Abstract

The plundering, looting and neglect of archaeological and heritage sites are quite common in many parts of the world. Turkey is one such country that has a poor record of preservation of archaeological and heritage sites, particularly those of minority ethnic groups and from the prehistoric and ancient periods. In other words, those which are not part of the national/official past of Turkey. The main reason for this is that Turkish formal education neglects the prehistoric and ancient past, and ‘others’ the past of minority groups. This paper will examine and discuss how and to what extent archaeology and heritage related topics are presented in formal education in Turkey, i.e., national, minority groups, prehistoric and ancient pasts and antiquities by analysing the curriculum and textbooks from 2013. Specifically, this paper will demonstrate that history education in schools has a major impact on the development and re-configuration of heritage perception, which can either lead to the protection or neglect of heritage.

遗产感知的发展与重构:历史教科书与课程

在世界许多地方，对考古和遗产遗址的掠夺、掠夺和忽视是相当普遍的。土耳其就是这样一个国家，它在保存考古和遗产遗址方面的记录很差，特别是那些少数民族和史前和古代时期的遗址。换句话说，那些不是土耳其国家/官方过去的一部分。造成这种情况的主要原因是土耳其的正规教育忽视了史前和古代的过去，以及少数民族的“其他”过去。本文将通过分析2013年的课程和教科书，研究和讨论考古学和遗产相关主题如何以及在多大程度上呈现在土耳其的正规教育中，即民族，少数民族，史前和古代的过去和古物。具体而言，本文将证明学校的历史教育对遗产观念的发展和重新配置具有重大影响，这可能导致对遗产的保护或忽视。

期刊介绍： AP: Online Journal in Public Archaeology is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal devoted exclusively to Public Archaeology. Edited by JAS Arqueología, it is freely distributed online in order to enable easy access to research and debates, and to spread the growing realm that is starting to settle into everyday archaeological practice. The aim of this journal is to explore the multiple relations between Archaeology and Society. Archaeology is generally understood as the study of past societies from their remains, and Public Archaeology is the study of the relations between Archaeology and Society in every aspect of daily life (social, economic and political). We are talking about the present of Archaeology and the different issues that surround and affect it. Below is a list of key topics covered: -The economic and political impact of Archaeology. -Archaeology as Popular Culture. -The history and development of Archaeology as a professional activity. -Theoretical issues around the publicity of Archaeology. -The image of Archaeology. -Legal issues affecting archaeological practice and the illicit trade of antiquities. -The presentation of Archaeology to the public. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list of topics, which is why the criteria for the preliminary selection of papers are subject to the topic. This journal has been created with the desire to become a reference in the field of Public Archaeology. Therefore, we encourage all of you working within the realm of Public Archaeology to share your thoughts, experiences and ideas in this open medium for the development of Public Archaeology.
