Ottoman archaeology in Greece: a new research field (original) (raw)

The archaeology of Ottoman villages in central Greece: ceramics, housing and everyday life in Post-Medieval rural Boeotia

Studies in Honor of Hayat Erkanal: Cultural Reflections, edited by A. Erkanal-Oktu et al., 2006

This article offers a basic model and background methodological approaches to the establishment and development of Ottoman Archaeology in rural Greece, by presenting two surveyed ciftlik-estates in the region of Tanagra and their associated material culture (housing and surface ceramics). The site of Guinosati (6,5 kilometres southeast of Tanagra) and a group of four linked long-houses (here referred to as Bardzi) on the acropolis hill of the ancient Tariagra city-site comprise our present case-study of Ottoman villages dated between the 15th and 18th centuries.

Machiel Kiel is a pioneering and prominent figure in the study of Ottoman architecture in the Balkans. He has traveled and researched the area extensively since the late 1960s.The Ottoman monuments in Greece are studied by him beginning with an article on Thessaloniki, which was published in the Balkan Studies journal in 1970. Nowadays, more than half a century later, it is worthy to revisit the topic with the organization of an international conference in orde r to trace the current condition of fields such as the research and conservation of Ottoman architecture , urban formation, the history of the city, as well as both Ottoman and Christian art with a focus in Greece

Vionis, A.K. 2012. A 'Crusader', 'Ottoman', and 'Early Modern' Aegean Archaeology. Leiden: Leiden University Press

Archaeological Studies Leiden University 22, 2012

This ASLU volume examines the built environment and aspects of domestic material culture of the Late Byzantine/Frankish, Ottoman and Early Modern Cyclades in the Aegean (13th – 20th centuries). On the basis of primary archaeological data gathered by the Cyclades Research Project, this monograph’s aims are the reconstruction of everyday domestic life in towns and villages, the identification of socio-cultural identities that shaped or were reflected on pre-Modern material remains, and the history of island landscapes through the study of certain aspects of material culture. Aspects of ‘material culture’ analysed in this study include settlement layout (fortified settlements and undefended nucleated villages), domestic buildings (housing of urban character, peasant housing and farmsteads), ceramics (locally produced and imported glazed tableware), internal fittings (built structures and mobile fittings) and island-costumes (male and female dress codes).

‘Newsround’ offers a platform for the presentation of new data which do not appear within the specialist contributions of this year's Archaeological Reports, but which nevertheless warrant emphasis, either as a result of their particular characteristics or for the contribution they make to broader archaeological narratives. This section is not intended to be exhaustive; rather, it is designed to highlight recent discoveries in a way which complements digital content made available through AGOnline/Chronique des fouilles en ligne. The very varied nature of this material has meant that, for the most part, it has proved preferable to organize this section chronologically, although dedicated sections are provided for the inclusion of regional histories, marine archaeology and archaeological survey
