13TH ICAZ INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2ND – 7TH SEPTEMBER 2018

ANKARA – TURKEY

PROGRAMME

A series of suggestions and drawings for the conference logo were submitted by METU, Ankara University and Hacettepe University students. After a vote by the members of the Scientific and Organizing Committee, the drawing proposed by Zeynep Ece Sahin was chosen. It encircles a number of bone "shadows" topped with the statue of a deer drawn after a metal find from the "Kings' tombs" at Alacahöyük. This statue is displayed at the Anatolian Civilizations Museum in Ankara.

ANKARA

A Brief History Andy Beard Bilkent University Archaeology MA Program

Overview

Ankara is a modern city with a remarkably long history. It has been a capital city four times: as the capital of the Galatian tribes, as the capital of the Roman province of Galatia, as the temporary summer­time capital of the Roman Empire after the emperor Arcadius, and as the modern capital of the Republic. Throughout this history, the city consisted primarily of the Ulus neighborhood and the defensible castle hill. Ankara’s position as the hub of several Roman highways made it an important military and trading center throughout antiquity. At its historical height, Ankara was one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire by size, stretching into the Sıhhıye neighborhood to the south. It quite possibly had a population of 100,000, which is impressive by the standards of the day. Rome itself had a population of I million at its height.

Hittites

There was a Hittite presence in Ankara, but it is unclear whether they used the castle. It is possible that Ankara is the city which is referred to as Ankuva in Hittite literature. Archaeological evidence for this period is sparse, but one can find bronzeage materials in Ankara. Keep your eyes peeled for the little Hittite lion on display at the Roman Bath Complex.

Phrygians

Ankara was clearly important for the Phrygians, who begin inhabiting the city in the 8th century BC. According to them, Ankara was founded by the legendary King Midas. There were at least twenty tumuli, large mound burials, in the city. Only the richest people could afford such burials, so there must have been some very influential individuals living in Ankara. The Phrygians were known for their expertise in textiles,and Ankara’s location in

11 central Anatolia was a perfect place to take advantage of a booming wool industry. Materials from this period include pottery found during the excavation of the Haci Bayram – “Temple of Augustus” complex, and a number of sculpted plaques including those of lions, griffins, and the goddess Kybele.

Galatian Capital

After Alexander pushed the Persians out of Anatolia, a Galatian tribe called the Tectosages moved into Ankara from southern France, via the Balkans. They made Ankara the capital of the region, which included two other major cities, Pessinous and Tavium. The Galatians often worked as mercenaries, which explains one of the myths surrounding the name of the city. One story says that the Galatians helped a Hellenistic Pontic king win a naval battle in the Black Sea, and they brought anchors back to Ankara as trophies (Ancyra means “anchor”). This is why you may see the occasional anchor lying about the city, even though Ankara is land­locked.

Roman Period

The city of Ankara expanded significantly when it was brought into the Roman Empire by Augustus in 25 BC. Within the first century the city boasted large colonnaded streets, markets, a theater, the “Temple of Augustus and Roma,” monumental fountains, and a stadium. The Res Gestae Divi Augusti, “Acts of Augustus” is carved on the wall of the Temple of Augustus, and is considered one of the most important Roman inscriptions in the world. The inscription can still be seen today on the southern wall of the temple.

The 3rd century AD was a difficult time in Ankara. The historical sources are sketchy, but Goths most likely attacked the city, destroying the stadium among other buildings. Then Zenobia of Palmyra probably controlled the city before it was retaken by the Roman emperor Aurelian. At some point during all the chaos, new fortification walls were built around the city. Because Ankara was an important military center, several emperors are known to have visited. Among them was the emperor Julian. There is a monumental column which can still be seen today, just west of the Haci Bayram complex. It is traditionally believed to have been dedicated to the emperor Julian in the 4th century AD, but the capital of the column is of a later 6th¬century style.

12

Late Antiquity

During the next few centuries, the city became largely Christianized, and was an important center for the early Christian church. There were a number of saints in Ankara, including St. Basil and St. Clement. The remains of the church of St. Clementcan still be seen, although with some effort, in the neighborhood just to the north­westof the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. In the 7th century, the city was raided by Persians and Arabs. When we visit the castle today, much of the fortifications that we see were built during this period of instability. An interesting aspect of the castle walls is that they are filled with recycled building materials from much older Roman buildings. If you look carefully, you can find a number of Roman inscriptions, architraves, and even stadium seats reused in the castle walls.

