Stickiness and slipperiness in Istanbul’s old city jewellery cluster
Stickiness and slipperiness are two extreme socio-economic and institutional conditions under which industrial clusters operate. In much of the economic geography literature, these conditions have been investigated separately. This article challenges this conventional view by developing an alternative framework that utilises some of the basic concepts and approaches of evolutionary thinking and dialectic understanding of agglomeration. With the evidence from Istanbul’s old city jewellery cluster, we argue that stickiness and slipperiness are inextricably tied together and the spatial configuration of clusters is the result of a complicated balance between these two. In Istanbul, these twin conditions are complementary and interact allowing the possibility to transform each other. In the course of cluster evolution, the interactions of the opposite trends result in the emergence of new actions, networks and contexts.

The Early Bronze Age figurine from Hasanoğlan, central Turkey: new archaeometrical insights
The following article discusses the archaeometrical dimension of a well-known Early Bronze Age metal figurine from Hasanoğlan, Turkey, on permanent display in the Anatolian Civilisations Museum in Ankara. The transfer of the object to a new display case allowed for an examination with a portable x-ray fluorescence (P-XRF) device in order to reveal the chemical composition of the statuette and its attached ornaments. The figurine was confirmed to be made of silver. However, it is alloyed with a small but still substantial amount of copper. The applications are basically made of gold, but with a suspected substantial (up to 23%) amount of silver involved. The final section of the article is dedicated to a critical comparison with recently published figurines from Alaca Höyük, together with an archaeological and chronological reappraisal of this unique piece of art. Bu makale, Ankara Anadolu Medeniyetleri Müzesinde sergilenen Erken Bronz Çağına ait ünik eserler arasında kabul edilen Hasanoğlan Metal Figürininin bir arkeometrik çalışmasını içermektedir. Hasanoğlan heykelciğinin, müzede yeni vitrinine taşınması vesilesi ile yapılan Portatif X-Ray Flüoresans (P-XRF) Spektrometresi ölçümleri, figürin ve üzerindeki dekoratif eklentilerin kimyasal bileşimlerini açığa çıkarmıştır. Figürin, az ama safsızlık kabul edilmeyecek oranda bakır metali katılmış gümüş alaşımından yapılmıştır. Eklentiler temel olarak altın metalinden yapılmış olmakla birlikte ölçümlerde hemen altındaki gümüş metalinden de kaynaklanması olası yüksek oranda gümüş içermektedir. Makalenin son bölümü, bu eşsiz sanat eserinin son zamanlarda yayınlanmış Alacahöyük metal figürinleriyle arkeolojik ve kronolojik olarak yeniden değerlendirilmesine ayrılmıştır.

Fibulae in the museum of Ödemis (Western Turkey)
This paper presents about twenty fibulae (18 from Ödemis and 3 from Mardin). The majority of them date to the Iron Age, but 4 are Roman. The Museum of Ödemis preserves brooches coming from various parts of modern Turkey, while the few fibulae of Mardin seem to be of local origin. Generally the fibulae belong to well known and widely distributed types: it is noteworthy that in the region of Mardin fibulae appear that are close to those of Urartian manufacture. The Roman brooches are dated to the early, middle and late Empire. Comparable evidence suggests that most, if not all, depend on the movement and stationing of troops. Given the scarcity of updated work on the spread of Roman brooches in Turkey, this small contribution may offer some guidance.
