The Roman-Period Necropolis of Ariassos, Pisidia
New evidence of Roman tomb architecture from the necropolis at Ariassos in Pisidia demonstrates distinctive features of funerary architecture in the east. Over fifty built tombs are in different states of preservation, allowing identification of some features paralleled at other sites in Pisidia, while some features seem unique to Ariassos itself. The similarity of form of one elaborate tomb to the western podium temple reflects the influence of Roman religious architecture, while other tombs reflect features grown out of indigenous Anatolian traditions. Ariassos was founded in the Hellenistic period, and is located c. 50 km. north of the modern city of Antalya. It minted coins in the late Hellenistic period and contains buildings of Hellenistic date, including a prytaneion, bouleuterion and small temple. The majority of the ruins at the site, however, date to the Imperial period, including an extensive nymphaeum and bath complex, a triple arched gateway dating to the third century A.D., and a substantial domestic area. The site was visited in the 1880s by the Austrian team headed by K. Lanckoronski, who thought that the ruins were those of the site of Cretopolis. A few years later the site was correctly identified by a French epigraphical expedition headed by V. Bérard. The Pisidian Survey project, under British directorship, completed a new city plan, focusing attention on Ariassos after years of neglect. [See Fig. 1.]

Citizens, residents, and guest workers: A transatlantic analysis of immigrant rights and political cleavages
The fundamental argument of this dissertation is that migrant rights are central to understanding the politics of immigration: by defining what migrants can or cannot do in the receiving state, the bundle of rights granted to migrants conditions the effect that migrants have on domestic groups’ interests and therefore which societal groups will favor or oppose immigration liberalization. Increasing migrant rights increases the market, fiscal, and cultural costs of immigration to the right, but decreases the market costs and generates political and cultural benefits to the left. As a result, migrant rights condition preferences over immigration—such that the right (left) should favor (oppose) the admission of migrants with few rights and oppose (favor) the admission of migrants with expansive rights – and immigration policy outcomes—such that immigration reform will focus on increasing the admission of migrants with a limited (broad) set of rights when the right (left) is in government. These policy outcomes will vary in predictable ways under divided government and when policymakers are constrained with respect to the provision of migrant rights. In the first three chapters, I present the puzzle that motivates my project, my critique of the extant literature, my conceptualization of migrant rights as defining societal membership, and the theoretical framework that links migrant rights, societal interests, and immigration policy outcomes. In the following four chapters, I test the expectations of the theoretical chapter in the United States and across the European Union. The first two empirical chapters consider the policy preferences of political actors and immigration policy outcomes in the United States. The second two empirical chapters do so across the European Union. In the concluding chapter, I situate the results of the empirical analysis in the contemporary context, highlight some of the implications for scholarship in both political economy and immigration politics, and consider the compatibility of extending and withholding rights in a liberal democratic society.

A Mausoleum at Ariassos, Pisidia
The funerary architecture of the Imperial period in south-west Anatolia has long been recognized as deserving of attention due to its variety, complexity, and the sheer number of extant tombs. Recently, a preliminary survey at the Pisidian site of Ariassos has revealed the presence of an extensive necropolis containing a large number of well-preserved tombs. One of the best-preserved and most interesting of these tombs is a large funerary monument, a mausoleum, on a tall podium. An analysis of the mausoleum's type, and its probable antecedents, enables us to reconstruct the architectural climate of this provincial city during the Roman Imperial period. The site of Ariassos, in Pisidia, is located approximately 3 km. south-west of the village of Bademaǧacı, 50 km. north of Antalya, and is today clearly signposted off the main road. The identification of the site has been known since the late nineteenth century, when Ariassos was visited in around 1885 by an Austrian team, under the guidance of K. Lanckoronski; however, the ruins were identified as those of the city of Cretopolis. Using inscriptional evidence, a French epigraphic expedition to Asia Minor correctly identified the site in a publication of 1892.