The Ottoman City

During the Ottoman period, the city retained its importance as a local hub for trade. They traded mohair, very fine cashmere­like wool from the Angora goat, which is primarily white, but does come in different colors. The Angora cat also appears in this period, which is known for its long white fur, and sometimes having different­colored eyes. Around the city, building continued even though the population was dwindling down to around 40,000 people. There are 12th and 13th­century mosques which can still be visited, including the Alaaddin mosque inside the castle and the Arslanhane mosque just outside the main castle gate. The Anatolian Civilizations museum itself is housed inside a 15th­century bazaar featuring ten domes. The castle was also further fortified, and a new city wall was built in the 17th century.

The Modern Capital

The city of Ankara became the capital of the Republic in 1923, after it served as the headquarters for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk during the War of Independence. Over the next few years, the city expanded rapidly in population. The most striking buildings from the early Republic can be seen along Atatürk Boulevard in the Ulus and Sıhhıye neighborhoods. These include the Ziraat Bankası building from 1929, the War of Independence Museum, and the Republic Museum, which housed the Turkish parliament from 1924 to 1960. Another very important landmark is Anıtkabir, the Mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. It was completed in 1953, and has a uniquely eclectic architectural style.

Sites

Roman Bath Complex

The Roman Bath Complex is probably one of the best sites in Ankara, because in addition to the remains of the baths, the hill also acts as an open­air park, where gravestones, milestones, and other inscriptions are on display alongside hundreds of architectural fragments. The bath complex itself is commonly dated to the period of Caracalla in the early 3rd century by coins found during excavation, but it is very likely from the 2nd century AD. It is believed to have been dedicated to the god of health and medicine, Aesclepius. The large open space near the entrance to the baths was originally a palaestra, a square where people could engage in athletic activities among other things. This is also a good place to pick up a Museum Card if you don’t already have one.

Haci Bayram Complex – Temple of Augustus

The Haci Bayram mosque dates from the year 1429, but it has undergone a number of renovations over the years. It is built right up against the “Temple of Augustus and Roma.” The temple was built during the reign of the emperor Augustus, and may have been placed on the site of an earlier temple to Kybele and Men, which would explain why the temple faces the southwest instead of the east like a typical Roman temple would. Originally the room that we see standing would have been painted yellow and surrounded by columns. It’s outer peristyle of columns was removed during the middle ages to be reused somewhere else, and the building was used as a church and then a madrasa.

Ankara Castle

An original date for the castle is difficult to ascertain. We do know that it existed before the Romans came to Ankara, because Strabo discussed the castle (phrourion). There were some brief excavations in 1939, and Roman foundations were found in several areas around the castle hill. The castle as we see it today however, is from a later date. This date usually ranges from somewhere in the 7th century AD to

about 859 AD, though the castle has had many additions and renovations since then. The neighborhood inside the castle is generally charming, with restaurants and small shops, and it is a very short distance from the Anatolian Civilizations Museum.

14

Museum of Anatolian Civilizations

The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations is just to the southwest of the main entrance to the castle. It is housed in a renovated 15th­century bazaar, and features collections from Çatalhöyük, Hittite and Assyrian settlements, Phrygian tombs, and the Roman and Ottoman eras. The central space is reserved for a great number of larger stoneworks, mostly from Hittite and Assyrian sites, including cult statues, winged griffins, and long sculptural programs. The section containing the Roman­era materials is downstairs and features an impressive coin collection, among some other more famous pieces, like the large Trajanic portrait found in a nearby neighborhood. Don’t forget to explore the garden outside, which has a number of Roman milestones, sculptures, and architectural fragments. The gift shop is in the garden on the south side of the museum.

Places to visit at Ankara

Gamze Durdu and Özgen Sütçü

Ulus area

 Old Parliament Building and Republic Museum: This building is considered as one of the most important examples of Turkish neoclassical architecture. New reforms were announced to public from here by Kemal Atatürk. It was used as parliament building between 1924- 1960. In respect to its historical importance at the Turkish Revolution Age, now it serves as the Republic Museum.

 First Parliament Building and War of Independence Museum: In 1920, when Atatürk and his companions first came to Ankara, this building served as a parliament building. The War of Independence was administered by the deputies from here. Also, the announcement of the establishment of the Republic of Turkey took place at this building.

 Column of the Julian the Apostate: In the old centre of Ankara, Ulus, this column was erected to commemorate the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate’s visit to Ancyra in 362. Height is 15 m. Corinthian style capitals.

 Roman Bath: Found in Ulus, one of the most well preserved baths in Anatolia, typical Roman bath with frigidarium, piscina, apoditarium, tepidarium, caldarium, was built

15

by Emperor Caracalla. Funerary steles, columns and sacrophagii from Roman and Byzantine era, which were found during nearby excavations are now exhibited in palaestra, close to the bath.

 Temple of Augustus :( Monumentum Ancyranum) Dedicated to Emperor Augustus and Rome. Next to Ankara’s most important mosque. The best surviving Latin and Greek copy of Res Gestae Divi Augisti (The Deeds of the Divine Augustus), the funerary inscription of Emperor August is inscribed at this temple. The temple was later used as a church and, after the conquest of Seljuks, as a mosque.

 Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque: Next to the temple of Augustus. They two share a wall. It was built in 15th century, renovated many times, now the characteristics of 17th-18th Ottoman Architecture are more prominent. Inside the mosque you can see beautiful hand carved plant designs around the upper windows and Ottoman Kütahya tiles one of the older and most famous in Turkey. Next to the mosque, there is the tomb of Hacı bayram Veli who was a religious leader and the founder of Bayramiyye religious order. He was also the teacher of Mehmed the Conqueror’s mentor Akşemseddin.

 Museum of Anatolian Civilizations: It was established with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s orders to build a Hittite museum in Ankara, and it is located in two restored historical buildings (Kurşunlu Han and Mahmut paşa Bedesteni). Artifacts collected from all over Turkey are displayed here.

 Erimtan Museum: Private museum, houses the large collection of ancient coins, glass vessels, gemstones, and jewelleries of Yüksel Erimtan.

 Pirinç Han: Once the biggest stopping point and shelter in Ankara for caravans, it now houses shops of antique dealers, second-hand book sellers, traditional clothes and different types of folk arts such as wood carving, painting etc.

 Sultan Alaaddin Mosque, inside the citadel, oldest mosque of Ankara, built by a Seljuk governor of Ankara in 1178. Repaired by Sultan Alaeddin of Seljuk after whom is now named. The wooden Minbar (pulpit) of the mosque is the original and displays intricate geometric designs.

 Aslanhane Mosque: Its true name is Ahi Şerafeddin Mosque. Ahi was an organization which ordered social, religious and economic life in the city. Şerafeddin is one of the ahi leaders who make important reparation to this mosque. His grave is to be seen

16

there. This mosque was built in 1289-1290. It reflects the characteristics of Seljuk mosque architecture. Its wooden columns and ceiling are worth to see. Its common name Aslanhane comes from the Turkish word aslan (lion) because of the ancient lion sculpture embedded in one of the walls. Most of the building materials used for this mosque are spolia from earlier buildings. It is one of the best examples of Seljuk wooden columned mosques.

 Ulucanlar Prison: The most famous prison in Ankara. Now used as a museum but, when it was a prison, Youth Leaders of 60’s and 70’s, famous politicians after military coup at 1980, writers and actors were imprisoned here. Actions and executions made in this prison are still controversary. Personal belongings of famous prisoners here are exhibited in their cells.

 Suluhan Çarşısı: It was built in 16th century. In Ottoman times, it was a coffee and rope bazaar. Now it is the best place to buy souvenirs. You can find almost everything that reminds Turkish culture. Also you can drink one of the best Turkish tea in Ankara.

 Balık, Sebze ve Meyve Hali: Right place to buy fish vegetables and fruits. Also you can find hundreds of different spices nuts and dried fruits. Best place to understand Turkish eating habits.

 Çıkrıkçılar Yokuşu: On your way to Castle, if you are interested in Turkish wedding dresses, this is the place to buy one! You can climb that slope with an angle of almost 60° for the shortest but hardest way to castle and learn more about Turkish wedding traditions. After the slope, before the castle many antique dealers, small but beautiful cafes and historical fabric of old Ankara will warmly meet you.

 Ankara Citadel: It dates back to Galatian times. Romans, Seljuks and Ottomans also contributed to its architecture. In its long history it has endured and became wounded by various wars and disasters. It is a very attractive sightseeing, with its two gates, numerous watchtowers and Ottoman houses now used as restaurants and souvenir shops. It is the best place to enjoy a panoramic view of Ankara.

17

 Hamamönü district: Hamamönü is the home of many cultural activities. Starting from 2009, with the restoration of 19th century Ottoman houses, this district is transformed into a home for many cafes, restaurants and cultural centres as well as residences for families.

 Koç Museum: First industrial museum of Ankara. This museum is housed on a restored han, built in 1522, also known as Çengelhan. It stands next to the Erimtan Museum and in front of Citadel gate.

 Roman Theatre: The Roman theatre stands at the northwest slope of the citadel. It was first discovered in 1982. Excavations were held here by the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. It dates back to 2nd century AD. It is a typical Roman theatre with an orchestra and at least two diazomas in a semi- circular shape.

Tandoğan

 Anıtkabir (Atatürk’s Final Resting Place): After his death in 1938, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s body rested in the Museum of Ethnography in Ankara. Turkish people decided to build a monumental tomb for their great leader. In 1953, they finally finished the construction of Anıtkabir, which is located in Tandoğan district on the top of Anıttepe. A path flagged by 24 lion statues leads the visitor to the monument through a botanical “peace garden” which is composed by 48500 plants from all over the world. Each lion symbolizes a Turkish clan in history. At the end of this path, is the mausoleum of Atatürk and The museum of the Turkish Independence War.

