    Art and Construction Related Qualities of 14th‒15th Century Monuments in a Rural Landscape on the Western Coast of Türkiye
    (KeAi Communications Co., 2024) Hamamcıoğlu Turan, Mine; Aktaş, Engin; Toköz, Özge Deniz
    This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of art and construction in the early settlements established by Turkish communities on the far west Asian coast by focusing on two developed examples in Urla Peninsula. Conventional surveying and evaluation techniques of architectural restoration and civil engineering were utilized. Key findings include the understanding of the hierarchy of rural settlements in the studied landscape: old Çesme the most developed village of peninsula in the 16th century. It was positioned along a valley in distance to coast, but in control of harbor that played significant role in commerce between Europe and Asia. Its mosque and tomb, dated to late 14th – early 15th centuries, used to crown it. Cylindrical minaret tower of mosque, domed tomb tower on a cubical base and squinch in the transition zone of mosque are evidences for Central Asian roots. Usage of local lime stone, re-usage of andesite blocks, framing of the stone blocks with bricks, and pendentive in tomb refer to Roman-Byzantine constructions. The study presents the development of Turkish art and construction on the far west Asian coast in the 14th‒15th centuries. Findings will be a guide for related conservation management in similar contexts. © 2024 The Author(s)

    Anastilosis: Antik Tapınak Kalıntılarının Ayağa Kaldırılmasının Özgünlük Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
    (2023) Toköz, Özge Deniz; İpekoğlu, Başak
    Arkeolojik alanların korunması ve sunumunda sıklıkla tercih edilen uygulamalardan biri olan anastilosis, yapıların dağılmış özgün parçalarının yerlerine yerleştirilerek ayağa kaldırılmasıyla gerçekleştirilen bir uygulamadır. Uygulamanın temel ilkesi, özgün yapı elemanlarının özgün yerlerine yerleştirilmesidir. Uygulama sayesinde yapıların strüktürel bütünlüğü geri kazandırılır, özgün elemanlar için daha iyi koruma sağlanır, kalıntılar ziyaretçiler için daha anlamlı üç boyutlu hale getirilir ve arkeolojik alanın daha iyi bir sunumu sağlanır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Batı Anadolu’daki tapınak yapılarındaki anastilosis uygulamalarını analiz ederek ve değerlendirerek arkeolojik alanlardaki yapıların korunmasına ve sunumuna katkıda bulunmaktır. Bu amaçla, anastilosis uygulamasının ilkeleri özgünlük kavramı çerçevesinde incelenerek seçilen iki antik dönem tapınak yapısında gerçekleştirilen anastilosis uygulamaları, uygulamadan sonra yapıların arkeolojik alanın bütünü içinde özgünlüğü, malzeme özgünlüğü, strüktür sistemi ve yapım tekniği özgünlüğünün sürdürülmesi ölçütleri çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Bu yapılar; Pergamon Traian Tapınağı (MS 114-129, Bergama, İzmir) ve Letoon Leto Tapınağı’dır (MÖ 160-130, Kumluova, Seydikemer, Muğla). Yapılan değerlendirmede, ayağa kaldırılacak olan yapının arkeolojik alanla bütünlüğünün ve yapının özgün durumundaki konumuna geri kavuşturulmasının önemine dikkat çekilmiştir. Ayağa kaldırılacak yapının alanda yepyeni bir görüntü oluşturmaması için özgün malzemesi fazla oranda günümüze ulaşmış yapılar ya da yapı bölümleri seçilmelidir. Yapının strüktürel bütünlüğü geri kazandırılırken, özgün strüktür sistemi ve yapım tekniği sürdürülmeli ya da yapı elemanlarına zarar vermeyecek yeni strüktür sistemi tasarlanmalıdır.

