Download or read book Rock-cut Architecture and Underground Cities in Koramaz Valley of Kayseri, Turkey written by Ali Yamaç and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, rock-cut and underground structures of Koramaz Valley on the Anatolian Plateau in Turkey are described in detail. The valley; located in eastern Turkey near the town of Kayseri, has hundreds of rock-cut structures, in addition to several underground cities, and almost none of them have been studied before. Research conducted by a team from 2014 to 2020, resulted in this overview of all the rock-cut and underground structures in and around seven different settlements in the valley and aims for the physical documentation and inventory of all these structures. The book studies cliff settlements, rock-cut churches, underground cities, and funerary architecture in the valley. These shelters are estimated to have been built between the 7th and 10th centuries and even the smallest of these structures offer rich details for architectural, socio-cultural and historical studies. The rock-cut churches date to the Byzantine Empire period and during the research period, over 400 of these structures were explored, surveyed, and mapped in the region and with all these historical and natural values. Recently, the Koramaz Valley was accepted to the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list. This book is of interest to archaeologists and scholars of built heritage.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Byzantine Anatolia written by Philipp Niewöhner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book accounts for the tumultuous period of the fifth to eleventh centuries from the Fall of Rome and the collapse of the Western Roman Empire through the breakup of the Eastern Roman Empire and loss of pan-Mediterranean rule, until the Turks arrived and seized Anatolia. The volume is divided into a dozen syntheses that each addresses an issue of intrigue for the archaeology of Anatolia, and two dozen case studies on single sites that exemplify its richness. Anatolia was the only major part of the Roman Empire that did not fall in late antiquity; it remained steadfast under Roman rule through the eleventh century. Its personal history stands to elucidate both the emphatic impact of Roman administration in the wake of pan-Mediterranean collapse. Thanks to Byzantine archaeology, we now know that urban decline did not set in before the fifth century, after Anatolia had already be thoroughly Christianized in the course of the fourth century; we know now that urban decline, as it occurred from the fifth century onwards, was paired with rural prosperity, and an increase in the number, size, and quality of rural settlements and in rural population; that this ruralization was halted during the seventh to ninth centuries, when Anatolia was invaded first by the Persians, and then by the Arabs---and the population appears to have sought shelter behind new urban fortifications and in large cathedrals. Further, it elucidates that once the Arab threat had ended in the ninth century, this ruralization set in once more, and most cities seem to have been abandoned or reduced to villages during the ensuing time of seeming tranquility, whilst the countryside experienced renewed prosperity; that this trend was reversed yet again, when the Seljuk Turks appeared on the scene in the eleventh century, devastated the countryside and led to a revival and refortification of the former cities. This dynamic historical thread, traced across its extremes through the lens of Byzantine archaeology, speaks not only to the torrid narrative of Byzantine Anatolia, but to the enigmatic medievalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a publication of the acts of a symposium held at the NINO in 2008 on the archaeology of the countryside in medieval Anatolia. The articles examine different aspects of the medieval Anatolian countryside, which prior to this symposium, had not been a separate focus of research. The articles largely concentrate on the results of recent excavations or archaeological and architectural surveys and include more general overviews of sites, as well as specialized studies focusing on different aspects, such as pottery, mortuary practices and paleoecology. All of the different studies demonstrate the complexity and diversity of the medieval Anatolian countryside.

Download or read book Cultural Landscape in Practice written by Giuseppe Amoruso and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches cultural landscape as a driver for societal challenges, economic development, social inclusion, place assessment and heritage conservation. It explores issues stemming from the relation between conservation and emergencies, and identifies descriptive tools for conveying knowledge and generating new expertise, heritage skills, seismic culture and social resilience. The documentation of landscapes, due in part to new technologies, increasingly involves integrated methodologies and graphic outcomes such as Heritage-BIM, advanced 3D modeling, and immersive environments. According to recent UNESCO recommendations, the process of mapping places is a necessary prerequisite for design action, and also includes the emotional and perceptive dimension, so as to represent space through visual thought and produce graphic materials. The chapters presented here will ultimately support efforts to overcome the emergency phase of reconstruction after natural disasters and, by exploring relevant issues in recent studies, will describe emerging tools that can help inspire practices that concern not only agrarian and urban, but also historic urban landscapes. The work also presents planning tools to help preserve the integrity and authenticity of urban heritages. The book will benefit all scholars and practitioners who are involved in the process of understanding, designing and transforming places, and will foster an international exchange of research, case studies, and best practices to confront the practical challenges involved in keeping cultural landscapes alive.

Download or read book 100 Facts About Best Unesco World Heritage Sites written by Science-Based Language Learning Lab and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series Welcome to an innovative approach to language learning! This series of books is crafted to help you master a new language (Italian) through engaging with topics that captivate your interest (Best Unesco World Heritage Sites). Each book is centered around a theme–whether it's art, science, history, or another subject–and presents 100 carefully selected facts, each a gem of knowledge in both English and the target language. Here's how our unique format works: each fact is introduced in the target language where you do your best to interpret the fact. On the next page, the fact is shown in English, and then repeated in the target language where you can start making sense of any unfamiliar terms. This method is not only repetitive to aid memorization but also concise, ensuring that learning is streamlined with no excess verbiage. The second half of the book presents the content in English, then in the target language, and finally in English again, giving you the chance to translate in both directions and demonstrate true mastery of the material. The benefits of this approach are manifold: - Concise Learning: By focusing on simple, one-sentence facts, the learning process is distilled to its essence. This conciseness ensures that every word you learn is impactful and directly related to your interests, making the information easier to remember. - Reinforcement of Learning: Alternating between English and the target language with each fact helps reinforce your new vocabulary and grammatical structures naturally. It bridges the gap between the two languages, solidifying your learning through constant, practical application. - Contextual and Engaged Learning: Associating each new word with a fact about a topic you are passionate about not only makes the vocabulary stickier but also keeps your learning process dynamic and engaging. This method not only teaches you a new language but does so through the lens of your personal passions. - Dual Knowledge Acquisition: As you navigate through these 100 facts, you're not just learning a new language; you're also deepening your knowledge about a specific subject. This dual focus not only enhances the language learning experience but also enriches your understanding of your chosen topic. Designed for learners who thrive on clear, targeted information, this series promises a learning experience that is both educational and enjoyable. Whether you're a curious beginner or looking to broaden your linguistic skills, these books are tailored to make your educational journey as effective and engaging as possible. Embrace this journey of 100 facts, and let your passions fuel your progress in mastering a new language!
