Chalcolithic religious practice at the site of cadir Hoyuk (central Anatolia) included the insertion of ritual deposits into the architectural fabric of the settlement, "consecrating" spaces or imbuing them with symbolic properties. These deposits are recognizable in the archaeological record by their consistent use of ritually-charged material, such as ochre, copper, human and animal bone, and certain kinds of ceramics. During the 800-year period considered in this paper, the material practice of making these ritual deposits remained remarkably consistent. However, the types of spaces where the deposits are made change as shifting social organization reforms the divisions between private and public space.

Assesing the Usage of Calcium and Magnesium Hydroxide Nanoparticles as Consolidant for Dolostones. Karahan Dağ, Fulya; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe (2018-12-01) Dolostone has been abundantly used in the construction of monuments during archaeological periods in Anatolia. Several of those monuments have some decay problems to be assessed and need conservation treatments to be developed. In the study, it was aimed to prepare a nanodispersive solution from the dolostone itself and follow its carbonation mineral phases in order to obtain a compatible consolidation treatment for dolostone. A mixture of calcium and magnesium hydroxide nanodispersive solution in ethyl alc...
Amasya Bimarhanesi’nin Tamamlanamayan Taçkapısı İnan Ocak, Zeynep; Tanyeli, Gülsün (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2019-12-31) Amasya Bimarhanesi’nin taçkapısının 1950’lerdeki onarımının, Türkiye’deki koruma yaklaşımları bağlamında ayrı bir önemi vardır. Onarımda taçkapının eksik kısmı tamamıyla bütünlenmemiştir. Bunun yerine yalnız bir köşesinden duvar kademeli olarak yükseltilmiştir. Onarımın yapıldığı tarihlerde henüz 7044 sayılı yasa yoktur ve Amasya Bimarhanesi’nin sorumluluğu Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü’nde (VGM) de değil; Maarif Vekâleti Eski Eserler ve Müzeler Genel Müdürlüğü’ne (EEMGM) aittir (2). Bu tarihlerde müdürlüğün Abi...

DEATH ON THE MARGIN: AN URBAN HISTORY OF LAND WALLS CEMETERIES IN ISTANBUL Polat, Fatıma İkbal; Yoncacı Arslan, Pelin; Department of History of Architecture (2023-2-8) Communal cemeteries of Istanbul were located outside the city’s borders in each historical period from Antiquity to the Byzantine and Ottoman times.

In Ottoman period, the land outside the Theodosian walls was established as the city’s legitimate burial place and continues its function to this day....
Kappadokia Bölgesi Osmanli Dönemi Kiliseleri: Örnekler, Sorunlar, Öneriler Pekak, M. Sacit (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2009-12-15) There were numerous churches and monasteries built during the Ottoman Period, in the region called Cappadocia, which holds the cities of Nevsehir, Nigde, Aksaray and Kayseri in Central Anatolia.
