Books by Koray Konuk
This volume brings together 27 papers presented at the ‘Rencontres d’Archéologie de l’IFEA’ devoted in 2013 to the ‘early’ periods of a region of southwest Asia Minor: Caria. Several recent studies have significantly advanced Carian studies, but these have been limited to chronological fields from the Hekatomnids to the end of the Roman Empire. It has therefore seemed useful to propose around a symposium and its publication a state of knowledge for periods prior to the Hekatomnids by offering both archaeologists to present unpublished archaeological material, resulting from recent (often rescue) excavations, and historians to expose their latest reflections based on material already known but reassessed in the light of new discoveries.
lively debate in recent years. In the framework of a program funded by the French National Research Agency (CNRS), a program consisting of philologists, historians, archaeologists and geologists took a model of integration into the larger whole of the Mediterranean the ancient regions of Caria and Lycia.
At the end of this program, a symposium held in Bordeaux provided an update on the progress of our knowledge of indigenous languages, foreign influences in the architecture and funerary practices. In turn, recent archaeological and epigraphic discoveries as well as historical developments underlying them shed light on the dynamism and ability of Caria and Lycia to adapt to political changes in the Mediterranean world.
It is around these two themes, which he contributed widely to enlighten, that thirty-five colleagues, friends and former students from twelve countries have gathered to honour him on the occasion of his retirement by offering twenty-nine studies.
This volume celebrates a scientific career of international standing whose variety of approaches is mirrored by these essays which discuss ancient, social and economic history, historiography, archaeology, epigraphy, metrology and numismatics."
