In this episode, Dr. Işılay Gürsu and Dr. Peter Cherry speak with Dr. Michele Rüzgar Massa, Assistant Professor at Bilkent University’s Archaeology Department, about the Türkmen-Karahöyük excavations: a new archaeological project in central Anatolia.
Dr Massa explains the significance of the project, how it builds on the BIAA’s research legacy and contextualises the excavation within the ancient history of the Konya region and the different civilisations that called this area home. Dr. Massa ends by reflecting on how archaeology can provide insight into key contemporary issues.
