Name, Last name : Deniz ECEMİŞ-ÖZBİLEN Signature : iii ABSTRACT GORDION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE AND MUSEUM: A CRITIQUE ECEMİŞ-ÖZBİLEN, Deniz M.A., Department of History of Architecture Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Belgin Turan Özkaya July 2019, 195 pages Gordion is one of the most important archaeological sites, both because it was the cultural and political capital of Phrygia and has been the most excavated and studied Phrygian site so far. Despite the fact that Phrygians have a deep-rooted place in the history of Anatolia, and despite the inherited cultural heritage, they have not been able to go beyond a couple of legends and characters in the social memory. This thesis examines the Gordion archaeological site and museum by focusing on the concepts of archaeology, museum and cultural memory. It is aimed to study the Gordion Archaeological Museum by placing the processes of the archaeological excavations, construction of the on-site museum, and Gordion as a cultural landscape into the context of the evolution of archaeology and museology from the mid-19th century in the Ottoman Empire to the mid-20th century in Republic of Turkey. Within the scope of the thesis, the Phrygians –which still maintain their physical and cultural traces in the Anatolian lands– and the capital Gordion are discussed extensively. Based on the history of the Gordion Archaeological Museum and the archaeological excavations carried on since 1950, an answer to the question “Why the knowledge about Gordion, which had been settled by various civilizations for centuries, cannot go beyond a few public figures and legends?’ is provided through an analysis of the architectural, sociological, and cultural details. iv Keywords: archaeology, archaeological museums, cultural memory, Phrygians, Gordion v ÖZ GORDİON ÖREN YERİ VE MÜZESİ DEĞERLENDİRMESİ ECEMİŞ-ÖZBİLEN, Deniz Yüksek Lisans, Mimarlık Tarihi Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Prof. Dr. Belgin Turan Özkaya Temmuz 2019, 195 sayfa Gordion, Frigya'nın kültürel ve politik başkenti olması ve bugüne dek en çok kazılan ve çalışılan Frigya bölgesi olması nedeniyle en önemli arkeolojik alanlardan biridir. Frigler'in Anadolu’da köklü bir yeri ve kültürel mirası olmasına rağmen, toplumsal hafızada birkaç efsane ve karakterden öteye geçememektedirler. Bu tez çalışması, Gordion Antik Kenti ve çevresini, arkeoloji, müze ve kültürel hafıza kavramlarını odağına alarak inceliyor. Arkeolojik kazı ve müzenin kuruluş süreçlerini ve bir kültürel peyzaj olarak Gordion’u 19. yüzyıl Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndan 20. yüzyıl Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ne kadar olan süreçteki arkeoloji ve müzeciliğin gelişimi bağlamına oturtarak araştırmayı amaçlıyor. Tez kapsamında, Anadolu topraklarında gerek fiziki gerek kültürel olarak izlerini hala barındıran Frigler ve başkenti Gordion kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alınıyor. “Tarih boyunca birçok medeniyete ev sahipliği yapmış, Friglere ise başkent olmuş Gordion hakkındaki bilgilerimiz neden birkaç isim ve efsaneden öteye gidememektedir?” sorusuna, Gordion Arkeoloji Müzesi tarihi ve Gordion Antik Kenti’nde 1950 yılından beri sürdürülen kazı çalışmaları temel alınarak hem mimari hem sosyolojik hem de kültürel detayları analiz eden bir cevap aranıyor. Anahtar kelimeler: arkeoloji, arkeoloji müzeleri, kültürel hafıza, Frigler, Gordion Antik Kenti vi To my mother and father who have dedicated all their life to me… vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Belgin Turan Özkaya for all her guidance, criticisms, encouragements and contributions throughout this research. Her support has been a tremendous benefit during this process. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Deputy Director of the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, Halil Demirdelen, who has been generous with his time, comments and suggestions. I would also like to thank the Gordion archivist of Penn Museum in University of Pennsylvania Gareth Darbyshire who helped me patiently by sharing all the materials each time that I would like to reach. I also owe a debt of gratitude to my dear friends; Derya Marangoz for always being there with her support and patience and for helping me in drawing the 3D modeling of the non-implemented building project, Yasemin Canik for her inspiring courage and support all throughout the time and for making me smile in my toughest times, Erdi Emekli for his patience with my never-ending wishes, Pelin Duba for her sweet support and endless joy. I am deeply grateful to my second family Zeliha Özbilen, İsa Özbilen and Ata Özbilen for their invaluable patience, understanding and encouragement during the course of this work. I would like to express deepest gratitude to my mother Buket Yararbaş Ecemiş and my father Osman Sungur Ecemiş. Their trust and support kept me going throughout this research. It would never been realized without their never-ending love. Above all, no words could explain my gratitude to my soul mate, Başar Özbilen, who had always been there for me whenever I needed him, with his endless love, energy and viii motivation; to support, to encourage, and to help me in every way possible. I know that nothing could have been ever made, without him. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS PLAGIARISM…………………………………….………………………………...... iii ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………iv ÖZ……………………………………………………………………………………...vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……………………………………………………......... viii TABLE OF CONTENTS.................................................................................................x LIST OF FIGURES……………………………………………………………………xii CHAPTER 1.

