Preliminary Report on the 2024 Fieldwork at Phoenix
The fourth season of the Phoenix Archaeological Project (PAP), conducted in 2024, focused on the northern and eastern chora of Phoenix on the Bozburun Peninsula in south-western Turkey. Intensive survey and documentation were carried out across c. 600 hectares, integrating archaeological, geomorphological, epigraphic, and biodiversity studies, as well as oral history interviews and contemporary art initiatives. At Gökçalca, a terraced hillside se…
Preliminary Report on the 2023 Fieldwork at Phoenix and Casara

A rural settlement landscape with agricultural workshops, olive oil production sites, wineries and farmsteads, was documented over an area of around 750 hectares.

Preliminary Report on the 2022 Fieldwork at Phoenix
The ancient site of Phoenix in the southwest of the Bozburun peninsula (Marmaris) and the adjacent areas were the subject of a second multidisciplinary archaeological campaign in the summer of 2022. After an initial survey campaign in 2021, which focused on the Phoenix settlement and its hinterland, a first excavation campaign was carried out at the Apollo sanctuary / Kızlan church in 2022. In parallel with the excavations, another team conducted…
Labraunda 2022 – Rapport préliminaire
International audience
Pagan Inscriptions, Christian Viewers
What did people in the early Christian period (4th–7th century ce) think about the ancient, pagan inscriptions filling their cities? Why, for example, is the famous Res Gestae of the “divine” Augustus almost perfectly preserved on the walls of a temple in Ankara in Asia Minor, even though the city became a Christian imperial center? The prima facie explanation—that late Romans ignored the older epigraphic material around them—is proven untrue in …
La saison 2021 à Labraunda
IntroductionLes travaux menés à Labraunda en 2021 ont compris une (modeste) prospection archéologique et une campagne de fouilles de deux mois.Malgré la brièveté de la prospection, ce sont près d’une vingtaine de sites qui ont été mis au jour, complétant ainsi notre carte archéologique de la région qui compte aujourd’hui plus de 150 sites répertoriés sur près de 180 km2.Quant aux opérations menées sur le site, elles se sont organisées en travaux …
Labraunda 2019
La campagne de recherche 2019 à Labraunda en Carie fut menée en deux temps. Une première opération de prospection archéologique s’est tenue en juin 2019, tandis qu’une opération de fouille s’est déroulée pendant les deux mois de juillet et août. La prospection s’est concentrée d’une part sur la documentation d’un ensemble de peintures rupestres datant de la période Chalcolithique et, d’autre part, sur la zone orientale du territoire du site. L’en…
Preliminary Report on the 2021 Fieldwork at Phoenix
Situé dans la partie sud-ouest de la péninsule de Bozburun (Marmaris), le site antique de Phoenix a fait l'objet d'une première campagne de prospection archéologique multidisciplinaire durant le mois de septembre 2021. Les travaux sur le terrain avaient pour objectif de mieux connaître l'espace urbain du site en général, ainsi que certaines structures en particulier, comme le temple d'Apollon transformé en église, l'acropole et les nécropoles par…
Inscribing Caria
When early Christians visited or appropriated former pagan sanctuaries, they were confronted with numerous ancient inscriptions on stelai and bases, as well as on the temple structure itself: dedications, lists of priests, and documents adorning temple architraves, antae, and walls. These texts, both at the time of their original carving and in late antiquity, served to define sanctuaries, their role within the polis, and their connection with lo…
Hiding in Plain Sight
Around 500 ce, the magnificent Temple of Aphrodite at Aphrodisias (Turkey) was deconstructed and rebuilt as an even larger church. During this process, several ancient inscriptions from the temple and from elsewhere, including building dedications and records of column donations, were incorporated into the new Christian sacred space. Previous studies of the temple-church have fixated on the original, Roman-period texts of the inscriptions and the…
Beyond Spolia
Recent epigraphic studies have contextualized inscriptions within their archaeological settings, bringing these stones into the field of material culture studies. The time is now ripe to consider the full life-span of inscriptions and the cumulative assemblage of inscribed material on display at any one time. Although inscriptions appear to be “set in stone” at the moment of their carving, they are actually a dynamic medium capable of communicati…
