YENER Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, 1155 East 58th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA and H. OÈ ZBAL Faculty of Arts and Sciences, BogÆazicËi University, Istanbul, Turkey The accumulated published database of stable lead isotope analyses of ore and slag specimens taken from Anatolian mining sites that parallel the Black Sea coast has been augmented with 22 additional analyses of such specimens carried out at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Multivariate statistical analysis has been used to divide this composite database into ®ve separate ore source groups. Evidence that most of these ore sources were exploited for the production of metal artefacts during the Bronze Age and Phrygian Period has been obtained by statistically comparing to them the isotope ratios of 184 analysed artefacts from nine archaeological sites situated within a few hundred kilometres of these mining sites. Also, Appendix B contains 36 new isotope analyses of ore specimens from Central Taurus mining sites that are compatible with and augment the four Central Taurus Ore Source Groups de®ned in Yener et al. (1991). KEYWORDS: BLACK SEA, CENTRAL TAURUS, ANATOLIA, METAL, ORES, ARTEFACTS, BRONZE AGE, MULTIVARIATE, STATISTICS, PROBABILITIES INTRODUCTION This is the third in a series of papers in which we have endeavoured to evaluate the present state of the application of stable lead isotope analyses of specimens from metallic ore sources and of ancient artefacts from Near Eastern sites to the inference of the probable origins of such artefacts.

(Thesis Supervisor) Leyla Neyzi ......................................... Akşin Somel ......................................... DATE OF APPROVAL................................ ii © Daniel Fields 2013 All Rights Reserved iii STATE IMPOSED PLACE NAME CHANGE IN TURKEY AND THE RESPONSE OF GIRESUN RESIDENTS Daniel Fields Turkish Studies M.A. Thesis, 2013 Prof. Dr. Cemil Koçak Keyword: Place Names, Toponymical Change, Giresun, Turkey Abstract: In 1913, the Ottoman state began attempting to systematically impose new place names across the territory under its control. Although the intensity of the efforts varied greatly, place name change would continue through the end of the Ottoman Empire and on into the Republic of Turkey. By 1968, when a volume containing all the changes was published by the Interior Ministry, roughly thirty percent of settlement names in Turkey had been changed. Renaming continued sporadically until the 1990s. This thesis inquires into these attempts at name change in Turkey with a focus on how people responded to the changes in their everyday lives. The value of place names as formulated in human and cultural geography is explored in order to determine why people may have rejected or accepted the state imposed names. Place name change, rather than being approached solely as a nation-building project motivated by Turkification, is also considered as being a technique of governmentality.
  • The Results of the Excavations Made on Behalf of the Turkish Historical Society at Alaca Höyük in the Summer of 1936

    The Results of the Excavations Made on Behalf of the Turkish Historical Society at Alaca Höyük in the Summer of 1936

    THE RESULTS OF THE EXCAVATIONS MADE ON BEHALF OF THE TURKISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT ALACA HÖYÜK IN THE SUMMER OF 1936 Dr. Hamit Zübeyr Ko~ay Director of the Excavation The results of the excavations made on behalf of the Turkish Historical Society will be published in book form. We shall be satisfied here by giving a summary of the results at hand. The aimsof the expedition and the area to be excavated this year were more or less determined in advance. First of all it was neeessary to clarify definitely the layers uncovered last year, to separate plainly the different architectural levels and as far as possible to obtain new evidence concerning the important material culture of the Copper Age. It was also desirable this year to establish the cultural se- quence of the Alaca Höyük by penetrating to virgin sol!. Obviously this could be investigated most conveniently in the area of last year's excavation. As the expropriation of the houses East and West of the excava- ted area was not yet completed and as a large amount of rain - water had gathered in the North, where the main drainage of the village passes, there remained only in the South a free area where the work could be carried on. In order to study methodically the cultural contents of the layers, all pieces of pottery within the depth of 20 centimetres were collected separately and their profiles were carefully studied. Furthermore, in a control excavation made within an area of 2.50-3.00 metres to the East of the main excavated area the subdivisions of the architectural layers were clarified.

    Acts 16 Notes

    Book of Acts Chapter 16 Theme: The second missionary journey of Paul Time Chart – Paul 30 AD: Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, Pentecost 32 AD: Stephen stoned, Paul converted 35 AD: Paul’s 1st visit to Jerusalem (Acts 9) 44 AD: Paul moves to Antioch 46 AD: Paul’s 2nd visit to Jerusalem (Acts 11) 47-48 AD: Paul’s 1st Journey (Acts 13-14) 49 AD: Jerusalem council (Acts 15) 49-52 AD: Paul’s 2nd Journey (Acts 16-18) Antioch (Syrian) Tarsus Mountains Cilician Gates Strategic passage through Taurus range Derbe, Lystra & Icunium Circumcision of Timothy The first 5 versus of both Act 15 and 16 begin with the issue of circumcision. In Acts 15, Paul was faced with the demand that Gentile believers be circumcised, he opposes this vehemently. In fact he obtain a letter of unanimous consensus that circumcision is not necessary for salvation. But in Acts 16, when Paul is delivering said letter to the Gentile churches he comes to Lystra and finds Timothy. Taking Timothy, the son of a Gentile and Jewess, along, he has him circumcised. Contradiction?!? Circumcision of Timothy Circumcision of Timothy But in Acts 16: Timothy’s circumcision had nothing to do with his salvation. Had anyone demanded Timothy be circumcised he would have resisted it, as he did with Titus (Gal. 2:3). But since Timothy was a Jew, via his mother, and many Christian Jews (as well as unsaved Jews for that matter) felt that circumcision was something God called all Jews to do (not for salvation but to be a good Jew).
