## Resource

In this episode of the Heritage Türkiye Podcast, archaeologist and architectural historian Dr. Stuart Blaylock reflects on more than forty years of work in Türkiye. From his early excavations at Tille Höyük to later rescue projects at Gre Amer, Dr. Blaylock discusses what rescue archaeology reveals about the Iron Age in northern Mesopotamia, the challenges of excavating sites threatened by dam construction, and what happens to both landscapes and communities when heritage is submerged. The conversation also explores archival memory, displacement, and Dr. Blaylock's long-standing relationship with the British Institute at Ankara, offering a reflective look at archaeology, loss, and continuity.
