★ On October 25, Turkey's Constitutional Court ruled that the rights of Can Atalay, the imprisoned parliamentarian from the Workers' Party of Turkey, were violated due to the authorities' refusal to release him despite being elected in the May elections.
Atalay is among the eight people that a Turkish court convicted for allegedly organizing and supporting the 2013 countrywide anti-government protests, known as the Gezi Park protests. The court sentenced him to 18 years in prison for "aiding and attempting to overthrow the government."
The Constitutional Court, by a 9-5 majority vote, determined that violations encompassed not only his "right to vote and be elected" but also the "personal security and liberty."
On October 28, after seeing that the Justice and Development Party administration had still not released Atalay, friends and colleagues held a protest at the Çağlayan Courthouse, calling for the prompt implementation of the Constitutional Court's decision.
Can Atalay is a prominent human rights lawyer and a member of the Workers' Party of Turkey. He has defended many activists, journalists, academics, and politicians who have faced prosecution for their dissenting views or participation in protests.

★ Archaeologists discovered a goddess statue believed to be around 5000 years old at the Yeşilova Mound in İzmir, western Turkey.
The figurine, crafted from baked clay materials, measures approximately 4 inches in height and is similar to others found on the Greek island of Lesbos. However, the one found in Turkey is 500 years older than the Lesbos one.
Dr. Zafer Derin, the head of the excavations and a professor at the Ege University Archaeology Department, described the goddess as depicted as a naked woman with hair neatly gathered at the back.

★ During the rescue excavations at the Körzüt Fort in the Muradiye district of Van province in eastern Turkey, archaeologists found two cuneiform inscriptions and a 2,800-year-old Urartian Susi temple.
Susi Temple is a square, single-chambered tower-like building.
Körzüt is the Turkish name for the Urartian fort located on a rock spur.
The inscriptions on the fort write that Urartian king Minua had it built.
Dr. Sabahattin Erdoğan, a professor of archaeology at Yüzüncü Yıl University, leads the rescue excavations.
Dr. Erdoğan said they identified another temple similar to the Susi temple last year at the location. He said that this is unusual.
The plastered mud bricks found at the site feature blue plaster typical of Urartian temples, and archaeologists speculate that mythological scenes carved in brown or black might be present on these blocks.
Urartu was an Iron Age kingdom centered around Lake in what is now Eastern Turkey.
Urartu frequently warred with Assyria and became, for a time, the most powerful state in the Near East. Weakened by constant conflict, the Iranian Medes eventually conquered them in the early 6th century BCE.
They spoke a non-Indo-European, non-Semitic language.

★ Last year, preservation experts failed "nano lime" with syringes to protect the tiny cracks on the stone statues on Mount Nemrut in Adıyaman, located in the southeastern region of Turkey. Authorities announced this year that the application gave positive results.
The 2000-year-old statues developed cracks over time. They are on the east and west terraces of Mount Nemrut at a height of 7000 feet.
Gaziantep Restoration and Conservation Regional Laboratory Director Ayşe Ebru Çorbaşı and the restorers filled the sandstone body of the Eagle statue on the East terrace and the feet and body of Herakles, the son of Zeus, on the West terrace.
Commagene King Antiochus I had the statues built in 62 BCE.
UNESCO declared Mount Nemrut a World Heritage site in 1987.
Commagene was an ancient Greco-Iranian kingdom ruled by a Hellenized branch of the Iranian Orontid dynasty that had ruled over what is now Eastern Turkey between 163 BCE and 72 CE.
The kingdom was in and around the ancient city of Samosata, which served as its capital. The Iron Age name of Samosata, Kummuh, probably gives its name to Commagene.

★ Istanbul's Zeytinburnu district is now host to a mosaic museum. It is currently displaying late Roman and early Byzantine mosaics from the fifth century BCE found in the area.
The museum building, built as a hospital for workers at a military weapons factory, dates back to the 19th century. In 2015, when renovating the structure, work crews found the mosaics 4.5 feet below the ground floor level.
Later excavations found the remaining portion of the mosaics away from the building, bringing the total area to 2100 square feet.
Archaeologists also found a carved stone grave with two skeletons carbon dated two second century CE. One of the skeletons belonged to a 40-50-year-old man, and the other to a 30-40-year-old woman. The Middle Eastern Technical University experts continue with DNA tests on the skeletons.

