The present study is dedicated to some of the finds from a type of
archaeological structures that are specific to the Classical and
Hellenistic necropolis of Apollonia: the so-called "ritual
fireplaces". These are remains of rituals carried out in the
necropolis and related to food consumption or offerings and libations
for the dead. Ritual fireplaces are usually discovered between the graves, most
often next to stone walls and other structures delimiting burials or
groups of burials.
The repertoire of finds from the ritual fireplaces
comprises mainly pottery: mostly black-glaze and plain vases, rarely
painted (red-figure) ones. The shapes are mainly for serving food. Less represented are terracotta figurines, metal items, funerary
wreaths, etc.
It
should be emphasized that the scope of the present study is modest:
it analyzes only 45 out of hundreds of ritual fireplaces investigated
in the necropolis of Apollonia in the last three decades. The
analysis of several dozen fireplaces aims to partially fill a gap in
the existing literature dealing with black-glaze pottery from the
Bulgarian Black Sea coast.The monography comprises an introduction and three main chapters: Chapter I. Black-glaze pottery from the ritual fireplaces in the necropolis of Apollonia: Types and chronology, Chapter II. Catalogue of the black-glaze pottery with a commentary on the context (some 400 vases from investigations in Kalfata, Budzhaka, and Mesarite localities), and Chapter III. Other pottery. The conclusion discusses specific and the general problems of the pottery in the fireplaces, problems of chronology, and an attempt to bind archaeological evidence with historical processes.

The present work is dedicated to the most valuable and representative
numismatic monuments, a dream and pride for every museum and
collector – the gold staters of the ancient Greek colony of
Pantikapaion (now the city of Kerch), issued in the 4th century BC
and the autonomous gold staters of the West Pontic cities issued in
the Early Hellenistic Period.
The book consists of two parts.
The first part covers the golden staters of the Western Pontic
cities: Mesambria, Odessa, Callatis, Tomis and Istros. The second
part is dedicated to the most expensive gold staters in the
numismatic world, those of the Greek colony Pantikapaion, issued in
the 4th century BC. The presence of gold coinage in these cities is
indisputable evidence of their importance and prosperity during the
Late Classical and Early Hellenistic Periods. Each of the two parts
is presented with a separate catalogue. All staters known and
available to the author from museums and private collections, from
auction catalogues and internet pages have been published. In the
proposed catalogues, the examined coins are systematized by
chronology, the numbers of the obverse and reverse stamps, their full
metric parameters, the position of the stamps in relation to the coin
core, the current location of each specimen and the publication in
which the respective mint was first mentioned are identified and
indicated. All specimens included in the catalogues are illustrated
with color photographs in real size. Where possible, the last known
price at which the specimen was sold is also indicated.

Die urgeschichtliche Fundstelle Schwarzenbach-Burg (Niederösterreich)
ist seit 30 Jahren Gegenstand intensiver und interdisziplinär
ausgerichteter archäologischer Forschung. Auf dem markanten Hügel
lag in der Späten Eisenzeit eine 15 Hektar umfassende Höhensiedlung,
die mit einer Wall-Grabenanlage mit Pfostenschlitzmauer befestigt
war. Die Siedlung befand sich in strategisch günstiger Position am
Rand der Oberpullendorfer Bucht, einem Zentrum spätlatènezeitlicher
Eisengewinnung und Verhüttung. Die bisherigen Forschungsergebnisse
stützen die Einordnung der Anlage Schwarzenbach-Burg als Zentralort
im Sinne eines spätlatènezeitlichen Oppidums. Neben der
eisenzeitlichen konnten weit ältere Besiedlungsphasen aus dem
Neolithikum und der Bronzezeit festgestellt werden. Im vorliegenden
Band zu den Forschungen in Schwarzenbach werden die Ergebnisse der
interdisziplinären Projekte aus den Jahren 1992 bis 2008 vorgelegt.
Neben den Grabungsergebnissen werden die Prospektionsmessungen und
weiterführende naturwissenschaftliche Studien präsentiert.

