Evaluating the Oylum Höyük MBA painted ware within the frameworks of the Syro-Cilician, Levantine and Khabur painted ceramic cultures
(2008) Çatalbaş, Mert
Oylum Höyük, located on the bank of the Akpınar River in modern Kilis region, is an important mound, with cultural connections to North Syria, Mesopotamia and Anatolia. As a consequence of its advantaged position, Oylum has been inhabited from at least the 4th millennium BC to the Hellenistic period. Oylum Höyük, as part of the second millennium trade traffic, has a decorated Middle Bronze ceramic assemblage that can be used to comprehend the relations and distinctions among its neighboring cultures. In the preparation of this thesis, the main intent is to study the parallelism between Oylum painted examples and other early 2nd millennium BC decorated ceramic traditions, e.g. Khabur, Syro-Cilician, and Levantine Painted wares. The results may be helpful to establish the identification of the Middle Bronze Age painted ceramic groups of Oylum and to comprehend the cultural characteristics of the settlement in this period.

The Braggiotti Family and their contribution to Turkish culture
(Bilkent University, 2020) Asrar, Maira; Raheem, Haider; Ali, Noman; Almahfoodh, Hashim; Deeder, Danish
The Braggiotti family, one of the Levantine families who migrated to Turkey during the early 1800s, is considered to be a suitable topic regarding microhistory. Their early lives which were directly affected by events in Turkey, such as the Great Fire of Smyrna, combined with their ef fects on the economy due to a few members specializing in specific professions such as banking, emphasize the potential of members in the family. Additionally, the Braggiotti family has made significant progress regarding the cultural, culinary and theatrical preservation of their fami lies' traditions, as well as the preservation of Levantine culture in general. Albeit minimalistic in nature, their contributions also helped in influencing other processes such as trade, entertain ment, expressiveness etc. and their importance should not be understated.
