Each of the Keramos conferences has a distinct theme within ceramic studies. The proceedings of the second Keramos conference presented in this volume focus on the ceramic conventions of western Anatolia in the Archaic and Classical periods. The conference aimed to discuss a wide range of topics including workshops, chronology and dating, cultural interactions, trade, movement of ceramics and the spread of ideas, characterisation and contextualising pottery, classification and archaeometric analysis. In this respect, the papers in this volume not only present the results of current research and archaeological material of western Asia Minor but also include new suggestions, approaches and questions in ceramic studies. The second Keramos conferenceon 'Archaic and Classical Western Anatolia: New Perspectives in the Ceramic Studies' is dedicated to the memory of Crawford H. Greenewalt Jr, director of the excavations at Sardis for more than 30 years, and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. After participating in several archaeological explorations in Turkey since 1959, Greenie played an important role and contributed to the advancement of archaeological research and knowledge especially in Lydia and western Anatolia.

Students of antiquity often see ancient Turkey as a bewildering array of cultural complexes. Ancient Turkey brings together in a coherent account the diverse and often fragmented evidence, both archaeological and textual, that forms the basis of our knowledge of the development of Anatolia from the earliest arrivals to the end of the Iron Age. Much new material has recently been excavated and unlike Greece, Mesopotamia, and its other neighbours, Turkey has been poorly served in terms of comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible discussions of its ancient past. Ancient Turkey is a much needed resource for students and scholars, providing an up-to-date account of the widespread and extensive archaeological activity in Turkey. Covering the entire span before the Classical period, fully illustrated with over 160 images and written in lively prose, this text will be enjoyed by anyone interested in the archaeology and early history of Turkey and the ancient Near East.

*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts of Miletus *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading Miletus was an ancient city located on the west coast of present-day Turkey. It was the main city in the land of Ionia, a territory that stretched over 2,000 square kilometers of western Anatolia. With its four great harbors and a strategic location, Miletus became one of the most important coastal cities of western Anatolia, linking the Hellenistic world with the great civilizations of Babylon, Egypt, and eventually Persia. Over time, Miletus was ruled by the Minoans, Mycenaeans, Hittites, Ionians, Persians, Seleucids, Attalids, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuk Turks, and Ottomans. Western civilization is directly linked to the incredible things that happened in Miletus during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. In the context of the dynamic political and mercantile interactions between different lands, philosophy and science were able to arise in Miletus because of the presence of a group of rich traders who, as an extremely rare luxury, had spare time to ponder about things beyond the necessities of life - to take an interest in knowledge for knowledge's sake. A revolution in human thinking took place there, most notably thanks to a man named Thales, who is widely recognized as the first philosopher - at least within the Western tradition. Little is known for certain about the life of Thales, other than what was said about him by other philosophers, but he is renowned to this day for being the first recognized pre-Socratic philosopher. He developed a new, incredibly optimistic idea from the conflicting mythologies that existed in Miletus: the belief that human beings can uncover the true workings of nature through their minds and senses. This was the basic premise of the pre-Socratics, who paved the way for the Classical Athenian philosophers that would go on to establish the major themes in Western philosophy. Philosophy is meaningless without science, and science is without direction when devoid of philosophy, but Thales was a polymath, with an interest in describing life as a whole, in its broadest sense. He tried to explain how life is structured according to an over-arching and all-encompassing principle. Considered by Aristotle to be the founder of physical science, Thales was the first named individual in the Western tradition that searched for the ultimate substance of things - in his case, water. This was the basis of the theory of atomism, which was formulated by Democritus 150 years after the life of Thales. Miletus was conquered two generations after Thales, and it was never the same again, but fortunately, the philosophical tradition was passed on to the Greek mainland and survived. After being sacked by the Persians in 494 BCE, the city was rebuilt, and it was during this restoration that one of its most famous town-planners, a native named Hippodamus, made his mark on history. He invented the so-called "Hippodamian grid," which still influences city-planning in the modern age. The Milesians went on to play a key role in the Peloponnesian Wars between Sparta, Athens, and the Persians, but by the end of the conflict Miletus was in a weakened state. It was captured by Alexander the Great after a massive battle in 334 BCE, and following Alexander's death, Miletus was ruled by the Seleucids, but over time Miletus gradually turned its back to the East and became closely influenced by Roman culture. It became an important Christian city in the Byzantine Empire, but by the Seljuk conquests of the 11th century, Miletus had already began to irreversibly decline. Miletus: The History and Legacy of the Ancient Greek City in Anatolia chronicles the history of this oft-forgotten but incredibly consequential city. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Miletus like never before.

The papers in Karia and the Dodekanese, Vol. I, focus on regional developments and interregional relations in western Asia Minor and the Dodekanese during the Late Classical and Early Hellenistic period. Throughout antiquity, this region was a dynamic meeting place for eastern and western civilizations. Cultural achievements of exceptional and everlasting importance, including significant creations of ancient Greek literature, philosophy, art and architecture, originated in the coastal cities of western Anatolia and the adjoining Aegean islands. In the fourth century BC, the eastern cities experienced a new economic boom, and a revival of Archaic culture, sometimes termed ‘The Ionian Renaissance’, began. The cultural revival furthered rebuilding of old major works such as the Artemision at Ephesos, the embellishment of sanctuaries and a new royal architecture, such as the Maussolleion at Halikarnassos. The rich cultural revival was initially promoted by the satrapal family of the Hekatomnids in Karia and in particular by its most famous member, Maussollos, whose influence was not confined to Asia Minor, but included the Dodekanese islands Kos and Rhodos. Partly under the influence of the Karian satrapy, a number of cities were founded on a new common urban model in Rhodos, Halikarnassos, Priene, Knidos and Kos. When Alexander the Great conquered the satrapies in western Asia Minor in 334 BC, the culture initially promoted at the satrapal courts was carried on by gifted thinkers, poets and architects, preparing the way for Hellenistic cultural centres such as Alexandria.

Striking similarities in Etruscan and Anatolian material culture reveal various forms of contact and exchange between these regions on opposite sides of the Mediterranean. This is the first comprehensive investigation of these connections, approaching both cultures as agents of artistic exchange rather than as side characters in a Greek-focused narrative. It synthesizes a wide range of material evidence from c. 800 – 300 BCE, from tomb architecture and furniture to painted vases, terracotta reliefs, and magic amulets. By identifying shared practices, common visual language, and movements of objects and artisans (from both east to west and west to east), it illuminates many varied threads of the interconnected ancient Mediterranean fabric. Rather than trying to account for the similarities with any one, overarching theory, this volume presents multiple, simultaneous modes and implications of connectivity while also recognizing the distinct local identities expressed through shared artistic and cultural traditions.
