Abstract:
The British School of Archaeology at Athens was established in 1886,and the Annual of the British School at Athens (abbr. BSA ) was publishedfor the first time in 1895-96. The interest of the School in thehistory and archaeology of Asia Minor has always been vivid and demonstratedby several excavations and researches. This interest was especially strong in the first two decades of our century and in the late 50’s, ascan be seen from the articles published in the BSA (fig. 1). Most of thearticles on Asia Minor have been writen by prominent members of theSchool, like F. W. Hasluck, J. Cook, W. Leaf, H. Ormerod, and A. M.Woodward. These articles deal with a wide range of subjects, includingancient topography, history of religion, and archaeology (architecture,pottery, excavation reports, and notes on numismatics and inscriptions),since prehistoric times; emphasis has, however, been given to the Classicaland Roman periods. Of special interest are Flasluck’s articles on Anatolianfolklore and the Medieval monuments of Asia Minor and hisstudies on ancient and modern religions. J. M. Cook has written aboutthe pottery and topography of Ionia and scholars like Leaf, Ormerod, andWoodward dealt with the topography and the Greek inscriptions fromvarious places of Asia Minor. Most of the articles have been writtenabout Smyrna, Constantinople, and Halikarnassos.The multivariate researches and studies of the British scholars haveseriously increased our knowledge of the history of Asia Minor. They areespecially important for the study of Greek culture and life in Asia Minorover a period of more than three thousand years, from prehistory to moderntimes.
