Karkemish (Karkamış) an Ancient Capital on the Euphrates

Karkemish (Karkamış) an Ancient Capital
on the Euphrates
Speaker: Nicolò Marchetti
Moderator: Hasan Peker

For this month's talk, ANAMED will feature Nicolò Marchetti. Moderated by Hasan Peker, their talk will focus on ten seasons of renewed archaeological excavations and conservation activities have taken place between 2011 and 2021 at Karkemish (modern Karkamış Höyük, Gaziantep). The Karkemish archaeological project revolves around an international cooperation framework, one which involves not only specialists from many fields, but also several universities, museums, public authorities and private bodies uniting their efforts towards shared goals and priorities, including the long-awaited opening of the site, laying within a military area, to public visit. This multidisciplinary and multi-partner perspective responds to a contemporary view in which integration (also intended as continuous feedback between all involved participants) is the method chosen for facing the complexities and the challenges posed by an anthropological approach, both as far as the past and the present are concerned.