With its 8500 kilometers of coastline stretching from the
Mediterranean to the Black Sea, Turkey constitutes one of the most
important geographies in the history of civilization. The maritime
phenomenon was discovered tens of thousands of years ago on these
coasts, where people have lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
Paleolithic remains found in Karain and Beldibi Caves in Antalya and
Keldağ-Üçağızlı Caves in Hatay suggest that people who went to
Crete and Cyprus, were from Anatolia, the closest coast. More than a
thousand obsidian tools of Nevşehir origin, dating back at least ten
thousand years, were found in the Northern Cyprus Tatlısu-Çiftlikdüzü
excavations. People provided the transportation between the islands
and the mainland with primitive sea vehicles. The most concrete
example of this type of vehicle emerged in Anatolia, and wooden canoe
paddles dated 8000 years ago were found in Istanbul Yenikapı. It is
not surprising that the world’s oldest ships are found in such a
geography. In Antalya, the Gelidonya Shipwreck dated to 1200 BCE was
found in 1960, the Kaş-Uluburun shipwreck dated to the 14th century
BCE in 1984, and the Kumluca shipwreck, which dates back to 16-15th
BCE centuries in 2018. Both the shores of these seas and lakes &
streams have witnessed the existence of many known and unknown
cultures and their relations with each other for a long time.
The seas separating
Asia, Europe, and Africa simultaneously connected these continents
through maritime means. Today, investigating these unknowns under the
water is carried out within the framework of the discipline of
Underwater Archaeology. Turkey is among the leading countries in the
world both in the academic field and in the framework of underwater
excavations and researches. This book has been prepared in order to
put all the major studies done in Turkey on the map.

(eds.), A predecessor & two successors. Halil Edhem Eldem, Aziz Ogan, Arif Müfid Mansel. Regarding the three deceased directors of Istanbul Archaeological Museums who crossed paths(Turkish Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Institute publications, 025)Istanbul 2022ISBN 978-625-7922-36-4164 S./pp., zahlr. Farbabb./num. colour-figs., 27 x 20 cm; broschiert/softcover
This book, prepared by Tarkan Kahya and Tuğçe Akbaytogan, deals
with the long institutional history of the Istanbul Archaeological
Museums, especially the transition period from the Ottoman Empire to
the Turkish Republic. Considering that the majority of the works on
our museum history have solely focused on Osman Hamdi Bey, that is,
the “foundation period” of the Istanbul Archaeological Museums,
it is clear how important a study that tackles the history of the
museum after Osman Hamdi Bey, in the light of documents from the
institution’s archive.
In the first part of
A Predecessor & Two Successors, the early history of Istanbul
Archaeological Museums is examined around the concept of
predecessors, and the well- known establishment phase of the museum
is explained. In the aftermath of Osman Hamdi Bey’s passing, we are
witnessing the “Organization Period”, that is, the term of Halil
Edhem (Eldem) – Osman Hamid’s right-hand and brother, and
successor – in the museum.
In the second part
on “Successors”, which started with the departure of Osman Hamdi
Bey and his brother from the management of the Istanbul
Archaeological Museums, we delve into the works of Aziz Ogan, who was
the successor after Halil Edhem Bey, who have further developed the
organization in the institution. Lastly, we learn about the life and
works of Arif Müfid Mansel, who chose Istanbul University over the
museum.
Atilla Engin – Kutalmiş Görkay (eds.), Archaeology of Gaziantep from prehistoric times to the late antiquity(Turkish Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Institute publications, 021)Istanbul 2022ISBN 978-625-7922-38-8424 S./pp., zahlr. Farbabb./num. colour-figs., 27 x 20 cm; kartoniert/hardcover
Gaziantep is a transitional region located between Mesopotamia, the
Eastern Mediterranean, and Anatolia in the northwestern part of the
Fertile Crescent extending towards the Syrian plains, south of the
Southeastern Taurus Mountains bordering the Anatolian Peninsula. For
this reason, Gaziantep has been an important living area and
crossroads in human history since prehistoric times, with its fertile
lands on which it is located and its transition position between the
regions. Although centers such as Dülük, Sakçagözü, Tilmen
Höyük, Zincirli Höyük, Karkemish, Til Bashar, Gaziantep Kale
Höyüğü, Oylum Höyük, and Zeugma, which are located within
and around the province of Gaziantep, have been excavated for many
years and reveal important archaeological results, this region is not
yet known enough. The continuation of archaeological research and
excavations in Gaziantep and its surroundings is of great importance
in this respect.
The vast fertile
lands around the city of Gaziantep witnessed cultural, political,
religious, and military interactions in antiquity. Situated on
crossroads from the beginning of the Early Iron Age, the area was
settled uninterruptedly by diverse ethnicities. This enabled the
emergence of new cultural syntheses that comprised of Mesopotamian,
Persian, Syrian, Greek, Macedonian and Latin elements. This book not
only includes the results of recent archaeological investigations and
research, but also provides the reader with a general overview of the
region in antiquity.