Yüzüncüyıl

 MTA Tabiat Tarihi Müzesi: Turkey’s first and biggest Natural History Museum. It was opened at 1968 and it serves as a home for fossils, minerals and rocks from Turkey, and other places all over the world. It is very close to METU and free to visit.

18

METU

The Middle East Technical University was fisrt founded with the name "Orta Doğu Yüksek Teknoloji Enstitüsü" (Middle East High Technology Institute) on November 15th, 1956 to contribute to the development of Turkey and Middle East countries and especially to train people so as to create a skilled workforce in the fields of natural and social sciences. Currently it has about 27,000 students and 41 undergraduate programs within 5 faculties. Additionally, there are 5 Graduate Schools with 105 masters and 70 doctorate programs and a "School of Foreign Languages". 15 undergraduate programs and 5 graduate programs are offered in connection with METU Northern Cyprus Campus.

Çatalhöyük

Çatalhöyük is located in Konya Plain, southeast of the city of Konya (Ancient Iconium) in Turkey, approximately 140 km from the twin-coned volcano of Mount Hasan. The site comprises of two mounds, one of which is the East mound that would have risen about 20 m above the plain, and dated as latest Neolithic (7400-6200 BCE) occupation, the other one is the West mound, dated to Chalcolithic (6200-5200 BCE) period and reflect continuation of the cultural practices evident in the East mound.

Çatalhöyük was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites in 2012. The site has a long occupation life from Ceramic Neolithic to Chalcolithic. It is made famous by its sheer size, unique arrangement of the built space, murals, and numerous burials all of which are factors contributing greatly to the understanding of the evolution of early economy, social organisation and culture.

Çatalhöyük was first excavated by James Mellaart between 1961 and 1965 and contributed new understandings to the Neolithic way of life in Anatolia. In 1993, modern archaeological excavation and conversation by an international team started under the supervision of Ian Hodder and his team. In 2018, a new study is started to conduct by Çiler Çilingiroğlu and her team in order to continue to provide new interpretations about Çatalhöyük.

Up to 18 excavated stratigraphic layers allowed for observing the gradual development, re- shaping and expansion of the settlement. The architectural arrangement of houses/buildings of Çatalhöyük is characterized by neighbourhoods without streets, dwellings with roof access indicating a highly circumscribed distribution of activity areas and features according to a clear spatial order. A typical house includes a central room with a hearth, platforms for sitting and sleeping and a separate food storage area. The central room is sometimes decorated with frescoes or reliefs or bucrania, and in many cases, single or multiple burials are uncovered under the platforms. Houses have no doors instead they are entered through an opening at the roof. Çatalhöyük has provided ample evidence of the rich symbolic world of its inhabitants. These symbolic expressions are reflected at various art works such as a frescoes, famous one being this with a hunting scene of a great bull (Fig.1), relief with leopards painting (Fig.2), various figurines (Fig. 3a-b), arrangements such as this at the northeast platform in building 77 with bucrania and bull head relief (Fig.4), and burials reflecting variety on the treatment of the dead. One of the most striking being the removal of the skull of the dead (Fig.5) as well as

75 the extremely contracted position of bodies found in many cases implying the removal of flesh before the burial.

Aşıklı Höyük

Sera Yelözer – Ph. D candidate, Istanbul University

The Volcanic Cappadocia Region has a distinctive historical, cultural and geological background with its valleys, rock-cut churches, underground cities and archaeological sites. The spectacular volcanic landscape of the region, the ecological micro-niches and the raw material resources most probably attracted the prehistoric communities to establish long-term, permanent settlements.

Within the modern village of Kızılkaya, located 25 km to the southeast of the city of Aksaray, lies the Aceramic Neolithic mound of Aşıklı Höyük, radiocarbon dated to the 9th and 8th mill BC (8400 -7300 BC). Aşıklı is the so-far known earliest sedentary community of the region.

The site was first discovered in 1963 by the hititologist E. Gordon, and investigated by I. Todd as part of a reconnaissance survey between 1964-65. Excavations at the site started in 1989 as salvage excavations under the directorate of Prof. Ufuk Esin from Istanbul University, Department of Prehistory. Since 2010, the research and excavation project is led by Prof. Mihriban Özbaşaran in collaboration with an international team from various universities and institutions.

