Şile and Its Castle: Historical Topography and Medieval Architectural History ITU A|Z • Vol 18 No 1 • March 2021 • 183-198 Şile and its castle: Historical topography and medieval architectural history Hasan Sercan SAĞLAM [email protected] • Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED), Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey Received: March 2020 • Final Acceptance: May 2020 Abstract Being a district of Istanbul, Şile is located towards the east of the northern end of the Bosporus. This small city lies next to the Black Sea and it forms the northeastern section of the provincial borders of Istanbul. Şile Castle is popularly known as “Genoese Castle” but some other sources date it to the Late Byzantine period, as a typical watchtower. Following a long period of neglect, it most recent- ly came into prominence with a restoration in 2015, which fully brought it back to the supposed original appearance. Although some assumptions were formerly made in order to describe the origins of Şile Castle, it was seen that its medie- val architectural history was not elaborated despite the relevant information that were scattered around some significant primary sources as well as a number of secondary sources. Those works were not put together with the aim of exclusive objectives for Şile and its castle that the modern studies were also unaware of about which extant monument they mention of. Thus, a critical reading was done between relevant primary and secondary sources with a topographical and ar- chitectural point of view for Şile. The obtained information were chronologically considered for the topographical depiction, first construction, and usage of the castle for centuries. Major findings displayed that the origins of Şile Castle not only predate formerly supposed times but also differ than a simple watchtower in terms of initial function. Nearby castles also set an example regarding the usage of Şile Castle in later times.

The renowned Şile Castle is locat- ed on Ocaklı Island in the north. The castle as well as harbor of Şile are often named after the island as “Ocaklı Cas- tle” and “Ocaklı Harbor”. Moreover, Şile Castle is popularly known as “Genoese Castle” and some anonymous sources also attribute the old harbor of Şile to Genoese, a former Italian maritime re- public (Cura and Eyüpgiller, 2019). There were very limited research- es on the architectural history of Şile Castle within the context of its medi- Figure 1.

Sağlam 185 Şile Castle was described as a “for- tress” by Fıratlı (1952), where Eyüp- giller (2019) defined the central build- ing as a typical “watchtower” that such common vertical structures were re- portedly erected for observation and defense purposes on islands, peninsu- las and other coastal areas for detecting enemy troops approaching from the seaside, according to the same scholar. Yet, ramparts completed the layout to a castle. In addition, Bakalakis (1978) argued that it is impossible that there would have been a proper settlement within Şile Castle, as the walled area was relatively small. There are some brief hypotheses about the origins of Şile Castle that scattered around a group of modern secondary sources, which actually have different research scopes instead of the castle itself. Those arguments are simply based on rather narrative anon- ymous sources of information, backed by brief first impressions, which even- tually failed to elaborate the medieval Figure 2.

Idowu The Course synopsis is further outlined on lecture basis as follows: Lectures 1 – 4: Ecology, life histories of crustaceans and aquatic molluscs Lecture 5 – 8: Culture of Shrimps, Oysters, crayfish, crabs, periwinkles and frogs Lecture 9: Culture of edible sea weeds Lecture 10 – 11: Sea and Shore farming of some products Lecture 12: Processing and preservation of marine products. ECOLOGY AND LIFE HISTORIES OF CRUSTACEANS At elementary level, crustaceans are a class of primarily aquatic arthropods. The name crustacean is derived from the Latin words ‘crusta’ meaning hard shell. The class is large (about 26,000 known species) and includes a variety of aquatic animals such as shrimps, crabs, lobsters, barnacles, water fleas etc. Some crustaceans occur in the seas and freshwaters, some are semi-terrestrial. They are mostly free-living, but few are parasitic. The common names shrimps and prawns are used interchangeably but it has now been resolved at FAO Convention to call marine and brackish water forms shrimps and freshwater forms prawns. Technically, the prawns have pleura of 2nd abdominal segment overlapping with 1st and 3rd segments ventrally. But in shrimps, the somite of 2nd abdominal segment overlaps the 3rd somite. Before commercial importance of crustaceans could be appreciated, the characteristics and the relationships need be mentioned. The main diagnostic features of the Class are: The occurrence of 2 pairs of pre-oral appendages which are antenniform and sensory in functions i.e.

