During July-‐August 2012, a team from DePauw par>cipated in the ÇalBlar Archaeological Project, operated by the Universi>es of Liverpool, Bristol, and Bursa Uludağ. Our purpose was to understand the Seki-‐Bekçiler basins (see maps above, at leO, and upper right) through survey of the landscape, seQlement sites, communica>on routes, and places of cult, burial, and art. For several years our Bri>sh and Turkish partners have been surveying the mound-‐site of ÇalBlar. This summer, we brought over a cen>meter-‐resolu>on GPS system, the Topcon GR-‐5 (at leO), so as to make a topographic map of another mound (Eceler) near Seki, and systema>cally collect poQery and finds from across that mound (through a sample of 5x5 m. squares) so we could study the periods and nature of its development (see map at right). The seQlements flourished in the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Hellenis>c-‐Roman periods, ca. 3200 BC-‐AD 500. We also found a stretch of ancient roadway west of ÇalBlar, and mapped the loca>on of an ancient sanctuary at Çaylaklıtepe (Chalcolithic onwards), as well as associated rock-‐art reliefs of the Roman period. Due to threats of marble quarrying and road-‐building, loo>ng, and deliberate vandalism at several of these loca>ons (see photo at leO), we hope to con>nue our work from 2013-‐15 to record as much of the monuments and evidence as possible before they disappear. The data is being stored and studied in ArcGIS, and we hope to get enough informa>on in the system that we may eventually be able to undertake some predic>ve modeling to suggest the loca>on of other sites in the area that are yet unknown, before they too come into danger of destruc>on. Meanwhile, we will also be studying the development of this area as a transi>on zone between the civiliza>ons of the Anatolian plateau to the northeast, and the cultures of the coast and the Mediterranean to the south and west.