    20. yüzyıl dönümünde Gölde (İncesu): Tarihsel ve mekansal bir okuma
    (2023) Eken Güney, Esra; Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Aksu Kılıç, Leyla
    Gölde, günümüzdeki adıyla İncesu, Manisa İli, Kula İlçesi’ne bağlı kırsal bir yerleşimdir. Günümüzde nüfusunu büyük oranda kaybeden ve çoğunlukla yaşlıların yaşadığı yerleşim 19. yüzyıl boyunca ve 20. yüzyılın başında Müslüman Türk ve Ortodoks Rumların ortak yaşam alanı olmuştur. Savaş sonrasında Rumların yerleşimi terk etmesinin ardından zaman içerisinde köyden kentlere doğru artan göç hareketleriyle Gölde büyük ölçüde nüfus kaybına uğramış, buna bağlı olarak da yapılı çevrede bir dönemki ortak yaşama dair izler yok olmaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışma, Gölde’de iki topluluğun birlikte yaşadığı dönemi; Osmanlı arşiv vesikaları, sözlü tarih çalışmaları ve saha incelemelerinden gelen veriler ışığında çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Büyük oranda özgünlüğünü koruyarak günümüze gelebilen yapılı çevre ile sözlü tarih çalışmaları ekonomik ve sosyal hayatı anlamanın yanında, yüzyıl dönümündeki fiziksel çevreyi de anlamamıza olanak sağlamaktadır. Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri yapılı çevreye dair bilgi vermemekle birlikte 19. yüzyılın özellikle ilk yarısındaki ekonomik ve sosyal durumun değişimini aktarmaktadır. Bu veriler aynı zamanda sözlü görüşmelerden gelen çoğu bilginin yorumlanmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu sebeple metin içerisinde kronolojik bir sıra takip edilmemiş, yüzyıl dönümüne odaklanılmış, gerekli yerlerde 19. yüzyıla ait arşiv verileri çağırılarak sözlü görüşmelerden ve alan çalışmasından gelen bilgilerle birlikte değerlendirilmiştir.

    Characteristics and Production Technologies of Byzantine Building Bricks From the Anaia Church in Western Anatolia
    (Springer, 2023) Çam, Elif; Uğurlu Sağın, Elif
    Fired bricks were valued as essential building materials in the central tradition of Byzantine architecture in Constantinople (Istanbul), Anatolia, and the Balkans. In this study, Byzantine bricks from three construction periods, covering nearly nine centuries (fifth-fourteenth centuries), of Anaia Church (Kadikalesi) in Western Anatolia were investigated to determine their characteristics, raw material properties, and production technologies. The characteristics of the bricks were evaluated and compared in order to identify similarities and differences between the periods and to investigate the continuity of the tradition of brick production over centuries. Basic physical and colorimetric properties, chemical and mineralogical compositions, thermal behavior, and microstructural and mechanical properties of bricks were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and mechanical tests. The results indicated that all the bricks in the Anaia Church were brown-beige colored, highly porous, low-density materials with low mechanical strength. They were produced from Ca-rich clays, probably obtained from two different sources used during all construction periods. The mineralogical composition and thermal properties revealed that the bricks from the first and second periods were fired at between 800 and 900 & DEG;C and the bricks from the third period were fired at < 850 & DEG;C. Greater calcium content and firing temperatures were found to reduce the total porosity and the number of small pores (< 10 & mu;m) and increase the mechanical strength of the bricks. The results of the study revealed no significant differences in the production of bricks, including raw material sources and kiln conditions, for the different construction periods of the church.

    Defining the Impacts of Historical Development Activities on Urban Heritage of Iskenderun (alexandretta)
    (Konya Teknik Üniversitesi, 2023) Nalça Kıssaboylu, Canan; Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Rifaioğlu, Mert Nezih
    Iskenderun, also known as Alexandretta in antiquity, has long been a strategically significant port city in the Eastern Mediterranean thanks to its natural harbour. Due to its advantageous location, the settlement began to rapidly urbanize after the mid-19th century as a result of the impacts of Ottoman and later the French Mandate period development activities. This article focuses on defining the influences of historical development activities on the urban heritage of Iskenderun by understanding and evaluating various efforts that lie behind the formation of the city as an important trade centre and port city connecting the Middle East, Asia Minor, and Europe. By doing so, the formation, development and transformation of the settlement are chronologically deciphered regarding its historical turning points: the mid-19th century Ottoman period, the beginning of the French Mandate period (1919), and the joining of Iskenderun to the Republic of Turkiye (1939). Accordingly, the characteristics of the urban form, the ways these characteristics were transformed, and the problems and strategies encountered within different periods are decoded. This decoding employed a combined methodology, including historical interpretation and case study research methods. The results of the study reveal that Iskenderun has experienced different solutions for problems of infrastructure within the different periods, as a reflection of different political understandings and public and social needs among those periods.

