Özet:

 

A standard Turkish concept about archaeology, one attested by my students,  Note  1  is that Turkey is exceptionally rich in archaeological remains and, as a result,  foreigners naturally want to work here. But the world is full of archaeological  remains, even North America. The reasons why American and other foreign  archaeologists might choose to undertake research in Turkey instead of in other  countries are more complex than the Turkish public generally realizes. In this  article I examine the motives of American archaeologists who have worked in  Turkey. What they have found will be less important than why they came here in  the first place. Aspects of the problem include the academic/intellectual framework  into which the archaeology of Turkey fits in the United States, socio-political  factors, and changes through time. American archaeology in Turkey is seen to be a  component of US social and intellectual history, but it is a part of the social and  intellectual history of Turkey as well.
