When megaprojects meet archaeology: a research framework and case study from Yenikapi, Istanbul
ABSTRACT
From 2004-2012, 37 well-preserved Byzantine shipwrecks were discovered during construction of two underground train stations at Yenikapı, Istanbul. Despite its complexity, archaeology is rarely studied through organizational and management lens. The research investigates the Yenikapı rescue excavations using two innovative analytical frameworks for archaeology - the Heritage Chain and Structure Conduct Performance analysis - which highlight the crucial but too often overlooked role of practices (or emerging strategies) in public policy, helping identifying strengths and weaknesses of the project. In this sense, two elements of the system seem fundamental: its extreme centralization and its ongoing process of decentralization. The research, based on a phenomenon-driven approach to management of archaeological and cultural heritage projects, highlights how Turkey’s uncertain legal environment for rescue archaeology led to emergent, ad hoc management and funding solutions that mixed state and private involvement in novel ways through a multi-level outsourcing.
