(with K. Hattersley-Smith) A Byzantine City near Osmaniye (Dalaman) in Turkey. A preliminary report
In the autumn of 1986, we visited the Carian and Lycian coasts with a view to identifying urban sites of the Byzantine period. One of the sites we visited lies about 1 km. to the south of the small village of Osmaniye and to the east of the Baba dağ ridge (О-This site was visited by nineteenth and twentieth century travellers and scholars( 2 ), and Louis Robert, in 1937, studied the available evidence and tried to identify the site, but without ever visiting it( 3 ).
A Byzantine Settlement in Kalabaklı Valley in the Hellespontus: Kepez
Höyük, 2012
The Hellespont stood out with its geographical location in the production-consumption and shopping relationships between the Aegean and the Marmara regions in the close distance and between the Black Sea and the Mecliterranean regions in the long clistance in the Byzantine period. The geographical characteristics of the strait displayed three distinct characters. The common feature of the Byzantine coastal cities and settlements in these three regions is that they had a port on the shore of the strait. These ports were generally located at the mouth of the valleys formed by the streams that had reached the Hellespontl. We are conducting a project to detect the finds of the Byzantine period and to understand the setdement models on these valleys. The data we obtained from these project studies indicate that the valleys had been densely settled in the Byzantine period. It is understood that one of the densely settled valleys in the Byzantine period was the Kalabakh Valley (Fig.1) on the Anatolian shore of the middle section of the strait. During our surveys, considerable ceramic and roof covering materials of Byzantine period were documented in Kepez at the northwestern mouth of the Kalabakh Valley2. In addition, there are four coins of Byzantine period that were found in Kepez and conserved in Çanakkale Archaeology Museum, i.e. a half follis of Justin II and Queen Sophia3 (565-578) (Fig.19.1), a half follis of Leo IV and Constantine VI (775-80) 4 (Fig.19.2) and two class A2 anonymous folles of Basil II (976-1025) 5 (Fig.19.3-4). The finding areas of the pottery and roof covering materials are concentrated in three different areas (Fig.2). The first one among them is an approximately 350-meter-long and 75meter-wide area on the shore of the Hellespont. In this area there are two units, which extend parallel to the coast in north-south direction and remain under water in the periods
Travelers and Painters on Byzantine-Seljuk-Ottoman Territory
This data base is developed as a by-product of the author's river-research titled The Evolution of the Ottoman House . 4 parts of this independent work, which is evolving into a book , have been published as conference proceedings and articles. The study started with a research presented at the Conservation and Implementation of Wooden Structures Symposium of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, KUDEB (Conservation, Implementation, Supervision Bureau) and was published in Turkish and English in the proceedings book. Although this presentation has a distinctive structure in itself, it was understood that some sections should be examined and detailed. These were the problems of how the transition from the Byzantine house to the Ottoman house was and why the " çardak", an Iranian masonry building style, was started to be used for wooden structures by the Ottomans . The findings and propositions of this research were published as two separate articles. During all these studies, it was seen that the limited research and publications of architectural historians could only provide healthy clues for the recent times, since the house was always overshadowed by monumental structures. On the other hand, we were experiencing that the Ottoman houses that we restored had evolved through testing/error processes that stretch back far back . Evolutionary processes, on the other hand, could only be read on a very limited number of 18th and 19th buildings that survived and were not damaged by restorations. Another important source for a full understanding of the process was the results of archaeological research. We saw that the architectural whole, which we call the Ottoman house, dates back to the Neolithic in the Eastern Balkans and Anatolia. On the other hand, it was seen that the Turks (Seljuks and Turkmens) had never used such a wooden structure system before Anatolia, that the Ottoman house (Anatolia) was local and spread to Anatolia and the Balkans, especially after its development in Constantinople . These processes would also need to be carefully studied. The research had to cover not only Ottoman lands but also pre-Eastern Roman, Byzantine and Seljuk civil architectures. Still, archeology, history, architecture and art history, and the buildings themselves were insufficient to fully read the process. For example, there were important gaps that could not be filled, such as the period when Byzantium was interrupted by the Latin Empire. The reason why the Ottomans continued the wooden building system in Constantinople despite the great fires was another paradox that we had difficulty in understanding. As you move away from the capital, there is very little documentation about the Ottoman house. We should have also investigated the emergence and spread of the Ottoman house as a concept. At this point, it was understood that travelogues and engravings could provide clues to complete the missing links. Based on this need, we started to examine the previously studied travel books. For this purpose, it turned out that travelogues should be read as much as possible and their traces should be sought in any secondary source. In some travel books, the traveler's references to previous travelers not only enabled the author to reach another first source that had not been noticed before, but also gave important clues about the changes in the structure in question over time. The process of using travelogues and engravings to write the history of the Ottoman house was presented as a paper in Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina). While it is thought that the development of the Ottoman house ended due to the transition from wood to masonry due to fires, especially in Constantinople , 18.