In recent years, excavations in the northern Lower Town of Boğazköy have provided us with a fundamentally new view of the foundation of the Hittite capital and its development before this historically decisive turning point. Large storage buildings from the time of the Assyrian trading colonies and the finds therein allow conclusions to be drawn about the royal administration of this period, just as the uncovering of a large building from the early Hittite period provides insights into ritual festivals that we were previously unaware of. In the light of remarkable finds and textual evidence it becomes possible to understand these crucial epochs better. Of particular importance is that for the first time archaeological evidence has been found that the settlement was continuously inhabited from the so called karum period to the Hittite period - contrary to earlier reconstructions. For some years now, the investigation of an extensive Roman settlement in the northern sub-city of the Hittite ruins has played a special role. These findings not only close a gap in the settlement history of the site, but also provide unique insights into the material culture of an almost unknown period in Central Anatolia. In three articles we would like to inform about the latest results of the work and show their importance beyond the site.

Constantinople in Late Antiquity: Sacred Space and Urban Topography After Constantinople was inaugurated by the emperor Constantine in 330 CE, the city quickly earned its reputation as the New Rome. Protected by virtually unbreachable fortifications, it housed the imperial palace, the famous hippodrome, and a plethora of magnificent churches. As capital of the Medieval Roman Empire, Constantinople survived various threads and challenges until it eventually fell to the Ottomans in 1453. With this event, we are focusing on Constantinople’s formative period in Late Antiquity, asking how the city rose from one of several imperial residences in the fourth century to the undisputed political and religious center of the Eastern Mediterranean. The presentations approach late antique Constantinople from various perspectives: they investigate the architectural intricacies of religious buildings and how they expressed their founder’s ambitions; they offer insights into spaces that stood out due to the lack of monumental architecture, especially in the liminal area around the city walls; and they trace how Christian believes materialized in the urban fabric through the collection and dispersion of objects that were considered to be holy relics. In synthesis, the evening highlights the intersection between religion, social hierarchies, and urban topography, shedding light on the crucial characteristics of Constantinople’s most dynamic period.

Die Römisch-Germanische Kommission des Deutschen Archäologischen Institut erforscht seit 2009 zusammen mit der Universität „High Anthropological School“ in Chișinău (Republik Moldau) und der Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel (http://www.ufg.uni-kiel.de/de/ufg-kiel; http://archaeo-lounge.com/) die Großsiedlung am Fundplatz Stolniceni I (3900–3700 v. Chr.). Während der Voruntersuchungen und den gemeinsam durchgeführten Ausgrabungen konnten Hinweise auf 10–15 kupferzeitliche Töpferöfen festgestellt werden, von denen bislang drei bei Ausgrabungen dokumentiert wurden. In Ergänzung zu den Feldforschungen begann direkt nach den Grabungen die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Aufbau und der Funktionsweise derartiger Töpferöfen. Seit 2018 wird in einem Langzeitexperiment zusammen mit dem Verein „Die Milzener“ e.V. in Melaune (Sachsen) die Bauweise eines solchen Töpferofens nachempfunden und getestet. Im Frühjahr 2020 wurde durch die „Milzener“ e.V. die Ofenkuppel vollständig neu gestaltet, da die Versuche der letzten zwei Jahre eine Reihe von Schwachstellen an der Konstruktion zeigten und Optimierungsmöglichkeiten aufgezeigt hatten.
