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, sociopolitical and ritual patterns at this rural agro-pastoral settlement. This study examines the complex connectivities of the ancient Uruk system, encompassing settlements in more consistent contact with the Uruk system such as Arslantepe in southeastern Anatolia, and how these may have fostered exchange networks that reached far beyond the Uruk 'global world' and onto the Anatolian plateau.

COLOURING AGENTS IN THE POTTERY GLAZES OF WESTERN ANATOLIA: NEW EVIDENCE FOR THE USE OF NAPLES YELLOW PIGMENT VARIATIONS DURING THE LATE BYZANTINE PERIOD KIRMIZI, BURCU; Göktürk, Emine Hale; Colomban, Ph. (Wiley, 2015-06-01) A group of the late 12th-13th century Byzantine pottery glazes, mostly related to Zeuxippus Ware Type pottery from the Kuadas Kadkalesi/Anaia site in western Anatolia, was characterized non-destructively using Raman spectrometry. SEM-EDX was also used complementarily for the glaze characterization. The nature and composition of the glazes, firing conditions, aspects of colour formation and pigments used were discussed. The glazes were found to be lead-rich silicates, fired close to 700 degrees C on the basi...
Myth, landscape and boundaries : the impact of the notion of sacredness of nature on Greek urbanism and architecture Pınar, Ekin; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of History of Architecture (2006) This thesis focuses on the impact of the notion of holiness of nature in ancient Greek thought and its reflection on urbanism and architecture with respect to the transformations that took place during the archaic period. The archaic period represented most fundamentally a shift from an era where everything was on the move to an era of territorialism which culminated in the establishment of the polis and the Greek temple. This shift was prominent in the sense that it pointed not only to a basic modification...
Agrarian Relations, Property and Law: An Analysis of the Land Code of 1858 in the Ottoman Empire Aytekin, Erden Attila (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Contrary to the prevalent tendencies of 'state-centrism' and legal formalism in the literature, this article studies the Ottoman Land Code of 1858 not as an initiator of trends but as a product of social change. The Code recognized private property on land, enlarged liberties of landholders, and pushed inheritance rules further towards gender equality. Deeply influenced by the uneven development of the capitalist relations of production, agrarian conflict, and the complex matrix of the interests of ruling g...
The display of hekatomnid power in karian settlements through urban imagery Üzel, Ayça; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2007) This thesis focuses on a distinctive period in Karian history marked by the Hekatomnid dynasty in the 4th century BC. The basic question is the ways in which the Hekatomnid power was reflected in the Karian settlement practices and urban imagery. In this regard Maussollos, the most well-known member of the Hekatomnid dynasty, and his policies, including vast building projects and synoikismoi activities, are important indicators in giving a hint on Karian political praxis for the solution of conjectural prob...
Deposition and dislocation of pottery as surface assemblages in semi-arid regions Tunçer, Aylin; Güvenç, Murat; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2005) This thesis aims to discuss the archaeological concerns about how surveys can provide data tht is meaningful to construct spatial patterning and its intricacies for inferences through altering processes diversified as cultural and natural processes. Along with that there is also a second concern dealing with the application of these theoretical issues to practical basis. It consists both methodological limits and also limits governed by the legislation of the particular area according to the aim of the stud...