The life of the Aşıklı community from the 9th to the 8th millennium BC

The settlement has an uninterrupted sequence, starting from mid-9th millennium cal BC until the mid-8th millennium. The first inhabitants constructed semi-subterranean, oval kerpiç buildings that were reconstructed and renewed periodically at the same spot. Kerpiç was the main construction element for hundreds of years. Although the volcanic landscape offers various kinds of stones that could be used as a durable construction material, the Aşıklı community strictly preferred kerpiç. This was due to the extensive knowledge of kerpiç production and probably their traditions. Characteristics of the 9th millennium buildings include hearths located at the center of the buildings, a small platform, grinding stones and burial pits. The life was organized outside the buildings, in open activity areas, where many of the daily tasks such as cooking, food processing and preparation, butchering and distribution of food from hunt and harvest, manufacturing of bone, obsidian tools, reed baskets and items such as bone beads were conducted collectively. The tools of the Aşıklı inhabitants were dominantly made from obsidian, obtained from the sources of Kayırlı-Göllüdağ and Nenezi,

79 some 25-30 km in distance. The raw material was brought to the site as nodules and the production took place in the settlement.

During the earliest phases of the 9th millennium settlement, wattle and daub structures were also in use. The use-life of these structures ended with a burning event. The causes of fire, whether it was deliberate or accidental, are under investigation, however analyses indicated that they had different functions than the kerpiç-walled semi-subterranean dwellings.

Analyses of micromorphology and soil chemistry and the presence of primary-in situ dung layers attest to the fact that animals were kept within such enclosures. Archaeozoological data, as well as isotope analysis show that caprines, specifically sheep, were kept in the settlement from the earliest levels; management and domestication process continues all through the sequence.

The archaeozoological data attest to a broad spectrum hunting during the 9th millennium, including a variety of small prey, birds and fish, although the main focus was always on sheep/goat and aurochs. The community had the knowledge and the experience of growing plants and cultivating wild and domestic cereals, as revealed by the presence of domesticated einkorn and emmer wheat. Wild plants, legumes such as lentil, pea and bitter vetch, fruits such as hackberry, pistachio, almond, were among the gathered plants.

The burial customs consist of intramural, sub-floor inhumations. The deceased were buried in pits under the floors of the buildings in hocker position. Although this tradition was not subject to change for hundreds of years, some new practices occurred during the latest levels of the occupation at the site. The dead were not buried with any “personal items” during the 9th millennium BC, however changes came towards mid of the 8th millennium when they were buried with items such as ornaments, baskets and obsidian tools.

With the start of the 8th millennium BC some changes occurred in the architecture and in settlement pattern. The oval, semi-subterranean buildings of the 9th millennium were replaced by rectangular ones. These buildings were mostly single roomed, although few in number two or three roomed buildings were also evident. Buildings were densely packed. The latest phases buildings were grouped together in what we may call neighbourhoods. Narrow spaces separated the building clusters from each other and a few passages/paths separating these neighbourhoods led to the communal middens. The daily life began to be organized on the flat roofs of the buildings and the interior spaces. Hunting and gathering continued, though with

80 less importance, and the subsistence was based mainly on sheep and goat. These animals were no longer kept within the settlement.

Mid of the 8th millennium showed a well-defined settlement organization where the residential area on north was separated from the special-purpose buildings area by a wide gravel street. To the southwest of the present mound lies a building complex, distinguished from the residential area in terms of plan, size, construction material, inner architectural features and floor and wall treatment. The distinct architectural features and the characteristics of the archaeological material (eg. the dominance of wild cattle) allowed us to interpret this section as a public area where communal consumption and certain ceremonies took place. The two large, domed ovens, located within this building complex, support the idea of collective activity in this area.

The overall results coming from a collaboration of various disciplines including geoarchaeology, anthropology, archaeozoology and archaeobotany allow us to understand the diachronic changes and transitions that the Aşıklı community underwent through hundreds of years of occupation. Besides the aforementioned changes, continuity of certain elements such as the location of the buildings and interior architectural features, constant renewal and maintenance of the floors and walls of buildings, and the transferring of objects and knowledge characterized the social fabric of the community. It could be argued that the inhabitants have managed to live in cohesion throughout the occupation sequence, the collective way of life had been maintained with new solutions and the perpetuation of continuity and collectivity against changes and transformations was the main character of the newly established Neolithic way of life at Aşıklı Höyük.

On your way to the Gülağaç District from Aksaray, right after you cross the bridge into the Kızılkaya Village, you will find the settlement nearby the Melendiz River. At the entrance of the site, the experimental Aşıklı village will welcome you. Aiming to understand the architectural choices and solutions, tool-making processes, harvesting practices and other aspects of daily life, the project has adopted a versatile approach to experimental archaeology where the life of the community is reconstructed. Experimentation work combines the data coming both from the field work as well as from a variety of analyses on archaeobotany, archaeozoology, micromorphology, phytolith and soil chemistry.