★ Archaeologists found a grave, estimated to be twelve thousand years old, during excavations in Direkli Cave in Kahramanmaraş, in southeastern Turkey.
Dr. Cevdet Merih Erek, head of the excavation and a professor of archaeology at the Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University, said that they had to carry out the work with fewer people this year due to the February earthquakes centered at Kahramanmaraş.
Stating that they reached the third grave at the site since 2007, Erek said that they found the first grave in 2009, the second grave with a skeleton inside in 2019, and the last grave in 2023.
Archaeologists think that the graves belonged to a hunter-gatherer community.

★ Yapı Kredi Museum hosts the exhibition "In Pursuit of an Ideal: Atatürk and Alaca Höyük." It features archaeological artifacts unearthed during the excavations at Alaca Höyük.
The curator of the exhibition, In Pursuit of an Ideal: Atatürk and Alaca Höyük, prepared specifically for the 100th anniversary of the Republic, was Nihat Tekdemir, and its scientific advisor was Tayfun Yıldırım.
Nihat Tekdemir, the exhibition curator, stated that a significant part of the artifacts were unearthed in 1935 and preserved in different museums in Turkey.
As part of the exhibition, organizers moved a significant part of the artifacts unearthed during the Alaca Höyük excavations temporarily to the Yapı Kredi Museum.
It is the first time that these artifacts are on an exhibition together and said, "In the exhibition, elegantly crafted silver inlaid bronze deer and bull statues belonging to the Hatti civilization.
"There are archaeological artifacts belonging to the Hittites, who emerged on the stage of history in Anatolia after the Hattians, as well as sun discs, idols, gold jewelry, jugs, goblets," he added.
The Hattians were an ancient Bronze Age people that inhabited the land of Hatti in central Anatolia in modern Turkey. They spoke a distinctive Hattian language, which was neither Semitic nor Indo-European.
Faced with Hittite expansion starting in 2000 BCE, by 1700 BCE, Hattians were gradually absorbed into the new political and social order imposed by the Hittites, one of the Indo-European-speaking Anatolian peoples.
The Hittites kept the country name, "land of Hatti," unchanged, which also became the designation for the Hittite state.

★ Other headlines in the archaeological news:
- Turkish archaeologists deciphered how the ancients repaired a broken 4000-year-old earthenware container. They made holes in the broken pieces and used lead rings to hold them together!
- In excavations at the Tripolis Ancient City in Turkey's Western province of Denizli's Buldan district, archaeologists found a 600-foot-long trench. They determined that the occupying Greek troops dug it during the Turkish War of Independence.
- During the archaeological excavations in Yassı Höyük in the Afşin district of Kahramanmaraş province in southeastern Turkey, archaeologists reached under the Roman period layer, discovering architectural remains with fine features. The layer is from the Achaemenids, which established a state spread over large areas approximately 2,600 years ago until Alexander the Great destroyed it.
- Also in Afşin, but at a different site, archaeologists found a 1500-year-old mosaic floor. The mosaic features peacocks, gazelles, and floral ornamentation. It is bordered by a rectangle that features waves and, at the very perimeter, floral and diamond-shaped elements.
- In excavations in the 1400-year-old cistern in Karacahisar fortress in Eskişehşehir province in central Turkey, archaeologists found coins, ceramic and glass shards, and bone fragments.
There were 1288 coins belonging to the Byzantine, early Ottoman, Germiyanoğulları, Aydınoğulları, Menteşeoğulları, Karamanoğulları principalities, as well as the lord of Lesbos, Francesco II Gattilusio, and the voivode of Wallachia, Mircea. The findings shed light on the formation and change processes in Ottoman history in the context of both trade and military relations.
