Prof. Dr. Sevil Hatice Baltalı Tırpan and includes Research Asst. Ecehan Aygül Gönül and MSc(c) Ege Şahindokuyucu from Department of Sociology.

 

The project aims to explore the public’s understanding of science to develop effective science communication methods and research ethics. It focuses on assessing the awareness levels of local communities and visitors regarding the preservation of cultural heritage and the role of digital technologies at the Kerkenes excavation site.

 

The Kerkenes Project, where Dr. Baltalı Tırpan serves as the Assistant President, is dedicated to the exploration of the largest ancient Phrygian city before the Hellenistic period, located in Yozgat’s Sorgun district. This groundbreaking initiative utilizes some of the most innovative digital heritage techniques and methods known globally.

 

By integrating digital technologies into archaeological research, the project aims to advance both science communication and the ethical practices surrounding cultural preservation.