Alacahöyük

Alacahöyük is located in Alaca, Çorum/Turkey, and 34 km away (northeast) from Boğazköy (Fig.1). It is an important city of Hattian and it dates to 4500 BC, the Chalcolithic period. The site was first discovered by W. C. Hamilton in 1835 and excavations began in 1861 by George Perrot. Currently, Prof. Dr. Aykut Çınaroğlu is working on the site with his team since 1997. According to the information from studies and excavations, there are four layers of occupation t in Alacahöyük and these are; Chalcolithic (4000 BC-3000 BC) Early Bronze Age (3000 BC-2000 BC) Hittite – Late Bronze Age (1800 BC-1200 BC) Phrygian Iron Age (750 BC-)

Figure 1) Alacahöyük (https://www.hittitemonuments.com/alacahoyuk/index-t.htm)

Before the Hittites conquest the city, Alacahöyük was an important pre-Hittite city. Unique and with no other parallels to date are the 14 in number pre-Hittite royal tombs dated about 2500 BCE. The burials belong to adult men and women in foetal position facing south. Worth noting is the uniformity in the orientation of the tombs and rich burial gifts,

82 representing different customs than what is known from the rest of Central Anatolian burials. Most well-known burial gifts are that sun disks, deer and bull sculptures and fighting tools which are housed in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara (Fig.1). Replicas are displayed at the site. The LOGO of ICAZ 2018 was inspired by one of these burial gifts. The sun disk in Figure 2 a is the symbol of Ankara’s older and biggest University, the Ankara University and the it was used in the past as the one of the Logos of Ankara city council. The sun disk in Figure 2 b is reproduced as a big statue and erected at central Ankara, Sıhhiye Bridge.

Most of the standing monuments are from the Hittite period. The southern outer monumental gateway was located between two towers guarded by two great Sphinxes (Fig.3). Most of the reliefs and the two Sphinxes date back to the 14th century BC. In the site, these architectural elements are replaced with replicas. The originals were moved to the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara.

Hattusha

Hattusha was the capital of the Hittite empire that ruled Anatolia as well as northern Syria and the western edge of Mesopotamia in the 2nd and 1st millennium BC. The ancient site of Hattusha is located in modern village of Boğazkale in Çorum province. Today it preserves many impressive ruins including temples, royal residences, trading areas, necropolis and fortifications (Fig.1).

The area consists of two sites, the Upper City and Lower City and it was called Hattush by its inhabitants before it was taken by the Hittite King Hattusili I (ruled around 1600-1500 BCE). The principle cult building of the city was the Great Temple which has two cult rooms and it might have been devoted to the Storm God and Sun Goddess. The Great Temple, also called as Temple 1, is the largest one and the cult center for Lower Town inhabitants. The temple is rectangular in plan with a central court and surrounding rooms. The two cult rooms are located on the north side of the court whilst other rooms probably served for various rituals carried there by rulers or/and priests.

While the Lower City is generally considered as civic space, the Upper City is known as the Temple district because of several temple ruins. The Upper City is located on a broad arch and was protected by fortification walls to the south. There are five gates on the walls and amongst the most well-known are perhaps the Lions' Gate, Sphinx Gate and the Royal/King’s Gate. The Royal/King’s Gate is situated at the south-east end and the Lion Gate is situated at the western end of the southern curve of the wall is similar (Fig.2). The Sphinx Gate situated at the southernmost and highest point is different from these other two. The two gates, King Gate and Lion Gate are symmetrically located to the east and west of the Sphinx Gate. All three gates decorated with reliefs but some of the sculpted reliefs’ positions are different. This might have been related to the direction of the ceremonial procession because these three gates probably were allocated a special role: they might have been “processional gates” of a sacred route that passed around the temple city.

Yazılıkaya, situated 2 km to the north-east of the city, is one of the impressive sanctuaries of Hittites (Fig.3). It was probably built for the cerebration of New Year and devoted to the Sun Goddess and Storm God. It has three open air chambers (natural rock) and shrine and was built in 13th century BC or may be earlier. Access to the roofless chamber is through a path

85 and gates but from these structures only the foundations are preserved. Most impressive are the rock reliefs carved on the walls (Fig.4).

The capital was discovered in 1834 by Charles Texier and first excavation was started in 1890 by Ernst Chantre. Excavations by German – Turkish teams take place continuously since 1906. A team led by A. Schachner has been excavating the site since 2006. The site was included in the UNSECO list of World Heritage sites in 1986.

Ortaköy - Şapinuva

In the heartland of the Hitite Empire, near Ortaköy, Çorum, lies the city of Sapişnuva. It was the capital of the Hittite state for a period. At the beginnings of 14th century BC, Tuthaliya III- Taduhepa royal couple ruled in Şapinuva.

