Summary
In this episode of Heritage Türkiye, we speak with Dr. Gül Pulhan, an archaeologist and heritage professional whose work spans salvage excavations, museum practice, and cultural heritage protection in Türkiye and beyond. From salvage excavations at Gre Amer, Batman during the Ilısu Dam campaigns to directing the SARAT (Safeguarding Archaeological Assets of Turkey, 2017–2020) project at the British Institute at Ankara, Dr. Pulhan reflects on the challenges of managing archaeological heritage in times of rapid change. Drawing on long-term experience across academia, museums, and civil society, the conversation explores education, policy, and practice, and asks what responsible heritage protection looks like today — and what lessons SARAT leaves for the future for institutions, professionals, and communities alike.