  • A Chronological Particular Timeline of Near East and Europe History
    Introduction This compilation was begun merely to be a synthesized, occasional source for other writings, primarily for familiarization with European world development. Gradually, however, it was forced to come to grips with the elephantine amount of historical detail in certain classical sources. Recording the numbers of reported war deaths in previous history (many thousands, here and there!) initially was done with little contemplation but eventually, with the near‐exponential number of Humankind battles (not just major ones; inter‐tribal, dynastic, and inter‐regional), mind was caused to pause and ask itself, “Why?” Awed by the numbers killed in battles over recorded time, one falls subject to believing the very occupation in war was a naturally occurring ancient inclination, no longer possessed by ‘enlightened’ Humankind. In our synthesized histories, however, details are confined to generals, geography, battle strategies and formations, victories and defeats, with precious little revealed of the highly complicated and combined subjective forces that generate and fuel war. Two territories of human existence are involved: material and psychological. Material includes land, resources, and freedom to maintain a life to which one feels entitled. It fuels war by emotions arising from either deprivation or conditioned expectations. Psychological embraces Egalitarian and Egoistical arenas. Egalitarian is fueled by emotions arising from either a need to improve conditions or defend what it has. To that category also belongs the individual for whom revenge becomes an end in itself. Egoistical is fueled by emotions arising from material possessiveness and self‐aggrandizations. To that category also belongs the individual for whom worldly power is an end in itself.

  • Opening Speech
    II. National Symposium On The Aegean Islands, 2-3 July 2004, Gökçeada - Çanakkale OPENING SPEECH Ali KURUMAHMUT Prime Ministry of Navigation Counsellorship Marine Transportation General Manager The Aegean Sea lies between the Turkish and the Greek main lands, as well as between the Morea peninsular and the southwestern edges of the Anatolian coasts, with the extension of the islands of Çuha, Küçük Çuha, Girit, Kaşot, Kerpe and Rodos that constitute its outer natural boundaries. In terms of the geographical structure, the Aegean, a semi-closed sea, has geological and geo-morphological characteristics peculiar to itself: it has about 1800 islands, islets and rocks of various sorts, as well as a number of geographical formations, scattered al over the Sea. There is little wonder that all these characteristics make the Aegean Sea a special one. The Aegean dispute between Greece and Turkey has been complicated for a number of reasons: for instance, there are many islands in the Aegean that Turkey ceded to Greece through international treaties. And these islands lying in the natural extension of the Turkish mainland surround Anatolia from north to the south. But Athens makes claims of sovereignty over many islands, islets, and rocks though Ankara never ceded any of them to Greece officially. The most obvious and famous case would be the Kardak rocks crisis that erupted between Turkey and Greece at the beginning of 1996. These complications make the Aegean a sea that is of special importance among the seas of the world. It is possible to divide the Aegean Islands into five categories in terms of their geographical locations, geological and geo-morphological characteristics, the historical perspectives of the sovereign powers to which they belonged, the manner in which the sovereignty over them was determined through international treaties, as well as their importance for geo-political and strategic purposes.

    The effect of the decorator crab Notomithrax minor on cultivated Greenshell mussel spat (Perna canaliculus) survival, growth and byssal characteristics. By Irene van de V en A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Marine Biology Victoria University of Wellington 2007 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Jonathan Gardner and Kevin Heasman for their support, mentoring advice and patience. I would also like to acknowledge the financial support received through the Dick and Mary Earle Scholarship in Technology, it proved one of the vital aspects in being able to produce this research. Thank you to Jorge David Aguirre Davies and Chris Cornwall for the many hours spent diving in dark, inhospitable and just plain nasty conditions underneath wharfs in the Wellington harbour to collect crabs. Thanks to the employees of Sanford Ltd; in particular Dave Herbert for making spat available for my experiments and for organising transport to and from my study sites. I would also like to thank Aaron Pannell and Dean Higgins at Marlborough Mussel Company for initially showing interest in my topic and for the numerous trips on their mussel harvesters and other boats. They also made a huge amount of spat available for experiments and made it possible for me to present my preliminary findings at the New Zealand Marine Farming Association AGM. Without this cooperation from the Greenshell mussel industry this project could never have been accomplished. Acknowledgetnents Thanks to the staff at the Cawthron Institute in particular the Cawthron Aquaculture Park staff; Dan McCall, Ellie Watts, Norman Ragg, Henry Kaspar and Achim Janke for providing invaluable advice, logistic and moral support and resources.
