Marie-Patricia Raynaud, Manière-Lévêque, A.-M.
Corpus of the mosaics of Turkey. 2 volumes set. Volume I: Lycia - Xanthos. Part 1: The East Basilica. Volume II: Xanthos. Part 2: The West area.
New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (32 x 24,5 cm). In English. 2 volumes set: (186 p.; 131p). Color and b/w ills. Vol 1: This first volume of the Mosaic Corpus of Turkey places her among the countries of the Mediterranean world and Western Europe publishing systematically the mosaic wealth in their own lands. The project followed the serious models of Recueil general des mosaìques de la Gaule and Mosaici antichi in Italia. The corpus project was initiated at a meeting of mosaic experts from six countries led by M. Sahin and D. Parrish and held at American Research Institute in Turkey, Istanbul, in 2004. The first volume of the project covers the mosaics from Xanthos. This volume prepared for publication by Marie-Patricia Raynaud presents, with all their phases, the floor pavements of the East Basilica employing very successfully both opus tessellatum and opus sectile techniques. Two more aspects of this work need to be underlined: first of all, the magnificent photographs and the successful reconstruction drawings and floor plans of the mosaics, which will provide the reader with a visual festivity. This volume with its publication and research quality is a strong start for the Mosaic Corpus of Turkey. This also means that a high standard is already established for the future monographs. Vol. 2: The present book forms the second volume in the Corpus of the Mosaics of Turkey, following upon the initial work on Xanthos published by Marie-Patricia Raynaud in 2009. This new volume broadens the documentation and appreciation of mosaic art in that city. Future monographs in the same series will turn to other archaeological sites in Turkey, whose vast mosaic treasures are gradually receiving the scholarly attention they deserve. This entire project originated at a meeting of mosaic experts from six countries led by M. Sahin and D. Parrish and held at the American Research Institute in Turkey at Istanbul in 2004. In this work, Anne-Marie Manière-Lévêque, a very experienced member of the French team that has been excavating at Xanthos for many years, carefully records and interprets mosaic pavements from the western part of Xanthos, which includes buildings with mosaic decoration on the Lycian Acropolis and in the "Roman" Agora. The pavements ornamented both domestic and religious structures, and they include several fine figural carpets in addition to geometric floors. The pavement techniques consist of both opus tessellatum and opus sectile, and chronologically they cover the late Antique and Early Byzantine periods. These floors complement the fine assortment of pavements found in the East Basilica inventoried in the first Xanthos volume. In both its text and rich illustration, the present work maintains the high standard of scholarship employed in the earlier volume, and all of this is underscored by the author's deep familiarity with the archaeological exploration of Xanthos. Both books in the series serve as models for future mosaic research in Turkey.

New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (22 x 12 cm). In English. 204 p. "To those who enquire how long the excavations at Magnesia are expected to continue O. Bingöl is in the habit of replying, "I have drawn up plans for the next 400 years but beyond that I haven't considered yet!" He does this to make it clear to everyone that the kind of work that will confront archaeologists at a site like Magnesia will never end and to emphasize the difficulties and problems he encounters in trying to carry out his plans. In this guide, we present the information about earlier researches on thesite as well as the results of Bingöl's first 23 years of excavations, the first phase of a very long program. Our aim is to present a clear picture of how different historical periods can be examined comprehensively in Magnesia, which was protected under the natural covering and thus not obliterated by the remains of more recent periods and cultures.".

