Sualtı Arkeolojisi denildiği zaman dünyada akla gelen ilk isim, hiç kuşkusuz Prof. Dr. George Bass'tır. Gelidonya Burnu'ndaki dünyanın en eski batığında yaptığı kazı, bilimsel nitelikte dünyada yapılan ilk arkeolojik sualtı kazısıdır. Sualtında haritalama ve dekomprasyon teknikleri geliştirmesi, dünyanın ilk sivil amaçlı denizaltısını yaptırması, sualtı arkeoloji enstitüsünü kurması ve aralarında Türklerin de bulunduğu dünyanın önde gelen sualtı arkeologlarını yetiştirmesi onun öncü kişiliğinin bir parçasıdır. Yazarın 50 yıl önce başlayan ve hâlâ devam eden Türkiye macerası, aynı zamanda bir bilim dalının da birinci elden anlatılan gelişim öyküsüdür. "Şu anda 67 yaşında, suyun 42 ile 45 metre altındaki batığa günde iki kez dalış yapıyor ve suyun altında geçirdiğim her dakikanın tadını çıkarıyorum... Kitabımı okuyacak Türklere özellikle söylemek isterim ki; yaptığım her şey, akademik kariyerimde başardığım her şey, Türkiye'nin bana kucak açması ve burada çalışmama izin vermesi sayesinde oldu." diyen George F. Bass, konukseverliğimiz ve dostluğumuz için teşekkür ediyor.

Excerpt from Quotations and Select Stories for Opening Exercises in SchoolsWhere can I get suitable selections to read as a part of my opening exercise?This question has been asked by many teachers. Attempts to answer it suggested the preparation of this little book.Froebel says: The story brings forward other people, other relations, other times and places, other and quite different forms; notwithstanding this fact the auditor seeks his own image, he sees it, yet no body can say to him, 'it is your own image.' Much care has been taken to select such stories as will show the pupil his better self and impress him with it.Stories that. Suggest the bad have been left out of this book. They are believed to be harmful, because they often suggest the doing of bad things the boy never would have thought of had he not read it in the story.It is thought best to present these stories and selec tions without remarks from the compiler.A teacher may, with profit, make each selection the basis of an informal talk with the pupils, not at them.There has been no attempt made to grade the selections, as most of them, with a slight modification, that any teacher can make, may be used in any grade.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Archaeology Beneath the Sea by George H. Bass (1975) Hardcover

This book forms a final report on the underwater excavations I directed at Yassi Ada, Turkey, during the summers of 1961 through 1964 for the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. The excavation was the first to have been completed on the floor of the Mediterranean of a wreck with substantial hull remains. This pioneering work required the ingenuity, effort, and generosity of many people and institutions. The seventh- century ship was chosen for primary excavation not only for its lesser depth, which allowed longer working dives, but also because Throckmorton had uncovered traces of its timbers just beneath the sand and because it was more intelligible from the outset: a stack of concreted iron anchors, lying across the cargo at its upper end, suggested the forward part of the ship pointing up the slope, toward Yassi Ada, while a mass of broken terra-cotta tiles and cooking ware suggested the galley—and, presumably, the stern—at the deeper end of the site.

For almost a millennium, a modest wooden ship lay underwater off the coast of Serçe Limani, Turkey, filled with evidence of trade and objects of daily life. The ship, now excavated by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University, trafficked in both the Byzantine and Islamic worlds of its time. The ship is known as “the Glass Wreck” because its cargo included three metric tons of glass cullet, including broken Islamic vessels, and eighty pieces of intact glassware. In addition, it held glazed Islamic bowls, red-ware cooking vessels, copper cauldrons and buckets, wine amphoras, weapons, tools, jewelry, fishing gear, remnants of meals, coins, scales and weights, and more.  This first volume of the complete site report introduces the discovery, the methods of its excavation, and the conservation of its artifacts. Chapters cover the details of the ship, its contents, the probable personal possessions of the crew, and the picture of daily shipboard life that can be drawn from the discoveries.

For almost a millennium, a modest wooden ship lay underwater off the coast of Serçe Limani, Turkey, filled with evidence of trade and objects of daily life. The ship, now excavated by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&amp;M University, trafficked in both the Byzantine and Islamic worlds of its time. Known as "the Glass Wreck," it bore cargo that included three metric tons of glass cullet, including broken Islamic vessels and eighty pieces of intact glassware, along with various artifacts of ship life. This second volume of the discovery’s investigation focuses on the excavation, conservation, and study of the glass found in the wreckage. The extensive catalog will be a valuable tool for archaeologists and scholars of Islamic glass and Islamic trade. Further, the systematic methodology and presentation of such a large undertaking will serve as a model for future study across many disciplines.

It began in 1960. Two years earlier, Bodrum sponge diver Kemal Aras had described to American jojurnalist Peter Trhockmorton a sunken cargo of metal lying off Cape Gelidonya. Peter dived on the side in 1959. Recongnised it as the remains of a Bronze Age shipwreck , and reported it to the University of Pennsylvania, famed for its archaeological excavations. Soon afterward the university, where I was a doctoral candidate, asked me if I would learn to dive in order to direct the excavation of the wreck. I was delighted by the opportunity to return to Turkey, which I had first visited in 1953 as a university undergraduate. I did not dream that Kemal Aras's discovery would lead to the establishment of one of the world's great museums of underwater archaeology.
