Archaeology, Nationalism and Heritage in Islamic Society: a Turkish Case Study

Archaeology, Nationalism and Heritage in Islamic Society: a Turkish Case Study is an investigation undertaken by Dr David Shankland into the relationship between culture, nationalism and the remains of the past within Islam, taking Turkey as a specific example. The research took place between July 2000 and September 2001 in the Konya region of Turkey, centering largely upon the Neolithic archaeological site of Catal Huyuk. Visits were also made to population centers, such as nearby Konya, for the purposes of comparison and corroboration of findings. This archive presents a visual document of Dr Shankland's research, providing access to over 500 images and their accompanying annotations. They include photographs from the main focus of research at ??atalh??y??k and other archaeological sites in Turkey.
