Title: The Urban Development of Sagalassos
Subtitle: Building History and Settlement Pattern
Description: This study aims to reconstruct the urban development of Sagalassos from a twofold perspective. Firstly, the evolution of the urban planning and the building history of the town are investigated, through the study of the urban infrastructure and of the public and private architecture. Secondly, the occupation pattern of the town is studied, from the earliest evidenced period until Early-Byzantine times, when Sagalassos was abandoned. Explanations for this evolution are established by relating the urban evidence to the wider socio-economical and ecological situation in which the town developed.
