Kisbali","doi":"10.18688/aa2111-01-06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18688/aa2111-01-06","url":null,"abstract":"Rock-cut monuments in Anatolia are represented by a wide variety of artificially modified rocky outcrops and stone surfaces. These peculiar places, especially the figurative reliefs and the rock-cut architecture, have attracted plenty of attention — both now and in the past. This is, after all, one of the key aspects of rock-cut monuments: that they are integrated into the landscape, which leads to a continuous interaction with all inhabitants of the territory, even after the loss of their original function, meaning and connotations. Rock-cut features could serve several functions: domestic (foundations for buildings or installations like presses), funerary (cistor chamber tombs), cultic (platforms, altars, monuments for the focus or framing of religious activities). It is this last subset that I would like to examine in my article, in particular the group of monuments which can be called “thrones”. It has to be pointed out, though, that “thrones” are not a strictly defined category of landscape monuments, but rather an intuitive descriptor applied to a range of modified natural stones. At first glance, this is a self-evident category: a natural outcrop cut to resemble a seat; with armrests and a higher back. But this design and seemingly self-explanatory identification shouldn’t be automatically correlated with function. In the existing classification systems, “thrones” are usually included as a variation or symbolic reference point of stepped altars. For example, in Phrygia, where the variety of rock-cut “installations” is the highest, a number of classification systems exist, developed by scholars such as Emily Haspels, Géza de Francovich, Taciser Tüfekçi Sivas, Susanne Berndt-Ersöz and Rahşan Tamsü Polat. Tamsü Polat’s system is based on the formal characteristics of rock-cut altars with important distinctions made according to the placement of the semi-circular “idol” on the top step. The “throne” designation is relegated to “Type II c”, which features “two protrusions on the sides, similar to arm-rests” [25, pp. 207–208]. In Susanne Berndt-Ersöz’s monograph “Phrygian Rock-cut Shrines” (2006), it is stressed that “throne” is not a systemic category, but an interpretative framework [4, pp. 194–196]. However, she agrees that “step monuments recall divine thrones” [4, pp. 174–175, 194]. The interpretation of these monuments as “thrones” has an allure: it allows scholars to include the Anatolian monuments in the broader context of Near Eastern and ancient Greek cultic practices. For these areas we have more sources, so a comparative approach can be pursued1.","PeriodicalId":37578,"journal":{"name":"Actual Problems of Theory and History of Art","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67762369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The city of Xanthos was rediscovered by the English explorer Charles Fellows in 1838. The first “official” excavations started in 1842 and resulted the same year in the shipment to London of numerous sculpted fragments, architectural blocks, and statues belonging to the major funerary monuments of the site, most of them from the Nereid Monument. More fragments were shipped in 1843 to the British Museum to be exhibited in the “Lycian room” of the Museum. At the end of the 19th century, between 1892 and 1894, the Austrian scholars Niemann and Benndorf carried out an epigraphic survey in Lycia and brought back to Vienna the squeezes of the inscriptions on stone they discovered and that were to be published in the Tituli Asiae Minoris. From 1950 (Xanthos) and 1962 (Létôon) on, French archaeologists explored the sites and published several monographs in the series Fouilles de Xanthos as well as hundreds of articles in different reviews. The collaboration with Quebec epigraphists started in 2000 and lasted until 2010 when the Turkish authorities decided to withdraw the excavation permission from France. We then had to decide how to deal with the large volume of more than 160 years of archives and research data, taking into account their dispersion (London, Liverpool, Vienna, Paris, Bordeaux, Quebec) and the variety of knowledge they contain. In 2016, we answered to a call of proposal (French ANR-FRSCQ Quebec) in the field of Digital Humanities and obtained a funding for the ArchXant project labeled “Archaeological and epigraphic research in the era of digital humanities: a Franco-Quebec project in archiving, exploiting, and disseminating knowledge”. ArchXant is at the heart of new problems which faces today the world of archaeologists and epigraphists: for the sake of future research how","PeriodicalId":37578,"journal":{"name":"Actual Problems of Theory and History of Art","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67762626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
