Archaeology and Urban Settlement in Late Roman and Byzantine Anatolia: Eucha�ta-Avkat-Bey�z� and Its Environment

5/5 ( ratings)

The site of medieval Eucha�ta, on the northern edge of the central Anatolian plateau, was the centre of the cult of St Theodore Tiro . Unlike most excavated or surveyed urban centres of the Byzantine period, Eucha�ta was never a major metropolis, cultural centre or extensive urban site, although it had a military function from the seventh to ninth centuries. Its significance lies precisely in the fact that as a small provincial town, something of a backwater, it was probably more typical of the 'average' provincial Anatolian urban settlement, yet almost nothing is known about such sites. This volume represents the results of a collaborative project that integrates archaeological survey work with other disciplines in a unified approach to the region both to enhance understanding of the history of Byzantine provincial society and to illustrate the application of innovative approaches to field survey.