There are more than four thousand tablets and tablet fragments from this city written in different languages such as, Hittite, hurrian, Hattian, Akkadian. These tablets belonged to the royal archive which contains information on many subjects such as, administration, religion and oracle and various others. It is known from the documents that the city of Şapinuva was also an important centre during the reign of Murşili II.

The city is located on a plateau descending from northwest to southeast direction. When the Hittites came to this region, they did not settle to the existing villages, instead they built this great city by terracing and straightening the land. The trade route in the east-west direction along the Kelkit-Yeşilırmak valley reaches the Central Anatolia through this city therefore the city had a really significant role in trade.

The city of Şapinuva has been a capital for many years where the Great King resided. The state has been ruled from Şapinuva. The most important characteristic of this city is that it was a significant religious centre for people who wanted to purify themselves from their sins. This makes Şapinuva a unique example in the ancient world. The city of Şapinuva has had a very important place in the religious life of the Hitite people because it supplied holly water and special purifying rituals during ceremonies which were conducted to please the gods and goddesses who were believed to seriously affect people’s lives. This city was not only a capital of the state but also a religious capital of the state. Just like today’s Mecca or Jerusalem.

The excavation works conducted in two separate areas: Tepelerarası and Ağılönü. In Tepelerarası, building “A” was unearthed at the highest point of the researched area. In the foundations of this structure limestone and sandstone huge blocks were used. Surrounding walls were detected on the north and south of this building whose ground plan covers 2500 m2.

Large numbers of ceramics fragments and hole vessels of massive earthenware used for food and drink were recovered in another important structure, the building 'B'. The building covers an area of 1200 m2. It is estimated that about 1-1.5 tonnes of commodities can be stored in

89 this building. More than 70 large pithoi were found. This building was not only a storage but it was also lived in. The buildings C and D are important religious structures. There are two orthostats facing each other at the entrance of building 'D'. The left orthostat more likely belonged to god Teşup. The relief shows the god armed, leaning on a spear with his left hand, and greeting those who are entering the building. In addition, workshops and findings discovered in the Tepelerarası provide all new information for the scientific world on the production system of the Hitite state.

Ağılönü region was used for ritual purposes. In this area, a “Stone Pavement” with a size close to 2000 m2 has been uearthed. This structure is one of the most important and monumental buildings in Anatolia in these early ages. Located just in front of the “Stone Pavement” there are sacrificial pits, one of the most important archaeological discoveries for the Hitite period. According to cuneiform texts, during some ceremonies, these pits vere digged and accepted as the doorways which lead to the underworld. Animals like bird, lamb, sheep, cattle, pig were sacrificed into these pits. These pits are the archaeological evidence of the ceremonies mentioned in the cuneiform texts.

In addition to the architectural remnants, metal, ceramics, and many rare findings were unearthed during the Ortaköy-Şapinuva excavations.

Midas – Pessinus

Pessinus is located 13 km southeast of Sivrihisar and it is said to be the city of the cult of the Phrygian mother goodness Kybele. It had become a “temple” state by the 3rd BC governed by a council of priests, nevertheless, the Phrygian past of the city is not yet confirmed by excavations. Mostly ruins from the Hellenistic time and afterwards are excavated, such as the temple area, a Hellenistic palace and gymnasium and the Byzantine acropolis. Beside the houses from Late Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods in various part of the modern village, a castle, a Byzantine Church and workshops were found during the excavations. The site was first discovered by the French antiquarian Charles Texier in 1834 Although 30 years of systematic excavations have been conducted, the Kybele Temple has not been discovered yet. According to ancient Roman and Greek writers and travelers, Pessinus was founded by the semi-mythological Phrygian ruler King Midas around 8th century. The earliest settlement dates back to 1600 BC (Old Hittite period) in Pessinus.

Midas Şehir (Midas city) or Yazılıkaya (not to be confused with Hittite Yazılıkaya in Çorum) is approximately 66 km south of Eskişehir. The earliest settlement dates back to the Early Bronze age. The most impressive monuments of Yazılıkaya are dated to the Phrygian period from 8th to 6th century BC.

The first systematic excavation was conducted in 1936 under the auspices of the French Archaeological Institute in Istanbul led by A. Gabriel, and then C. H. E. Haspel, until 1939. After a long break for excavations, archaeological works began again in 1948 by Halet Çambel.

Yazılıkaya is known as an area of Phrygian open air sanctuaries and other archaeological remains. Kybele was worshipped here. The most well-known and spectacular structure in Yazılıkaya is the Midas Monument, an impressive façade, carved into the rock, dating back to the 7th or 6th century BC. At the top of the façade, an inscription in Old Phrygian is carved. This structure is believed that it used to house a statue of the goddess Kybele, also known as Matar. There is also a number of other cultic monuments such as steps and aniconic idols. Beside Phrygian monuments and remains, the area also has remains of Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine period.

