Item Restricted Atatürk and archaeology: reasons and consequences(Bilkent University, 2020) Fayoumi, Rama; Ebida, Tarek; Moghaddam, Faezeh; Iftikhar, Ammaar; Tara, Seyedeh HodaAtatürk had a deep interest in archaeology, stemming from his belief in how it might affect nationalism and secularism. Archaeology was then used to create a Turkish identity that could combat the notion that Turks were a secondary race. Atatürk took the initiative to enhance Turkey’s archaeological field through the establishment of the Turkish Historical Society and by carrying out excavations. Atatürk’s approach and attitude towards archaeology differed significantly from that of the Ottoman’s. Furthermore, the archaeology’s effects were not limited to Turkey but had an impact on other countries as well.Item Open Access Theoretical approaches in Turkish archaeology(2007) Ahibay, BanuThis thesis analyzes several theoretical approaches in Turkish archaeology throughout its history.

The influence of various factors on Turkish archaeology such as the German school, nationalism, Turkish History Thesis, Sun-Language Theory, Anatolianism, Humanism, the Braidwoods, and the Keban Dam Project will be discussed in detail.
