Spatial Webs: Mapping Anatolian Pasts for Research and the Public

Spatial Webs charts the cultural heritage and identity of Anatolia, focusing on projects that incorporate Geographic Information Systems and other analytical tools in spatially significant research into the past. An important new contribution to archaeology and cultural heritage research, the volume brings together multidisciplinary researchers engaged in creating and using spatialized data resources for interactive web-mapping applications. The topics explored include sociospatial differentiation in bostancibasi registers, identity mapping the Jewish communities of medieval Anatolia, and the Turkey Cultural Heritage Map of the Hrant Dink Foundation.

Christopher H. Roosevelt is professor in the Department of Archaeology and History of Art and director of the Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations at Koç University (ANAMED) in Istanbul.
