The Istanbuler Mitteilungen see themselves as a platform for archaeological and cultural-historical research on Anatolia and its neighbouring regions. The contributions deal with material evidence of the past from prehistory to the Ottoman period. In accordance with thefield of research at the Istanbul Department of the German Archaeological Institute, prehistoric archaeology, Near Eastern archaeology, classical archaeology, Byzantine archaeology and building research form the thematic main topics of the journal. Interdisciplinary essays that also include other subjects in the humanities, natural sciences or geosciences are expressly welcome. The contributions are published in the common scientific languages but mainly in German and English with Turkish summaries.


English summary: The current volume brings together a range of contributions dedicated to diverse material evidence in various Turkish regions from different periods: Besides the investigation of the Late Chalcolithic pottery of the Malatya and Altinova plains; a search for clues of the archaeologically hitherto elusive population group of the Kaskaer; the presentation of a corpus of more than 30 Imperial period console blocks with colossal protomes of animals and mythological figures from the Hadrianic Baths of Aphrodisias; the investigation and reconstruction of monolithic slabs from the liturgical furnishing of the City Basilica of Patara; the presentation of a Byzantine settlement archaeology in the upper Siberis/Kirmir river valley with various Early and Middle Byzantine monuments that has hardly been illuminated so far; the publication of a hoard find consisting of 81 coins from Palaiologan Pergamon and the presentation of three decontextualised individual finds of Phrygian fibulae from the pre-Archaic Iron Age of Pergamon. German description: Der aktuelle Band vereint eine Bandbreite an Beitragen, die sich diversen materiellen Zeugnissen in verschiedenen turkischen Regionen aus unterschiedlichen Epochen widmen: Neben der Untersuchung der spatchalkolithische Keramik in den Ebenen von Malatya und Altinova; einer Spurensuche der archaologisch bisher schwer erfassbaren Bevolkerungsgruppe der Kaskaer; der Prasentation eines Korpus von uber 30 kaiserzeitlichen Konsolblocken mit kolossalen Protomen von Tieren und mythologischen Figuren aus den Hadriansthermen von Aphrodisias; der Untersuchung und Rekonstruktion von Schrankenplatten als Teil der liturgischen Ausstattung der Stadtbasilika von Patara; der Vorstellung einer bisher kaum beleuchteten byzantinischen Siedlungsarchaologie im oberen Siberis/Kirmir-Flusstal mit verschiedenen fruh- und mittelbyzantinischen Denkmalern; der Publikation eines aus 81 Munzen bestehenden Hortfundes aus dem palaiologischen Pergamon und der Prasentation von drei dekontextualisierten Einzelfunden phrygischer Fibeln aus der vorarchaischen Eisenzeit Pergamons.
