Such studies have mainly focused on the attestations of synoikismos events in literary sources and inscriptions. The archaeological side of such processes has not always been given equal weight. This paper presents a more encompassing view on patterns of synoikismos and polis formation by incorporating and assessing archaeological evidence in a model of push-pull interactions between local communities and the Hellenistic kingdoms in southwest Anatolia. This model will be applied on a case study of the origin of polis at Sagalassos and its relation with the nearby settlement at Düzen Tepe during its formative years in the Early to Middle Hellenistic period (3rd–2nd centuries B.C.). It will then situate this case in its wider context of settlement patterns and community formation in southwest Anatolia, focusing on the ancient regions of Pisidia, Lycia, and Pamphylia. The paper suggests that interactions between local communities and overarching central administrations offered suitable stimuli that resulted in local communities starting to participate in wider dynamics of economic and political importance. This ultimately resulted in observed patterns of polis formation and a potential synoikismos.

Versatile-in-All-Trades: Multifunctional Boron-Doped Calcium-Deficient Hydroxyapatite Directs Immunomodulation and Regeneration Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Akbaba, Sema; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2022-07-11) © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Osseointegration of implants depends on several intertwined factors: osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and immunomodulation. Lately, novel reinforcements allowing faster bonding with osseous tissue have been explored intensively. In this study, we hypothesized the use of boron as a major multifunctional ion to confer versatility to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (cHA) synthesized by a wet precipitation/microwave reflux method. By synthesis of boron-doped cal...
Synthesis of a Novel and More Sustainable Cationic Bleach Activator, N-[4-(N, N, N)-Triethylammoniumchloride-butanoyl] Butyrolactam, for Cotton: Optimization and Theoretical Limitations Altay, Pelin; Yıldırım, Erol; Gürsoy, Nevin Çiğdem; Hauser, Peter J.; El-Shafei, Ahmed (2022-04-11) © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Activated bleach systems have the potential to produce more efficient kinetically potent bleaching systems through increased oxidation rates with reduced energy cost and less time, hence causing less cellulose polymer chain damage or degradation than conventional hot peroxide bleaching. This article presents a study at the molecular level of a novel and more sustainable cationic bleach activator for cotton than aromatic-based cationic bleach activators u...
Simultaneous Crystallization and Strain Induction Enable Light-Emitting Germanium Nano/Microbridges for Infrared Lasers Unlu, Buse; Ghasemi, Milad; Yerci, Selçuk; Boztug, Cicek (2022-04-22) © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Tensilely strained germanium has been considered a suitable material platform for the realization of a monolithically integrated infrared laser that could allow the development of miniaturized photonic integrated circuits. The crystalline quality of germanium is one of the concerns in this regard since it has to be in the high-quality single-crystal form to endure the required amounts of tensile strain so that the material turns into a gain medium. For t...
Differential Behavior of Metal Sulfides in Hydrothermal Plumes and Diffuse Flows Estes, Emily R.; Berti, Debora; Findlay, Alyssa J.; Hochella, Michael F.; Shaw, Timothy J.; Yücel, Mustafa; De Carlo, Eric H.; Luther, George W. (2022-06-16) © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Extensive sampling of high-Temperature hydrothermal fluids and diffuse flows within <2 m of the vent orifices at the 9°50′N East Pacific Rise (EPR) hydrothermal vent field reveals formation of nanoparticulate phases and rapid precipitation/aggregation of metal sulfide minerals upon mixing of vent fluid with ambient seawater. Here, we characterize metal sulfide phases via scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) in addition to quantifying ...
Plasmonic light-management interfaces by polyol-synthesized silver nanoparticles for industrial scale silicon solar cells Birant, Gizem; Öztürk, İbrahim Murat; Doğanay, Doğa; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Bek, Alpan (2020-01-01) © 2020 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Plasmonic interfaces are used as an alternative and highly effective light management technique for solar cells. Topdown approaches produce well-ordered and carefully designed plasmonic structures for tailor-made light management; however, they are costly, and their fabrication is time-consuming. Thus, their utilization for industrial-scale solar cells is not trivial. It has been shown that dewetting is a cost- and time-effective bottom-up approach for t...
