During 1991 large-scale excavations at Sagalassos continued for their second season from 13 July until 5 September. The work was directed by Professor Marc Waelkens (Dept. of Archaeology, Catholic University of Leuven). A total of 42 scientists from various countries (Belgium, Turkey, Great Britain, Germany and Portugal) as well as 25 local workmen (supervised by Mr. Ali Toprak) carried out the work. The team included 20 archaeologists, 4 illustrators (supervised by G. Evsever and R. Kotsch), 4 architect-restorers (directed by Prof. R. Lemaire and Dr. K. Van Balen), 3 cartographers (directed by Prof. F Depuydt), 2 geologists (directed by Prof. W. Viaene), 2 geomorphologists (Prof. J. De Ploey and Prof. E. Paulissen), 1 archaeozoologist (Dr. W. Van Neer), 1 anthropologist (Dr. Chr. Charlier), 2 restorers for the small finds (directed by Miss K. Norman) and 1 photographer (P. Stuyven). The Turkish Antiquities Department was represented by Muhammet Alkan from the Sivas Museum, whom we thank for his help. Financial support came from the Research Council of the Catholic University of Leuven, the Belgian Fund for Collective Fundamental Research (F.K.F.O.), the Belgian Programme on Interuniversity Poles of Attraction (I.U.A.P. no 28), the National Bank of Belgium, the ASLK/CGER Bank, the tour operator ORION, the car rental company Interleasing, the restoration company E. G. Verstraete & Vanhecke N. V., Agfa-Gevaert films and the association “Friends of Sagalassos”.

Archaeological Investigations in the Harbours of Burgaz, Turkey: 2011-2015 field seasons Greene, Elizabeth S.; Leidwanger, Justin; Tuna, Numan (Wiley, 2019-03-01) Between 2011 and 2015 archaeological fieldwork was conducted in the Archaic through Late Antique harbours associated with Burgaz on the Datca Peninsula in south-west Turkey. This work focused on survey and documentation of built features associated with the four harbours, limited stratigraphic excavation, and identification of shipwrecks and seafaring activity outside the harbours. The results offer new insights into the growth, expansion, and eventual abandonment of the port complex, its development alongs...
The water system at the upper city of Hasankeyf and its impact on urban settlement Oğuz, Eser Deniz; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2007) Hasankeyf, located in Upper Mesopotamia, southeastern Turkey with its environs at the floodplains of Tigris, welcomed many cultures in different periods. It has a very unique status with its difficult topography and distinctive outlook where spatial urbanization in almost every period must have been extraordinary, as well. The aim of this thesis is to study the water distribution system, specifically its relation to natural and man-made environment, at the Upper city of Hasankeyf, in order to identify the i...
Stability and change at cadir Hoyuk in central Anatolia: a case of Late Chalcolithic globalisation? Steadman, Sharon R.; McMahon, Gregory; Arbuckle, Benjamin S.; von Baeyer, Madelynn; Smith, Alexia; Cihan, Burçin; Hackley, Laurel D.; Selover, Stephanie; Spagni, Stefano (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019-01-01) Scholars have recently investigated the efficacy of applying globalisation models to ancient cultures such as the fourth-millennium BC Mesopotamian Uruk system. Embedded within globalisation models is the 'complex connectivity' that brings disparate regions together into a singular world. In the fourth millennium BC, the site of cadir Hoyuk on the north-central Anatolian plateau experienced dramatic changes in its material culture and architectural assemblages, which in turn reflect new socio-economic, soci...
Chemical concentrations and elements size distributions of aerosols in the eastern Mediterranean during strong dust storms Gullu, GH; Olmez, I; Tuncel, G (1995-10-07) In 1993 three strong dust episodes occurred in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin during the rainy season September and October. During dust episodes, and at normal conditions in order to compare dust and non-dust period, daily PM-10 aerosol samples and weekly six stage size separated aerosol samples were collected at Antalya, an eastern Mediterranean location. Both PM-10 and impactor samples were analysed for 40 elements by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Wind trajectories were examined and the dust...
A spatial inquiry into western Anatolian urban centers: Tire in the making Caner Yüksel, Çağla; Bakırer, Ömür; Department of Architecture (2009) Western Anatolia witnessed a crucial and eventful period between the end of the 13th and the middle of the 15th centuries. The region stood in a critical position giving way to trade between East and West, located at the junction of the sea and land routes. This following study concentrates on a crucial aspect of Western Anatolia within these circumstances on the rise, through the 14th and 16th centuries. That is to say, this thesis focuses on the establishment and remodeling of the urban centers in Western...
