  • Blue Cruise Turkey
    BLUE CRUISE along the Aegean coast of Turkey The Blue Cruise is ordinarily advertised as renting a private yacht (with captain and sta# on board), cruising along the southwestern coast of Turkey, making stops to swim, hike and see historical ruins. This sounds exciting but it misses the atmosphere of the Blue Cruise that is almost spiritual. As you board your yacht, you also cut the mental ties with land. You embark on a di#erent existence, as if nothing else matters outside your yacht, or even exists for that matter. What makes the Blue Cruise unique is the lack of requirements and responsibilities - at last the freedom to do absolutely nothing and with it, a complete freedom of mind. You can gaze at the sea for hours on end, you can swim everyday, sleep all day or you can finish that book that you weren’t able to finish for ages because of the lack of time. However if you want “action” to spend your time, you will never be at a loss to find yourself activities to try either. When the yacht is anchored, you can discover nearby coves by canoes; you can cover greater distance than swimming and its good exercise for your biceps! Or you can hail down one of the speed boats that tour the coves and bargain for water skiing, jetskis or banana rides. And it goes without saying that you can hike and climb to your heart’s content the pine and olive covered hills that rise from the shore to discover historical ruins from Lycians, Anatolian Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans.

Each room encompasses its own sun-deck, terrace or balcony, many with private gardens and infinity edged pools.

  • A Test for the Mediterranean Tsunami Warning System Mohammad Heidarzadeh1* , Ocal Necmioglu2 , Takeo Ishibe3 and Ahmet C
    Heidarzadeh et al. Geosci. Lett. (2017) 4:31 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40562-017-0097-0 RESEARCH LETTER Open Access Bodrum–Kos (Turkey–Greece) Mw 6.6 earthquake and tsunami of 20 July 2017: a test for the Mediterranean tsunami warning system Mohammad Heidarzadeh1* , Ocal Necmioglu2 , Takeo Ishibe3 and Ahmet C. Yalciner4 Abstract Various Tsunami Service Providers (TSPs) within the Mediterranean Basin supply tsunami warnings including CAT-INGV (Italy), KOERI-RETMC (Turkey), and NOA/HL-NTWC (Greece). The 20 July 2017 Bodrum–Kos (Turkey–Greece) earth- quake (Mw 6.6) and tsunami provided an opportunity to assess the response from these TSPs. Although the Bodrum– Kos tsunami was moderate (e.g., runup of 1.9 m) with little damage to properties, it was the frst noticeable tsunami in the Mediterranean Basin since the 21 May 2003 western Mediterranean tsunami. Tsunami waveform analysis revealed that the trough-to-crest height was 34.1 cm at the near-feld tide gauge station of Bodrum (Turkey). Tsunami period band was 2–30 min with peak periods at 7–13 min. We proposed a source fault model for this tsunami with the length and width of 25 and 15 km and uniform slip of 0.4 m. Tsunami simulations using both nodal planes produced almost same results in terms of agreement between tsunami observations and simulations. Diferent TSPs provided tsunami warnings at 10 min (CAT-INGV), 19 min (KOERI-RETMC), and 18 min (NOA/HL-NTWC) after the earthquake origin time. Apart from CAT-INGV, whose initial Mw estimation difered 0.2 units with respect to the fnal value, the response from the other two TSPs came relatively late compared to the desired warning time of ~ 10 min, given the difculties for timely and accurate calculation of earthquake magnitude and tsunami impact assessment.

  • Attic Pottery of the Later Fifth Century from the Athenian Agora
    ATTIC POTTERY OF THE LATER FIFTH CENTURY FROM THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATES 73-103) THE 1937 campaign of the American excavations in the Athenian Agora included work on the Kolonos Agoraios. One of the most interesting results was the discovery and clearing of a well 1 whose contents proved to be of considerable value for the study of Attic pottery. For this reason it has seemed desirable to present the material as a whole.2 The well is situated on the southern slopes of the Kolonos. The diameter of the shaft at the mouth is 1.14 metres; it was cleared to the bottom, 17.80 metres below the surface. The modern water-level is 11 metres down. I quote the description from the excavator's notebook: The well-shaft, unusually wide and rather well cut widens towards the bottom to a diameter of ca. 1.50 m. There were great quantities of pot- tery, mostly coarse; this pottery seems to be all of the same period . and joins In addition to the normal abbreviations for periodicals the following are used: A.B.C.

