1. Uluslararası Arslantepe Sempozyumu

İnönü Üniversitesi Yayınevi, 2020

İnönü University, one of the most reputable and established universities in Turkey, has given ten... more İnönü University, one of the most reputable and established universities in Turkey, has given tens of thousands of qualified graduates who have proved themselves in the fields of education, science, philosophy, art, economy, medicine, and social sciences since 1975. Today, İnönü University goes on contributing to the bright future of our country with its high educational standards and increasing momentum of success. Located in the Upper Euphrates Basin, Malatya (Melid) established important relationships with other cultures and civilizations that emerge in Pre-Asia during prehistoric and post-historical periods through its high mountains with gateways and river resources. Malatya is the home of a rich cultural heritage with hundreds of mounds, tumuli, necropolis and city ruins within its borders. In the consequence of the archaeological excavations and researches carried out in Malatya so far, important discoveries have been made about the transition to settled life and urbanization processes that have an important place in human history. Archaeological remains unearthed in Cafer Mound, where traces of the first settled life in Malatya were identified, date back to 10 thousand years ago. In the systematic archaeological excavations and investigations carried out at Arslantepe Mound, which also gave its name to the modern city of Malatya, the archaeological remains giving clues about urbanization processes, which take a very important place in terms of both regional and world history were unearthed. It is our university's responsibility to the past and future generations to support all kinds of scientific studies to bring to light the historical and archaeological value of this geography where we live and whose cultural richness we have inherited. In this regard, 1st International Arslantepe Archeology Symposium was held by İnönü University in cooperation with La Sapienza University of Rome between 4-6 October 2018. This symposium enabled many distinguished scientists all around the world to examined and discuss archeological studies in the region, particularly in Arslantepe, which has been a real contribution to the city, archeology and cultural history. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the symposium organizing committee, particularly to the symposium chairpersons Prof. Dr. Marcella FRANGIPANE and Prof. Dr. Neslihan DURAK, who made a great effort in organizing the 1 st International Arslantepe Archeology Symposium, and to the valuable scientists who contributed with their papers, as well. I would also like to thank the Governor of Malatya Aydın Baruş, Mayor of Malatya Selahattin GÜRKAN, Mayor of Battalgazi Osman Güder and Mayor of Yeşilyurt Mehmet Çınar for their valuable contributions in the organization of the symposium and publication of the symposium book. I hope the symposium widens up the scientists' horizons.
