Traditional built-up environment, traditional life and ecological tissue that have been created in time by human beings are ignored on behalf of archeological assets in archeological areas on the rural settlements. However, the coexistence of archeological, architectural, ecological and traditional invariants must be preserved; this coexistence is a product of life style coming from early periods onwards. A unique scientific conservation approach should be developed for this kind of settlements in order to sustain this rich “wholeness”. The requirement of preparing management plan for conservation area is an indisputable reality today. Participated management planning approach is embraced for the rural archeological sites on which assets produced by human being in time. Case study chosen for the dissertation is Eskihisar (Stratoniceia) which is settled since early times but abandoned today because of the various reasons. At the initial phase of management planning, namely, data collection and evaluation phase in this study; new methods were introduced like web-based participation. As a tool a social networking website (Facebook) used by ordinary people extensively was employed in the web based participation model introduced as a new technique. Gathered qualitative data in this way was analyzed together with quantitative data collected from site survey, historic and contemporary sources. Thus, it was examined whether there is usage of a simple communication tool in participatory planning studies or not, and what is pros and cons.

Foreign-run excavations are a significant component of archaeological research in Turkey, however, conservation work carried out at these excavations has not been examined in a holistic manner. This research investigates archaeological conservation at foreign-run excavations to identify the scale and nature of differing contributions, and to determine changing approaches, issues impacting conservation practices, as well as possible catalysts, influences and driving forces. The thematic scope, ‘conservation ...
Evaluation of protective structures in archaeological sites for in situ conservation of achitectural remains and artifacts
Ertosun, Atiye Işıl; Özgönül, Nimet; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012)
Artifacts are moved to museums after the excavations in order to provide an indoor protection, while the immovable findings remain exposed to environmental conditions and human activity. In order to conserve these architectural remains made of vulnerable material, mosaics and wall paintings in situ, covering structures are designed offering temporary or long-term sheltering, preserving and exhibiting facilities. The aim of the study is to evaluate these protective structures. In this study, national and int...
