Archeology Department
Welcome to our website.
The Archeology Department was established in 2002 when the Department of Archeology and History of Art was divided into two. The Department chair was Assistant Prof. Dr. Bahattin Çelik between the years 2006 and 2008. In 2009, Associate Prof. Dr. Mehmet Önal was appointed as the new chair.
In 2009-2010 academic year, the Department accepted its first students to its undergraduate program. There are Classical Archeology, Protohistoria and Archeology of Pre Asia, and Prehistoric Archeology Programs at the Department. These programs cover all the compulsory courses given at the Department. From 3rd year onwards, the students are encouraged to select one of the Classical Archeology, Protohistoria and Archeology of Pre Asia, and Prehistoric Archeology programs to become specialized.
Archeology, the study of everything ancient, is a scientific branch that examines and interprets artifacts belonging to ancient cultures and civilizations and determines their location and time. The main objectives of the Archeology Department are conducting research, publishing scientific papers, and provide education as the department feels responsible towards the cultural history of Anatolia and neighboring regions. Another crucial objective of the department is to train academic and intellectual archeologists who claim the historical heritage of Anatolia, who adopt it as a cultural identity, and who protect it for his country and present it to the world.
Education in our department includes not only theoretical courses in which visual materials are used and presented but also practical applications such as seminars and trips to archeological sites, museum visits and studies, field activities, and excavations.
The graduates of the Department can work at museums of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, at the Regional Directories of Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage, at the building survey departments, at the Protection Application and Control offices of municipalities, at private museums, or at the General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration. Except private museums and collectors private sector does not need archeologists today because of the current Law on Ancient Artifacts. However, in accordance with the European Union adjustment laws, it is possible that companies will be established to run recovery excavations for the Museum Directories and to control building constructions so that employment opportunities will increase for the archeologists in near future.
Please note: Archeology is a scientific branch which is mainly based on, both theoretically and practically, visual content. Archeological fieldwork takes place under sun and in dust and archeological surface surveys includes travelling long distances on foot and climbing up under sun. Therefore, it is suggested that students who plan to study archeology also consider such issues.
