| dc.description.abstract | It is known that traditional Ottoman culture has always discriminated women in everyday life as well as in the workplace. However, with the foundation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, modernisation studies have been started throughout the country. This “modern movement” has led to change the perception of gender discrimination. One of the important Republican reforms was equality of women and men. Thus, the achievements of women have been getting visible since then. Although in the last period of the Ottoman Empire, the prevalence of archaeology was understood, archaeological research had a limited place in the architectural context. However, after the Republican reforms, archaeology world saw the first woman figure as well as one of the most important archaeologists, Halet Çambel. In 1938, she received her undergraduate degree in archaeology from the Sorbonne University in Paris. Then she came back to Turkey and started working at Istanbul University. Her career has gained a remarkable advance with the excavation of Karatepe-Arslantaş Mound at the southern side of Turkey. In the present days, these excavations, which continued under Çambel’s leadership, are known as the site where Hittite hieroglyphs became understandable. She also was leading the conservation and restoration studies of the archaeological finds. Therefore, she established an open-air museum which is the first for Turkey. Çambel’s achievements were not limited to archaeology. She was also teaching at Istanbul University and she contributed to the creation of a modern method of archaeological research in Turkey. This paper examines the achievements of Halet Çambel on her particular legacy. The focus of the paper is to investigate the influences of Modern Movement to Halet Çambel’s career. By doing such analysis, women achievements in the architecture and archaeology after the foundation of the Republic of Turkey are discussed. | en_US |
