Development focused on the expansion of maritime space in response to social and economic shifts in growth, as it evolved from a small urban centre to an industrialized settlement that altered the relationship between city and sea. In this paper, space syntax analysis is used to model the successive phases of Burgaz with an eye toward diachronic analysis of the settlement’s spatial networks and an examination of the role of maritime space as a mechanism for urban resilience in the Mediterranean world.

In situ findings, which related to workshops located in the archaeological sites of Burgaz (Palaia Knidos) and Yağtaşı-Devtaşı, as well as finds collected during further field work, have led us to reassess our knowledge of the Knidian wine and oil extraction technologies. It seems that the most common technology used in the Hellenistic period workshops is that of the lever and weight presses. The eleven Knidian press beds which have been inventoried are of two standard types, with specific features each. In concordance with the examples repertoried in Cilicia and Caria, the larger size of the Knidian press beds were probably due to the necessity of satisfying the needs of a regional rather than domestic market.
The book is based on the report which is prepared in accordance with the Project’s detail engineering works and submitted to the management of BOTAŞ in 2002, and an extended version of the detailed assessment of the archaeological finds by the archaeologists assigned in the Project. Although the assessments for the BTC Crude Oil Pipeline Archaeological Cultural Heritage Management Plan included in Section 5 of the “Archaeological Environmental Assessment for Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) Crude Oil Pipeline Project” which is the first article of the book are carried out by considering the unique conditions of the project and submitted to the BOTAŞ Management then, it is still a guiding light for the researches today.
The subject of this paper is the limestone statuettes that show great variety and are commonly thought to be Cypriot or East Greek in origin. Archaeometric analysis indicates local production for some examples. Alongside the locally produced statuettes, the majority of those that were analysed in this study were made from limestone coming from quarries within the Pachna Formation in Cyprus.
