Tsetskhladze(†) and Şahin Yıldırım Tios/Tieion was intended to be a publication of the proceedings of a conference held at Filyos (ancient Tios/ Tieion) in 2020. The conference had to be cancelled in common with other events due to Covid 19, though with the hope that it might take place eventually, a hope undermined by the sudden and premature death of Gocha Tsetskhladze, the co-organiser. Instead, we have a volume of 'Precedings', written when thoughts of the conference had not yet been abandoned. Several of the papers focus on aspects of Tios itself (the Acropolis, the Lower City and Coin Finds, written by scholars involved in the excavation). Its place in ancient geography and cartography is considered before we move on to the indigenous inhabitants of the surrounding area, the immediate and greater region (Paphlagonian Hadrianopolis, Hadrian's visit to the region, the nature of the Phrygian kingdom), then the Turkish Black Sea region (rock-cut tunnels, Roman Heraclea Pontica, St John Chrysostom's Monastery), and outwards to the western, northern and eastern shores of the Black Sea, their inhabitants and hinterlands (monumental architecture in the temenos of Apollonia Pontica; Archaic Greek transport amphorae in the Getic hinterland; early Greek pottery in settlements and burials of the northern Black Sea region; the house of Pythes at Berezan; the Sindoi; religious customs at Tarasova Balka; the Mordvinovskii Barrow; and finally Greeks and locals in Pichvnari in Colchis). Overall, there are 21 chapters and 27 authors, drawn from Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Bulgaria and beyond. Gocha Tsetskhladze (PhD Moscow, DPhil Oxford) was a classical archaeologist who specialised in ancient Greek colonisation and the archaeology of the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, Caucasia, Anatolia, and Central and Eastern Europe in the 1st millennium BC. He was the author of more than 250 books, edited volumes, chapters, articles, etc.; founder and series editor of the publication series Colloquia Pontica, now Colloquia Antiqua; and founder and editor-in-chief of the journal Ancient West and East. He organised many international conferences, congresses, etc., notably the International Congress on Black Sea Antiquities which he established in 1995. He died suddenly on 11 September 2022, aged 59.

He goes on to say, she had learned about and loved what is above the ground as much as she could and transformed this into a warm and loving relationship with the people she worked with during her excavations at Karatepe. Throughout the excavations starting from 1950s Çambel had indeed established close relations with the locals and especially women, reintroduced kilim weaving, an almost forgotten handicraft by then, supported the locals to continue production in traditional ways, emphasized women's power in society and helped local culture flourish through traditional handicrafts. Today, many archaeological excavations make an effort to establish a healthy relationship with the local people they are in touch with. One of the main activities within this frame is educational workshops directed towards increasing protection of cultural heritage. They have also been supporting production of local goods targeting local development through tourism. While these efforts are valuable, their sustainability seems to be a must for their success. At Komana, near Tokat we have also been conducting educational and other activities with women and children since 2009 in the context of our archaeological work. The most significant among these is certainly the foundation of an NGO under the name Komana Local Development Association with the purpose of sustainable development and preservation of archaeological heritage. In this paper, the relationship between local culture and archaeology will be analyzed with an emphasis on the humanitarian and prospective outlook of Halet Çambel.

In 2015 preliminary results, including information on the 17th-18th-century Ottoman village, 12th-early 14th-century Danishmend/Seljuk fortified settlement and 11th-12th-century Middle Byzantine churches with an associated graveyard, were published as an interdisciplinary monograph. Since then, the excavations have revealed evidence regarding earlier periods at the site. In this paper, this earlier evidence is presented with the hopes of a better understanding of Komana during the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods.
