Tuba&nbsp;\u00d6kse&nbsp;is considered a truly distinguished Turkish archaeology scholar who has achieved widespread international acclaim. Affiliated with&nbsp;Kocaeli&nbsp;University, she has completed and continues to lead&nbsp;numerous&nbsp;projects, expanding from Hittite sanctuaries in central&nbsp;T\u00fcrkiye&nbsp;to the earliest Neolithic sites along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in Upper Mesopotamia, enhancing our knowledge of Anatolian cultures and civilizations for the past four decades. To celebrate Prof.&nbsp;\u00d6kse\u2019s&nbsp;outstanding academic legacy, which has been praised by the national and international community alike, colleagues, students and friends have compiled a Festschrift aptly titled \u201cFrom the&nbsp;Halys&nbsp;to the Euphrates&nbsp;and Tigris: In the Footsteps of Cultures and Civilizations. Studies in&nbsp;Honour&nbsp;of A. Tuba&nbsp;\u00d6kse\u201d for her 65th birthday. The editorial committee includes Assoc. Prof. Thomas Zimmermann of the Department of Archaeology and former&nbsp;Bilkent&nbsp;Archaeology graduate student Dr.&nbsp;\u015eakir&nbsp;Can (now&nbsp;Kocaeli&nbsp;University, Department of Archaeology). The admiration and respect for Prof.&nbsp;\u00d6kse&nbsp;is well reflected in 907 pages of essays&nbsp;showcasing&nbsp;a wide range of topics that the laureate inspired. Particularly noteworthy are the articles authored by Prof.&nbsp;\u00d6kse\u2019s&nbsp;PhD supervisor, distinguished Near Eastern archaeologist Prof.&nbsp;Hartmut&nbsp;K\u00fchne, and retired&nbsp;Bilkent&nbsp;Archaeology faculty member Dr. Marie-Henriette Gates, who both contributed with original studies of previously unpublished materials. The ingenuity of these and all the other contributions will make this book a landmark resource for future research on Anatolian and Mesopotamian archaeology alike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is available at&nbsp;Bilgin&nbsp;Publishers: <strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bilginyayinevi.com\/a-tuba-okseye-armagan-kizilirmaktan-firat-ve-dicleye-kulturlerin-ve-uygarliklarin-izinde\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bilginyayinevi.com\/a-tuba-okseye-armagan-kizilirmaktan-firat-ve-dicleye-kulturlerin-ve-uygarliklarin-izinde\">https:\/\/www.bilgin<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bilginyayinevi.com\/a-tuba-okseye-armagan-kizilirmaktan-firat-ve-dicleye-kulturlerin-ve-uygarliklarin-izinde\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bilginyayinevi.com\/a-tuba-okseye-armagan-kizilirmaktan-firat-ve-dicleye-kulturlerin-ve-uygarliklarin-izinde\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bilginyayinevi.com\/a-tuba-okseye-armagan-kizilirmaktan-firat-ve-dicleye-kulturlerin-ve-uygarliklarin-izinde\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bilginyayinevi.com\/a-tuba-okseye-armagan-kizilirmaktan-firat-ve-dicleye-kulturlerin-ve-uygarliklarin-izinde\">yayinevi.com\/a-tuba-okseye-armagan-kizilirmaktan-firat-ve-dicleye-kulturlerin-ve-uygarliklarin-izinde<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. A.
