Perceptions of the Past in the Turkish Republic: Classical and Byzantine Periods
Bok av N. Ergin
The land of Turkey has not only yielded archaeological finds essential to the formation of the field of archaeology; these finds played a crucial role in the making of a national narrative in the transition from the late Ottoman Empire to the present-day Republic. The outcome of a symposium organized by Koc University's Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations in Istanbul, the essays in this volume critically engage with the constitution of Classical and Byzantine archaeology in Turkey, addressing such issues as the historical context of the production of knowledge, the roles of individuals and institutions in shaping scholarship, and the current and future state of the field.