  • Alexander Conze, on the Origin of the Visual Arts, Lecture Held on July 30, 1896 [In the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences] Translated and Edited by Karl Johns
    Alexander Conze, On the Origin of the Visual Arts, Lecture held on July 30, 1896 [in the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences] translated and edited by Karl Johns Editor’s introduction: Alexander Conze: The Bureaucrat and Art- Historiography Like a number of his colleagues, Alexander Conze (Hanover December 10, 1831- Berlin July 19, 1914), came to classical archaeology after first studying law. His interests and gifts seem to have tended more toward curatorial and administrative work rather than lecturing, and he will be primarily remembered for his part in bringing the Pergamon Altar to the Berlin museums. It may therefore seem ironic that he nevertheless had a great influence as a teacher and probably the greatest influence in another field, which was only later to be defined and brought to fruition in academia by his students as ‘the history of art.’ For the purposes of art historiography it is therefore significant that after nearly ten years at Halle as Extraordinarius, he was called to the University of Vienna as Ordinarius, taught from 1869 to 1877, where Franz Wickhoff, Alois Riegl, Emanuel Löwy and Julius Schlosser, among others, were influenced by his teachings. In the lectures given by Conze to the Prussian academy later in his career, it is not difficult to recognize a similarity to Schlosser in the binocular attraction of more abstract questions on the one hand and the aesthetic appeal of the individual object on the other. Conze also anticipated and presumably inspired the later studies made by Ernst Garger on the ground in relief sculpture and the historical place of the Monument of the Julii.

  • Activities in the Athenian Agora: 1954 51
    ACTIVITIESIN THE ATHENIAN AGORA: 19541 (PLATES 243 1 ) T HE large-scale exploration of the Athenian Agora was completed by the Ameri- can School of Classical Studies in 1953.2 In the spring and summer of 1954, however, a modest campaign of excavation was devoted to the supplementaryexplora- tion of specific buildings at the southwest and southeast corners of the square. The restoration of the Stoa of Attalos as a permanent museum, which had been commenced in the summer of 1953, was pushed vigorously throughout the year 1954. Modern additions were stripped away from the 11th century Church of the Holy Apostles which stands at the southeast corner of the Agora, and a start was made on the restoration of the building to its original form. The systematic landscaping of the area was initiated in the late autumn of 1954. 'During the academic year 1953-54 Eugene Vanderpool again served as Deputy Field Director, and during the season supervised excavation. John Travlos divided his time between the architectural needs of the excavation and the Stoa of Attalos project. Lucy Talcott retained responsibility for the records, and at the same time made progress on the study of Red-Figure and Black-Glaze with the assistance of Barbara Philippaki. Alison Frantz took time from her duties as staff photographer to supervise the exploration and conservation of the Church of the Holy Apostles. Margaret Crosby directed an area of excavation and prepared the publication of a group of vases with theatral repre- sentations. Virginia Grace, assisted by Maria Savatianou, pursued her study of ancient wine jars.

Received: 1 February 2018; Accepted: 16 October 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: This article approaches the agency of displaced people through material evidence from the distant past. It seeks to construct a narrative of displacement where the key players include human as well as non-human agents—namely, the environment into which people move, and the socio-political and environmental context of displacement. Our case-study from ancient Italy involves potentially marginalized people who moved into agriculturally challenging lands in Daunia (one of the most drought-prone areas of the Mediterranean) during the Roman conquest (late fourth-early second centuries BCE). We discuss how the interplay between socio-political and environmental forces may have shaped the agency of subaltern social groups on the move, and the outcomes of this process. Ultimately, this analysis can contribute towards a framework for the archaeological study of marginality and mobility/displacement—while addressing potential limitations in evidence and methods.
