Anatolian Livestock Trade in the Late Ottoman Empire analyzes the expansion of the Anatolian livestock trade during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\u2014 a period marked by significant changes in politics, society and environment. It examines the impact of these changes on both human and non-human actors, maps trade routes and networks, and explores their transformations over time, thereby contributing to the literature on Ottoman environmental and socioeconomic history.<\/p>

Religious Buildings Made in Byzantium Old Monuments, New Interpretations emerged from the collaborative effort of scholars aiming to rethink Byzantine religious architecture in light of recent political, social, and academic developments. Initially sparked by a conversation in Istanbul, the project took shape through virtual workshops in 2020\u20132021 where participants explored new methodological approaches to studying Byzantine churches. Building on the foundational work of scholars like Slobodan \u0106ur\u010di\u0107 and Robert Ousterhout, this collection addresses critical questions about the definition of a \u201cByzantine church\u201d and how it fits into a broader cultural and historical context. By integrating diverse perspectives, such as material culture, ritual practices, and sensory experiences, the volume seeks to offer a holistic understanding of Byzantine architecture as a living tradition. It challenges older, Constantinople-centered narratives by examining the dynamic interactions between different regions and the sociopolitical environments that shaped their religious buildings. Ultimately, the volume advocates for a more nuanced and interdisciplinary approach to the study of Byzantine architecture, one that recognizes its global connections and its evolving significance.<\/p>

This book presents the final report on Medieval period excavations at Kinet H\u00f6y\u00fck in Hatay province, southern Turkey. The region was contested between the Crusader Principality of Antioch, the Knights Templar, the Kingdom of Armenian Cilicia, and the Mamluk Sultanate. Sources from this period mention Medieval Kinet (Arabic al-Tina, Latin Canamella) as a port exporting timber from the nearby Amanos Mountains. Four habitation levels spanned the mid-12th to early 14th centuries: three of them ending in conflagration and destruction. Its location on the Mediterranean and the main road between Anatolia and Northern Syria led to the recovery of ceramics, coins, and other objects from around the eastern Mediterranean, inland Syria, and beyond. The combination of its stratigraphic excavation and careful analyses of a wide range of materials and objects affords rare insights into economy, settlement, warfare, and many other aspects of life in this region at the time of the Crusades.<\/p>
