Summary
In this episode Professor Jim Crow, chair of the British Institute at Ankara and Emeritus Professor of Roman and Byzantine Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh talks about his research on ancient water structures and their significance for today in the Türkiye and Black Sea region. Professor Crow underlines some key issues such as the continued use of these structures throughout the centuries, their outstanding engineering and the workforce that these ambitious building projects relied on. Among the examples that Professor Crow draws on include familiar landmarks of Istanbul, such as Aqueduct of Valens (Bozdoğan Kemeri), and the Underground Cistern (Yerebatan Sarayı).
