  • 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.

  • On the Surface Circulation of the Marmara Sea As Deduced from Drifters

A total of 29 drifters were released in September 2008 and February 2009 at key locations south of the Bosphorus and in the central part of the sea. The spatial structures and temporal variability are described together with the atmospheric conditions of the Marmara Sea during the period of study. The behavior of drifters with respect to the wind was qualitatively analyzed. The pseudo-Eulerian velocity statistics were computed from the interpolated positions and maps of the mean currents were produced using the data sorted by experiment. The results are the first of their kind in the area and complement previous findings obtained by means of hydrographic and ADCP measurements. The overall surface flow is westward oriented from the Bosphorus Strait to the Dardanelles Strait. A jet-like flow that enters the Marmara Sea from the Bosphorus Strait and, meandering, crosses the sea prevailed during the entire study period.

  • From Fethiye to the Dardanelles
    From Fethiye to the Dardanelles Travel letter 2 - 2007 nd of April 2007 our contract was due at the jetty of Hotel Mediteran in Fethiye. Before leaving we had to build-in our new gearbox which arrived the second week of April. It was an expensive E and big job but, so far it didn’t give us a single problem anymore. After the gearbox came the dentist for Riens. He had an infection underneath the new molar bridge. So, finally with 3-week’s delay we left Fethiye on May 15. Our plan is to sail quickly north before the strong meltemi (northerly winds) start in early June. We stopped briefly in Marmaris for some repairs. There was a fuel leak in our Chinese generator and we had a damaged top runner of the mainsail. From Marmaris, we sailed (or more motor sailed) in dayhops north along the Turkey’s coast up to Iassos, a small town with a beautiful ancient site. The entrance was very narrow due to ancient sunken break waters and a Roman tower. At the opposite of the bay lays the small town Gülük, where we checked out of Turkey, because our 3-month visa was due again. Iassos harbour entrance with the sunken breakwater From Iassos we sailed to Pithagorion at Samos Island (Greece). Assuming the marina was still unfinished, like Rod Heikel’s pilot said we entered there in a force 6 and learned the marina was in full swing. Nice helpful staff, all facilities but of course according fees. Pithagorion Here we (officially) entered Greece again and were punished by doing so! According to the customs’ lady we entered Greece from a non EU-country so we had to pay €70, = although we had already a Greek Transit log.
