, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to my supervisor, Güliz Bilgin Altınöz. Her guidance and critical judgement throughout the process have been of utmost importance. Cevat Erder has seen this research develop from its inception, and his valuable comments and encouragement have been especially welcome. I am grateful to my Thesis Monitoring Committee members at METU, Neriman Şahin Güçhan, and Burcu Erciyas for their support and constructive comments. Gül Pulhan, a former member of the Thesis Monitoring Committee, also made valuable contributions in the earlier stages of this research. Special thanks go to Alan Greaves, whose warm welcome and support during my visiting research fellowship at the University of Liverpool greatly contributed to this research. I thoroughly appreciated his recommendations as a member of the Thesis Examining Committee, as well as those of Cengiz Can of Yıldız Technical University. At METU, I would also particularly like to thank Nimet Özgönül, my supervisor for my MSc in Restoration, and Ayşıl T. Yavuz for their continued guidance and support. I would like to express my gratitude to all the directors who welcomed me at their archaeological excavations. They, together with conservation professionals in their teams, gave significant amounts of time during their hectic schedules and responded enthusiastically to my questions. Their contribution has been invaluable. The Mediterranean site visits were funded by the Suna-İnan Kıraç Research Institute on Mediterranean Civilizations (AKMED). My fellowship at the University of Liverpool provided an ideal research environment and library facilities that helped me formulate and develop my initial ideas. I also benefitted greatly from communal academic setting of the x Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (RCAC/ANAMED) in Istanbul during my BIAA-RCAC fellowship. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to my friends: to Sermin Çakıcı Alp for her wholehearted encouragement and for lending a supportive ear, to Zehra Tulunoğlu for hosting me during my many stays in Ankara and for accompanying me on my very last site visit, to Oya Bakacak, Tuba Akar, Gökçe Şimşek and Ege Yıldırım for their kind support and encouragement, to Ali Çifçi for taking me under his wing in Liverpool and for his friendship ever since, to Pınar

An innovation in museum typology is needed to help tourists interpret the artifacts that been found at the site in a contextual manner. Through a study of literature by experts such as Victoria Newhouse, Stephen Wells, and other authors, and by analyzing successful interpretive center projects, I have developed a document outlining the reasons for on-site interpretive centers and their functions and used this material in a case study at the site of ancient Troy. My study produced a research document regarding museology and design strategy for the physical building, and will be applicable to any new construction on a sensitive site. I hope to establish a precedent that sites can use when adapting to this new type of visitors. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank a number of people for their support while I have been completing this program.

  • The Oberlin Near East Study Collection in Context Julian Hirsch
    1 The Oberlin Near East Study Collection in Context *See page 4 for citation. Julian Hirsch 2 Acknowledgements In some ways the groundwork for my thesis and work on the ONESC Initiative began more than five years ago in a kitchen in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. I was meeting Dr. Elizabeth Bloch Smith for the first time and could scarcely have imagined that our meeting would lead to my participation in an archaeological excavation in Israel that summer. After my first excavation, I was hooked. The spring before I came to Oberlin was filled with weekly meetings, readings, and discussions with Liz. I learned so much in that time and appreciate her continued guidance and support. If Liz was responsible for exposing me to just how fascinating the archaeology of the southern Levant was, Dr. Jeffrey Blakely was the person who helped me find the path where I could follow my passion at Oberlin. I still have my notes from the first day of the January 2017 Winter Term. I was amazed by everything Jeff knew about the history of biblical archaeology at the college and the history of the collection. If anything inspired me throughout my work, it was hearing vivid stories from Jeff about sitting in Harry Thomas Frank’s classroom learning about archaeology. Jeff has truly been my partner at every step of the way. I’ve consulted him for advice numerous times. Jeff kindly provided invaluable suggestions that only a true veteran of the field could offer. To give credit to Jeff in two more areas, Jeff certainly inspired my interest in the history of biblical archaeology and during the Winter Term in 2017 assigned me to work on the Bab edh-Dhra’ collection of Early Bronze Age tomb pots.

  • Monuments, Materiality, and Meaning in the Classical Archaeology of Anatolia
    MONUMENTS, MATERIALITY, AND MEANING IN THE CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF ANATOLIA by Daniel David Shoup A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Art and Archaeology) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Elaine K. Gazda, Co-Chair Professor John F. Cherry, Co-Chair, Brown University Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Christopher John Ratté Professor Norman Yoffee Acknowledgments Athena may have sprung from Zeus’ brow alone, but dissertations never have a solitary birth: especially this one, which is largely made up of the voices of others. I have been fortunate to have the support of many friends, colleagues, and mentors, whose ideas and suggestions have fundamentally shaped this work. I would also like to thank the dozens of people who agreed to be interviewed, whose ideas and voices animate this text and the sites where they work. I offer this dissertation in hope that it contributes, in some small way, to a bright future for archaeology in Turkey. My committee members have been unstinting in their support of what has proved to be an unconventional project. John Cherry’s able teaching and broad perspective on archaeology formed the matrix in which the ideas for this dissertation grew; Elaine Gazda’s support, guidance, and advocacy of the project was indispensible to its completion. Norman Yoffee provided ideas and support from the first draft of a very different prospectus – including very necessary encouragement to go out on a limb. Chris Ratté has been a generous host at the site of Aphrodisias and helpful commentator during the writing process.

  • Social Networks in the History of Archaeology. Placing Archaeology in Its Context
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Repository of the Freie Universität Berlin Amara Thornton Social Networks in the History of Archaeology. Placing Archaeology in its Context Summary This paper explores the value of social networks in the history of archaeology, combining them with biography and prosopography to produce a practical method for examining the development of the discipline, and an alternative to the traditional history of archaeology narrative. It presents broad categories for the interpretation and visualization of social net- works, illuminated by case studies focusing on linked political and archaeological networks in early British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan. Social networks are a tool for under- standing the historical context of archaeological work, and can be utilized to explore the role of men and women, politicians, soldiers, artists, architects, funders and others, in the excavation, interpretation, presentation and reception of archaeology. Keywords: Archaeology; social networks; biography; prosopography; history; British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan. Der Artikel untersucht die Bedeutung von sozialen Netzwerken in der Geschichte der Ar- chäologie. Im Rückgriff auf biographische und prosopographische Ansätze soll eine geeig- nete Methode zur Untersuchung der Entwicklung des Fachs herausgearbeitet werden und eine Alternative zu den traditionellen Erzählungen in der Archäologiegeschichte. Anhand einer Fallstudie über die miteinander verbundenen politischen und archäologischen Netz- werke in den frühen britischen Mandaten Palästina und Transjordanien werden allgemeine Kategorien für die Interpretation und Visualisierung von sozialen Netzwerken diskutiert. Die Analyse sozialer Netzwerke gibt Einblick in den historischen Kontext archäologischer Arbeit und erlaubt es, die Rollen von Männern und Frauen, Politikern, Soldaten, Künstlern, Architekten und Sponsoren bei der Ausgrabung, Interpretation, Präsentation und Rezepti- on von Archäologie zu untersuchen.
