Kinet Höyük (Classical Issos) a harbor town in Southeast Cilicia during the Persian and Hellenistic Periods
(Pennsylvania State University Press, 2015) Gates, C.
Excavations conducted from 1992–2012 at Kinet Höyük, a coastal site in southeast Cilicia, have revealed important remains of the Persian and Hellenistic periods. The site has long been identified as Classical Issos, near where Alexander the Great and Darius III fought in 333 BC. The Persian settlement consists of three architectural levels, and the Hellenistic town of two, altogether spanning the mid-sixth to the mid-first centuries BC. The last of the ancient settlements was founded in ca. 175 BC, perhaps as part of the revitalization of Cilician towns under Antiochus IV. Persian and Hellenistic findings come mostly from the mound proper, but soundings to the west, north, and east of the mound have demonstrated the existence of a lower town.

Perception of history and the problem of superiority in ahmedi's
(2009) Turna, B.
This paper is an analysis of the narrative structure of the chronologically final part of ahmedi's (d. 1413) primary work İskendername, in terms of its perception of time and history. In so doing, it may be possible to examine how early Ottoman historiography dealt with the past and the present. in fact ahmedi's Dastān has been extensively used by scholars so far, but only as the focus of discussions on the Ghaza thesis, however, the examination of ahmedi's eclectic and sometimes anachronistic history and his treatment of time will provide us a theoretical perspective to the early Ottoman historiography, which has not yet been done in Ottoman studies. © 2009 akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest.