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.

  • Separating Fact from Fiction in the Aiolian Migration
    hesperia yy (2008) SEPARATING FACT Pages399-430 FROM FICTION IN THE AIOLIAN MIGRATION ABSTRACT Iron Age settlementsin the northeastAegean are usuallyattributed to Aioliancolonists who journeyed across the Aegean from mainland Greece. This articlereviews the literary accounts of the migration and presentsthe relevantarchaeological evidence, with a focuson newmaterial from Troy. No onearea played a dominantrole in colonizing Aiolis, nor is sucha widespread colonizationsupported by the archaeologicalrecord. But the aggressive promotionof migrationaccounts after the PersianWars provedmutually beneficialto bothsides of theAegean and justified the composition of the Delian League. Scholarlyassessments of habitation in thenortheast Aegean during the EarlyIron Age are remarkably consistent: most settlements are attributed toAiolian colonists who had journeyed across the Aegean from Thessaly, Boiotia,Akhaia, or a combinationof all three.1There is no uniformityin theancient sources that deal with the migration, although Orestes and his descendantsare named as theleaders in mostaccounts, and are credited withfounding colonies over a broadgeographic area, including Lesbos, Tenedos,the western and southerncoasts of theTroad, and theregion betweenthe bays of Adramyttion and Smyrna(Fig. 1).

  • 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.

  • Point Cloud Registration and Virtual Realization of Large Scale and More Complex Historical Structures
    International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XL-7/W2, 2013 ISPRS2013-SSG, 11 – 17 November 2013, Antalya, Turkey POINT CLOUD REGISTRATION AND VIRTUAL REALIZATION OF LARGE SCALE AND MORE COMPLEX HISTORICAL STRUCTURES C. Altuntas*, F. Yildiz Selcuk University, Engineering Faculty, Department of Geomatics, 42075, Selcuklu, Konya, Turkey - [email protected] Commission V KEY WORDS: Terrestrial, Laser Scanning, Point Cloud, Registration, Accuracy, Three-Dimensional, Cultural Heritage ABSTRACT: Digital information technology always needs more information about object and its relations. Thus, three-dimensional (3D) models of historical structures are created for visualize and documentation of them. Laser scanner performs collecting spatial data with fast and high density. 3D modeling is extensively performed by terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) with high accuracy. At the same time, point cloud registration of large scale objects must be performed precisely for high accuracy 3D modeling. In this study, 3D model was created by measuring the historical Mevlana Museum in Konya with terrestrial laser scanner. Outside and inside point clouds were registered relation one of the point clouds selected from the measurements. In addition accuracy evaluation was performed for created point cloud model. In addition, important details were specifically imaged by mapping photographs onto the point cloud and detail measurements were given. 1. INTRODUCTION Sultanul-Ulema Bahaeddin Veled who is the father of Mevlana. Sultanul-Ulema was buried in the present mausoleum after his The historical structures have to be documented with all the death. The mausoleum where the Green Dome (Kubbe-i Hadra) details in order to maintain and restore to their original forms is located was built with the permission of the son of Mevlana, and re-build when they are destroyed.
