The main theme that pervades this volume is the centuries-long ‘march’ starting from the middle of the fifteenth century and finding its conclusion in the archaeological practice of today, with all its facets, in countries around the eastern Mediterranean such as Greece and Turkey. However, the purpose of the volume is not that of providing a chronologically organized grand narrative. Through a series of microhistories and general pictures it aims to contribute to the formation of an articulated view of a complex, and long-lasting, phenomenon such as that of the (re)discovery and investigation of antiquities, not only classical, in the Eastern Mediterranean area, united not only by geographical location, but also by virtue of having been part of the Ottoman Empire for centuries.
