The main aim of this study is to understand the political, economic and social position of Burgaz (Palaia Knidos) settlement within the Datça Peninsula from Geometric to Hellenistic Period. Through the examination of archaeological evidence obtained from the excavations conducted at Burgaz, combined with the survey data of Datça Peninsula recorded by Prof. Dr. Numan Tuna in early 1980s this dissertation endeavors to explain the processes took place at Burgaz and the peninsula. Methodology of the research is based on settlement pattern analysis supported by theoretical background of the polis concept. The evaluation of site distribution through time and space revealed the formation processes of Burgaz, its hinterland and the peninsula. The results of the study indicate that even though Burgaz may not appear to be a polis in sense of the idealized concept, urbanization and state formation processes, which are accepted as two main indicators of polis formation, can be observed through settlement pattern analyses. Based on the outcomes, Burgaz may be identified as the social, political and economic urban center of the peninsula until the synoikismos took place after 360 BC.

The Demographic Development of the First Farmers in Anatolia
Kilinc, Gulsah Merve; et. al. (2016-10-10)
The archaeological documentation of the development of sedentary farming societies in Anatolia is not yet mirrored by a genetic understanding of the human populations involved, in contrast to the spread of farming in Europe [1-3]. Sedentary farming communities emerged in parts of the Fertile Crescent during the tenth millennium and early ninth millennium calibrated (cal) BC and had appeared in central Anatolia by 8300 cal BC [4]. Farming spread into west Anatolia by the early seventh millennium cal BC and q...
The role of secularization within the Turkish nation-state building process
Sarı, Özgür; Okyayuz, Mehmet; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2004)
The objective of this study is to analyze the role of secularization within the Turkish nation-state building process between the late 19th and the early 20th century; hereby an emphasis will also be on the relations between the state and religion. This study will consider the Religious Affairs Directory as the key institutional actor in this process. This institutional reflection of secularization will be studied as an interesting case of state controlled social change on and over religion in society. The ...
UNDERSTANDING THE USE OF BYZANTINE ROUTES IN CENTRAL ANATOLIA (CA. 7TH-9TH CENTURIES)
Kaya, Tulin (2019-01-01)
This paper mainly focuses on the impact of the change in the political equilibrium in the East caused by the effects of the Arab invasions on the main communication routes in Byzantine Central Anatolia. Beginning in the 640s and continuing for over 150 years, these incursions had an impact on the ways in which major routes in and through the new frontier zone were used, reflecting in part the fact that during this period the Taurus mountain range constituted the natural frontier between the Byzantines and t...
