FounderPhoenix Archaeological Project (Pap) Apr 2021 - PresentMarmaris, Muğla, TürkiyePhoenix Archaeological Project (PAP) is an interdisciplinary and multinational co-operative excavation and survey project directing by Dr. Asil Yaman. It is designed to identify and document the tangible and intangible cultural heritage and re-image the settlement pattern and land use from antiquity through the modern period.PAP aims to develop long-range multidisciplinary sub-projects and collaborate with various areas such as Geoarchaeology, Architecture, Archaeoseismology, Ecology, Anthropology, Archaeometry, Sociology, and History to document and investigate the iconic landscape of Bozburun Peninsula.The southwestern part of the Bozburun peninsula is targeted because of the lack of systematic investigations. The region is entirely open to illicit excavations and looting of artifacts. The cultural and natural heritage in the southwestern part of the peninsula is heavily threatening by urban and agricultural expansion and changing the landscape visually, endangering its biodiversity. It is believed that the multidisciplinary and new generation approaches will advance awareness, education, fieldwork, preservation, publication, and research of archaeological remains and cultural heritage in Phoenix and its territory.Along with the scientific purposes of PAP, there will be public programs designed for local people at Taşlıca and Söğüt. Social responsibility sub-projects like educating the children who live in poverty in the area will help protect the multi-scaled landscape and heritage in the future.The contemporary art program consists the other public program named ‘Upper City’ encourages people to take a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to artmaking and research-led creative practice. Our primary goal in this project is to bring artists and the archaeologist together and allow them both independently and collaboratively to reflect the meanings of the material and visual culture, arts, and heritage in different ways. -