Gordion

Gordion, the capital of Iron Age Phrygia, is located at modern Yassıhöyük, 80 km southwest of Ankara. The site was situated near the ancient Lydian road to Assyria/Babylonia which crossed in Sangarius River (modern Sakarya). Although there is little information about the Bronze Age period in Yassıhöyük, it is proposed that the earliest settlement dates from the Early Bronze Age (around 2500 BC). Most extensive finds at the site come from Iron Age (ca 1200 BCE- 550 BCE, Phrygian period) but also the Achaemenid Persian period (ca 550 BCE- 330 BCE, Late Phrygian period), the Hellenistic era (third to first centuries BCE), the Roman Empire (first to fifth centuries CE), the Medieval period (Sixth to 14th centuries CE) and the Ottoman period (15th-20th centuries CE).

Figure 10) Great Tumulus (also known as King Midas’s Tomb), Gordion. (https://vici.org/vici/18146/) Gordion was said to have been ruled by the legendary Phrygian King, Midas, in the late eight century BCE (Middle Phrygian period). The king is mentioned by Assyrian sources as well as by Herodotus as the first foreigner to make an offering to the Apollo sanctuary at Delphi. He is mentioned in mythological stories as the child of Gordias and the goddess Cybele who was

93 gifted the ability to turn everything he touched into gold by the god Dionysus because he looked after Silenus. Known as the “Midas touch” the gift became a curse for the king who could not anymore touch anything without having it turned into gold. Another mythological story has it that Midas was punished with having his human ears replaced with a pair of ass’s ears by Apolo for his judgement in a competition between Apolo and Pan or the satyr Marsyas in which Midas found the seconds’ music better.

The landscape around the city is dotted with tumuli (around 80). The largest tumulus, containing a very rich royal burial, was named as Midas mound (MM) but it was actually erected at an earlier time (Fig.1) making for the argument that it may belonged to Mida’s father Gordias. Favorable conditions allowed for excellent preservation of grave goods, even wooden items as well as the burial chamber also made of wood (Fig.3a-b-c).

A large part of the city is excavated and holds impressive gates and ruins of the palace. At the garden of the museum a Galatian Monumnetal tomb can be seen (Fig2 - b), and the Kayabaşı village Roman Mosaic (Fig 2 –a) with animal motifs in the center and geometrical ornaments around the central medallion.

The site of Gordion is first excavated by Alfred Körte and Gustav Körte in 1900 and excavations have continued at at the site under the auspces of University of Pennsylvania Museum with an international team led by Prof. Dr. C. Brian ROSE. Near the site, there is a small museum exhibits finds from the excavations.

Mevlana Museum-Konya

Celaleddin Rumi (later known as Mevlana), was a 13th century Persian poet, Muslim saint and mystic. He was a central religious figure, influential with his teachings of unlimited tolerance, charity and awareness through love. After his death his son and his followers established the Mevlevi order. Due to the famous practice of whirling around oneself as a form of dhikr (a form of praying), the Mevlevi are also known as the Whirling Dervishes with their “The Mevlevi Sema Ceremony” which is also included UNESCO intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2008.

Mevlana Dergahı (Dervish Lodge) which is presently used as a museum was the Rose Garden of the Seljuks Palace and it was given as a gift to Mevlana's father Sultanü'l-Ulema Bahaaeddin Veled by Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad When Sultanü'l-Ulema died on 12 January 1231, he was buried there and this was the first burial ever to take place in the Rose Garden.

After the death of Sultanü'l-Ulema, his friends and disciples approached Mevlana and expressed their wish to build a mausoleum over his grave. Mevlana refused this request remarking "How could there be a better mausoleum than the sky itself? However, when Mevlana died on 17 December 1273, his son Sultan Veled accepted the request of those who wanted to build a mausoleum over Mevlana's grave. The mausoleum called "Kubbe-i Hadra" (Green mausoleum) was built by the architect Bedrettin from Tebriz for 130.000 Seljuk dirhem (currency) on four elephant feet (thick columns). After this date, the construction activities never ceased and continued in stages up to the end of the 19th century.

The courtyard of the museum is entered from "Dervişan Kapısı" (The gate of the Dervishes). There are dervish cells along the north and west sides of the courtyard. The south side, after Matbah and Hürrem Pasha Mausoleums, terminates with the gate of Hamuşan (Sealed Lips) which opens to Üçler cemetery. On the eastern side of the courtyard there are mausoleums of Sinan Pasha, Fatma Hatun and Hasan Pasha, the Samahane (Ritual Prayer Hall) next to them and the small mosque (mesjidt) section and the main building where the graves of Mevlana

97 and his family members are also housed. In the courtyard there is a roofed washing fountain (şadırvan) built by Sultan Yavuz Sultan Selim in 1512.
