An annual event at Catalhoyuk illustrates this point nicely. It consists of a 'whirling dervish' evening organised by a local carpet merchant who also has close links with the Mevlana museum experts. On that day, he invites local civil servants from the ministry and provides also a generous portion of roast mutton to all at the site. Partly, he is no doubt thinking of trade (and it is true that members of the site do buy carpets from him on occasion), but also he is conscious that Catalhoyuk is regarded by many as sensitive project, and it is simply a good idea to be a living part of a triangular interaction that includes himself, the museum officials and the site. In turn, the people at the site gain a square meal followed by a pleasant evening listening to music, and look forward to the occasion eagerly. The connection between Konya and the whirling dervishes I will treat more fully in the final publication. I have not been able yet to decide adequately how to treat the relationship between the whirling dervishes and Catalhoyuk. Such a relationship undoubtedly exists in that they have frequently been connected by modern spiritual groups, both in Turkey and outside, such as the Beshara Foundation. Perhaps it is no more than the fact that many attracted to Catalhoyuk are fascinating by the symbollic wealth that Mellaard discovered, and by the religion that he regarded as being part of the CH neolithic culture, and that it is not surprising that they should also find the humanism of Rumi worthwhile. It is a pleasant thought then, that the Dervishes should perform beneath large reproductions of the restored and completed illustrations that Mellaard used in his work to explain Catalhoyukian spirituality.

A photographic summary presents the most intrusive aspects of the present human interaction with the Catalhoyuk mound through noting the pathway into the excavation, the deep sounding and the efforts that have been taken to shore and protect it, the different tempo of the spoil heaps, the new excavation, opened by a Polish team in 2001, and the modern water tower. Every concern that interacts with the mound has a slightly different priority: the funding councils perhaps would like to see faster progress, the Turkish authorities that adequate preservation and security measures are taken, the villagers that the water pump and pressure is maintained, the excavators (though differing amongst themselves in detail) that the material is adequately digested, the local town that they are part of the enterprise. In all, these different perspectives play themselves out upon the mound, which as well as being changed topographically, is also yielding information from two quite different periods, from the Byzantine (or late classical) in the form of extensive burials, as well as the Neolithic and later prehistoric.

A photographic summary presents the most intrusive aspects of the present human interaction with the Catalhoyuk mound through noting the pathway into the excavation, the deep sounding and the efforts that have been taken to shore and protect it, the different tempo of the spoil heaps, the new excavation, opened by a Polish team in 2001, and the modern water tower. Every concern that interacts with the mound has a slightly different priority: the funding councils perhaps would like to see faster progress, the Turkish authorities that adequate preservation and security measures are taken, the villagers that the water pump and pressure is maintained, the excavators (though differing amongst themselves in detail) that the material is adequately digested, the local town that they are part of the enterprise. In all, these different perspectives play themselves out upon the mound, which as well as being changed topographically, is also yielding information from two quite different periods, from the Byzantine (or late classical) in the form of extensive burials, as well as the Neolithic and later prehistoric.

A reconstituted house in Catalhoyuk fashion was completed in 2001, one that gives an accurate idea of layout and space within a typically sized CH. Whilst this is a pleasant idea, it raises profound questions about the possibility of ethno-archaeology which I mention in more detail in the archive text. Thus, the builder was a local village usta, mud-brick builder specialist, but I wonder how much it is expected that the local village can answer questions about life in the Neolithic, and how much this was just a technical solution to the practical difficulty of constructing a model for onlookers to experience.

Cumra, the sub-provincial town, plays a role in the site in many ways, not just administratively, but the town's municipality have also on several occasions launched initiatives emphasising the important of Catalhoyuk for the town's historical identity. As they are also aware of the possibility of heritage tourism, it is likely that, as the shape as the site's future development becomes clear, they will play a highly significant role.

Bogazkoy is interesting for this research as what might be regarded as the 'mature' development of a site. The archeological remains cover a large area, some square kilometers, of otherwise bare terrain from which all signs of modern habitation has been removed and (just has Troy) been declared a 'National Park'. Souvineer sellers must only ply their wares in prescribed 'zones' which are on the circuit road, and just outside any of the main excavated areas. The village, just below the main digging area, is part of the overall 'third degree protection' zone which means that they must submit development plans to the local planning committee of the cultural ministry. As a result, the village is entirely free of the obtrusive concrete that characterises nearly all Anatolian villages, and has a mosque more in keeping with Republic sentiments than the Ottoman replicas that dominate the landscape. The green stone pictured is a well-documented example of archaeological remains becoming folkloric objects, and is variously regarded as having magical healing properties.

Konya is unusual in that the city has a very large number of tombs and shrines that form a living part of its religious and cultural landscape. A more typical example is perhaps that of Turhal, a well-established sub-provincial town in the central south-east part of Anatolia that was founded early in the Republic in order to provide a centre of beet cultivation and sugar manufacturing. Here, as the town quickly expands, its architecture is dominated by newly-built mosques, often very large, which form nuclei for further expansion. The original Republican conception of a cultural development centering upon theatres, films, bars and libraries is meanwhile muted, and the sugar-beet factory in the middle of the town, gradually being run down. In effect, organised planning has become swamped by a different vision of the world. There is one old tomb in the centre of the town but most brotherhood groups, meanwhile, have shifted the centre of their attention from traditional shrine centres to civil society organisations (such as trusts) and mosque construction.

A more typical example is perhaps that of Turhal, a well-established sub-provincial town in the central south-east part of Anatolia that was founded early in the Republic in order to provide a centre of beet cultivation and sugar manufacturing. Here, as the town quickly expands, its architecture is dominated by newly-built mosques, often very large, which form nuclei for further expansion. The original Republican conception of a cultural development centering upon theatres, films, bars and libraries is meanwhile muted, and the sugar-beet factory in the middle of the town, gradually being run down. In effect, organised planning has become swamped by a different vision of the world. There is one old tomb in the centre of the town but most brotherhood groups, meanwhile, have shifted the centre of their attention from traditional shrine centres to civil society organisations (such as trusts) and mosque construction.
