Review `This volume is a significant contribution to global historical archaeologyis work brings forth a new perspective and opens up new possibilities. ' American Antiquity,67:1 (2002)
Archaeology in the Middle East and the Balkans rarely focuses on the recent past; as a result, archaeologists have largely ignored the material remains of the Ottoman Empire. Drawing on a wide variety of case studies and essays, this volume documents the emerging field of Ottoman archaeology and the relationship of this new field to anthropological, classical, and historical archaeology as well as Ottoman studies.