-19. We have come to the conclusion that the notables, who emerged as a necessity in the centuries and became stronger, extended their lives with the ayan palaces they erected or gathered using the architectonics of the Ottoman house. The presentation will be included as a chapter in the proceedings book of the symposium. The fifth and final river-studies will cover the development of the house in the Balkans and Anatolia from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages, based on archaeological research. It has been shaped as a by-product of the database we share in this process. The database we have prepared with Excel is constantly updated, corrected and developed. In the last column, accessible primary sources are given in APA format (as far as possible). Secondary sources are given collectively in another bibliography at the end of this report. We are currently publishing the bibliographies as PDF ( Portable Document File ) while avoiding our copyrights to some extent . We archive the PDFs of the accessible first and second references as big data and index them using Adobe Acrobat program.

Actual Problems of Theory and History of Art, 2021
The restoration work carried out by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Imathia at the Old Metropolitan Cathedral in Veria has restored for the city its most important Byzantine church, a monumental palimpsest that recorded centuries of the history of the city and its people 1. The Middle Byzantine three-aisled basilica with transept was renovated by the Despots of Epirus and again during the era of the Palaiologan Dynasty. It was converted into a mosque around the turn of the 17 th century and remained Veria's great imperial mosque until the liberation of the city in 1912 [53, pp. 134-245, 265-271]. The first conservation and exploratory excavation work began in the 1960s [13, pp. 249-250] and continued, albeit limited in scope and duration, until systematic restoration work on the monument eventually began (Ill. 32). This essay presents sculptures that came to light during the first phase of the investigations and the main phase of the restoration of the Old Metropolis in 2011-2015. They form a group with common stylistic features and are associated with a phase of renewal of the church's liturgical furnishings in the first two decades of the 14 th century, when the ecclesiastical seat of Veria was raised from an Archdiocese to a Metropolitan seat [44, pp. 58-59]. The group of sculptures in question was first discovered in the period 1978-1980, when Professor Theocharis Pazaras, curator of antiquities of the newly founded 11 th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities, noticed characteristic groups of cornices, columns and slabs while arranging the collection of sculptures stored in the twin Ottoman bath [45, p. 161]. In the following years, the group was enriched thanks to the research work conducted by Professor Efthy-1

The article discusses a building complex including a Greek cruciform structure identified by geoelectric resistivity survey just north of Vezirkopru in the region known in antiquity as Pontos. The initial discovery by the Nerik Excavation Project was followed by intense systematic archaeological survey by the Danish project Where East meets West, and the article publishes the results of this field work. The structures in the Papaz Tarlasi can be conjecturally interpreted as parts of an early Christian complex dating to the second half of the 5th century AD and presumably associated with the cult of a local martyr. The finds and the finds distribution appears to suggest that the martyrion was associated with consumption and some habitation.
The article considers a group of monuments of Christian architecture located in the northeastern part of the Black Sea region, the least studied archaeologically. In the Byzantine era, the southern part of Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation was the northern part of Abkhazia, which in the church relation was subordinate to the Patriarch of Constantinople. Ten churches of the 6 th-11 th centuries, which are in a state of ruins, have been studied here. They belong to different architectural types: two basilicas, two domed churches, one cross-shaped and five one-nave churches. Several architectural fragments testify to buildings unknown to us. The most important domed churches (Loo, Vesyoloe) closely followed the Byzantine tradition, other structures differed in local features, for example, the Lesnoe basilica 1. Many features of the churches examined reveal their proximity to the architectural monuments of neighboring Abkhazia and Alania, also closely connected with Byzantium.
