[snip] Brian Rose has had the good fortune to direct or co-direct excavations at two legendary sites in Turkey- Troy and Gordion. The fieldwork that he conducted over the course of the last 25 years has continually required him to assess the most effective strategies for presenting the findings to the public and scholarly community. In this talk, Brian Rose attempts to place his own work at these sites in historiographic perspective, highlighting the positive and negative aspects of the projects, with a focus on the extent to which regional, national, and global developments have shaped our research agendas. Brian also reflects on the discipline of archaeology in Turkey and the Near East. [/snip]