MUSTAFA KOÇAK.
Aphrodite am Pfeiler. Studien zu aufgestützten / angelehnten weiblichen figuren der Griechischen marmorplastik.
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (28 x 20 cm). In German; and Turkish abstract. [x], 244 p., many b/w plates. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die aufgestützten/angelehnten weiblichen Figuren der griechischen Marmorplastik zum ersten Mal zusammengestellt und in zwei großen Abschnitten untersucht. Anhand der Stilanalysen sowie der Beobachtungen an technischen Aspekten konnten wichtige Ergebnisse erzielt werden. Darüber hinaus konnten die ästhetisch-formalen Aspekte des untersuchten Bildmotivs herausgearbeitet werden. Aus der nachparthenonischen Zeit stammen, neben den aufgestützten/angelehnten zahlreiche andere Standbilder der Aphrodite. Aufgrund der fehlenden oder unzureichenden archäologischen sowie inschriftlichen Zeugnisse und wegen der spärlichen Quellenlage kann nahezu keine von ihnen mit Sicherheit mit einem bestimmten Heiligtum resp. dessen Kultbild in eine direkte Verbindung gebracht werden, wie in der bisherigen Forschung wiederholt vorgenommen wurde. Man kann nur hoffen, dass in der Zukunft diesbezügliche Funde oder andersartige Belege auftauchen, die das heutige Bild verändern können. Nach der Mitte des 2. Jhs. v. Chr. brachte die hellenistische Kunst zahlreiche aufgestützte/angelehnte weibliche Figuren hervor. Anhand einer eingehenden Beobachtung konnten diese klassifiziert werden. Wichtig war zudem, einen zeitlichen Rahmen, besonders obere Grenze(n), für den untersuchten Gegenstand zu bestimmen, welche durch die Gegenüberstellungen mit verschiedenen späthellenistischen Werken gewährleistet werden konnte. Der überwiegende Teil der hellenistischen aufgestützten und/oder angelehnten Figuren orientiert sich vielmehr an ,Vorbildern' wie den Musen, dem ,Apollon Kyrene' und dem Hermaphrodit aus Pergamon, die zeitlich unmittelbar vorangehen, also nicht an klassischen Aphroditen, wie in der bisherigen Forschung wiederholt postuliert wurde. Sie übernehmen dabei nicht nur Stand- und Stützmotive von diesen sondern auch Gewandformen. Man bedient sich dabei einer eklektischen, als ein besonderes Phänomen des Späthellenismus zu betrachtenden Darstellungsweise für diese Figuren, welche dadurch als genuine Schöpfungen ihrer Zeit zu gelten haben.

Stories from the Hidden Harbor: Shipwrecks of Yenikapi. Edited by Gülbahar Baran Çelik, Zeynep Kiziltan.
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English. Color and b/w ills. 219 p. "In 2004, the Istanbul Archaeological Museums started large-scale salvage excavations at Yenikapi within the scope of Marmaray-Metro projects. For the first time in Istanbul's history, archaeological excavations were conducted at one of its Byzantine harbors. When the excavations started, it was not known what this ancient harbor at the mouth of the Lykos (Bayrampasa) River would yield. At first, Ottoman remains were encountered in the excavation area, which covers over 58,000 square meters. Then, one of Constantinople's most important, and the world's best known harbors, the Theodosian Harbor, was reached only 1 meter below sea level. During the ongoing excavations, countless small finds and works of architecture were unearthed. In addition to wood and rope fragments, an unexpected find, a shipwreck, was found in 2005. As the excavation area expanded, a total of 37 ships dating between the 5th and 11th centuries were brought to light. Among the finds are very well preserved small and large merchantmen, as well as galleys from the Middle and Late Byzantine periods, which have been found for the first time. The Yenikapi wrecks constitute the largest collection of shipwrecks ever found together. Another surprise was waiting for the archaeologists 6,3 meters below sea level: Istanbul's oldest settlement. This Neolithic settlement dates back 8000 years and changes the writing of Istanbul's history. The footprints of Istanbulites who lived there thousands of years ago were found a few meters below. As the excavations go on uninterrupted, we have now acquired much new information about the city. This exhibition has been prepared in light of the finds from Yenikapi and their scientific study. It presents a section of the city from its first inhabitants to the present, and allows a multidimensional view of trade, seafaring, shipbuilding technology, and everyday life in Constantinople through four wrecks that were found together with their cargo. A publication by the Istanbul Archaeological Museums, Koç Foundation, Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations and Koç University Press".
