In this issue

In this new issue, you will find two different ancient
sites which witnessed different historical events that affected the evolution
of art, mentality and the social life of people. One of these sites
is Kinet Höyük, which holds the remains of the city of Issos that witnessed
the dramatic passage of the Macedonians and the Persians. Hattusha,
which founded the first Anatolian central power and survived
almost 500 years, is the second. Being the capital of the Hittite Empire,
Hattusha was also very important with its unique functions for the ideology
and the mentality of the state of the Hittites. Their cult areas and
the structures of Hattusha reflect the glory of the city.

Language: English

Frequency: Quarterly

Turkey, with its cultural variety which is increasing in history, has an important structural group of monumental buildings, ranging from the caves to the first temple of the world, from city walls to castles, towers to obelisks, churches to mosques, madrasah, hospitals, hans and baths, fountains, tombs to mausoleums, palaces, mansions and waterside residences. This multicoloured cultural mosaic, which bears the traces of every level of the history, deserves to be called as “super power”.

Known as the cradle of numerous civilizations for thousands of years, Anatolia is one of the most important centers in history. It has hosted many different cultures, languages and religions, faced several migrations and battles, and witnessed the foundation and the fall of civilizations.

Aktüel Arkeoloji aims: firstly, to inform the general public about archaeological investigations, cultural treasures and the heritage of Anatolia; secondly, to share this heritage, which we accept as being of global value, with the whole world. To understand the world’s history, firstly we should explore the entire history of Anatolian civilizations. Beside scientific researches in an interdisciplinary setting, recent archaeological excavations and the surveys conducted in Anatolia have been further extending the understanding of the archaeology and the cultural heritage of Anatolia.
