Discovering Perge

Lecture by Dr. Inci Delemen,
Istanbul University


TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2011 at 5:30 p.m.

Boston University, School of Law, 12th Floor Lounge
765 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston

Exhibit: October 26 - 27, 2011
Hours 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.

The glorious story of Perge, located near Turkey’s Mediterranean coast and modern Antalya, began in prehistoric times and continues today with its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the capital of ancient Pamphylia, Perge gained a preeminent status, and it remains an important source for understanding Classical cities. Its impressive remains, especially of the Hellenistic, Imperial Roman, and Late Roman periods, include remarkably well-preserved city walls, streets, and baths, an agora, a theater, and a stadium, all of which together provide insight into aspects of ancient urban planning. Additionally, much of the city was elaborately adorned with a vast assemblage of sculpture that suggests Perge’s role as one of the most important sculpture ateliers of its time.

With continuous Istanbul University exploration of the site since 1946, the project now celebrates its 65th anniversary, making it the longest-running all-Turkish excavation in the country. Coinciding with a traveling poster exhibition that marks this special occasion will be a lecture from Dr. Inci Delemen of Istanbul University, a long-time member of the excavation team. Both the exhibition and the lecture will highlight the remarkable archaeology of Perge, underscoring the importance of this site for understanding Classical antiquity.

Co-sponsored by the American Friends of Turkey, Department of Archaeology
at Boston University, the Boston Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, and the Turkish-American Cultural Society of New England
