Dear,

I am a PhD student in Turkey who is working about Ottoman Archaeology. In
Turkey, the Historical Archaeology has not been established and
institutionalized in the Academia yet. Therefore, I eagerly pursue the
discussions and e-mails in HISTARCH list in order to shape my theoretical
and practical framework in Ottoman Archaeology. I hope HISTARCH will
survive because I need to keep in touch with other archaeologists who work
in historical periods and to grasp the problems in Historical Archaeology.
This email list lead me to thinking about my research design and help me
establish and institutionalize Historical Archaeology in Turkey.

Thanks for your interest

Fahri Dikkaya