    (Istanbul University Press, 2023) Saribekiroǧlu, Ş.; Kul, F.N.
    Barbaros is a rural settlement in Urla, Izmir, Turkey. This study aims to understand the architectural elements of Barbaros houses with a single-living space, their spatial organization, relation with daily life, and the local terminology for them. Moreover, it is aimed to reveal possible similarities and dissimilarities between architectural elements of other singleliving space rural houses in different settlements in close geography. The site survey data was collected in 2016, 2017, and 2020. Fourteen houses were examined, all of which still preserve their original spatial characteristics and architectural elements. The plans and architectural elements of each of the 14 buildings were documented in sketches and photographs. The architectural elements of each house and their characteristics, including form, material, and location in space, were analyzed. The Barbaros case was compared with other rural settlements in Çeşme, Karaburun and Urla. Oral interviews were conducted with 13 people to reveal the relationship between architectural elements and daily life. © 2023 The Author(s).

    On-Site Measurements of Temperature and Humidity Conditions for the Comparison of Urban and Rural Sub-Spaces of Traditional Settlements: Historical City of Mugla, Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis, 2023) Timur, Barış Ali; Başaran, Tahsin; İpekoğlu, Başak
    One of the significant processes that ensures realistic determination of the energy needs of historical buildings is case-specific definition of their local microclimatic conditions. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to determine differences for the parameters of temperature and humidity in urban and rural sub-settlements of the historical city, Mugla/Turkey. Study method consists of on-site measurements of these variables in sub-settlements for comparisons. As a result, it was identified urban zone shows heat island characteristics with warmer, drier, and more stable conditions; while rural sub-settlement remains cooler, more humid, and more erratic. In parallel, calculated extents of these differences demonstrate the significance and necessity of on-site measurements and consequential microclimatic zoning of historical cities as conservation/planning tools for responding to the thermal needs of architectural heritage. A key application of these processes would be the establishment of local databases of case-specific weather data to be used in thermal simulation assessments.

    Characteristics of Byzantine-Period Lime Mortars and Plasters From the Anaia Church (kadikalesi)
    (Institute of Metals Technology, Ljubljana, 2022) Işık, Tuğçe; Uğurlu Sağın, Elif
    In this study, Byzantine- period lime mortars and plasters used in the Anaia Church in Ku degrees adasy- Aydyn were examined in order to determine their characteristics and investigate the continuity of the lime mortar technology through centuries in the Anaia Church. The results will also contribute to future conservation studies at the site. Basic physical properties, raw-material compositions and hydraulic properties of lime mortars and plasters; mineralogical and chemical compositions, microstructural properties of binders, aggregates and limes; and pozzolanic activities of aggregates were determined using RILEM test methods, XRD, SEM-EDS and TGA. Mortar samples were comprised of natural aggregates whereas lime plasters were made of brick aggregates. Analyses revealed that plasters were slightly less dense and more porous than mortars due to the porous structure of the brick aggregates. All mortars and plasters were hydraulic due to the use of highly reactive pozzolanic aggregates. The basic physical properties, raw-material compositions, mineralogical and chemical compositions of mortars and plasters were found to be similar throughout the construction periods spread over different centuries. These similarities revealed the conscious knowledge of the lime mortar technology during the Byzantine period in Western Anatolia.

    Ildırı’nın mekansal izlerinin peşinde: Bir 19. Yüzyıl yerleşim bulmacası
    (Türkiye Bilimler Akademisi TÜBA, 2020) Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Çil, Ela
    This paper aims to decipher the 19th century spatial characteristics of Ildırı which overlaps the archaeological remains of ancient Erythrai. This period corresponds to the Ottoman Empire’s last century when Ildırı was inhabited by Orthodox-Rum community. Ildırı experinced serious alterations and destructions during and after the population exchange. Due to both these changes and destructions as well as recent illegal construction activities, the original settlement pattern is almost disappeared in Ildırı. Increasing tourism pressure of recent years in an other factor that accelerates this disappearance. For this reason, in this paper, the spatial characteristics of 19th-century Ildırı is deciphered like a jig-saw puzzle; by tracing the clues about the place from different sources. This settlement puzzle based upon supporting the limited traces coming from the place with oral history studies and narratives of archaeologist travellers. The mentioned oral history studies composed of the narratives of both existing Turkish and former Rum inhabitants. The narratives of Rum inhabitants who experienced the pre-exchange period were obtained from the Centre of Asia Minor Studies in Athens. Interviews with Turkish inhabitants who witnessed the post-exchange period were conducted by the authors at different times between 2012 and 2014 in Ildırı. As the conclusion, the importance of oral history studies is emphasized in understanding the place, its recent history and spatial transformations of the settlements like Ildırı that experienced major transformations as well as a sharp social interruption with population exchange.
