    De la nécessité d’identifier précisément le décor géométrique d’une mosaïque. Une étude de cas
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2016) Parzysz, Bernard
    In published articles, the description of geometric mosaics is generally confined to the Décor’s typology, which is of course indispensable but not always precise enough to identify their geometric properties accurately. However these properties allow an access to the craftsmen’s knowledge in that domain, and beyond that to their professional gestures. Undertaking a sharp geometric study is the only way to reach this goal, but it requires the knowledge of an extensive catalogue of theoretical models including, together with the ‘regular’ types, approximate versions whose implementation was frequently more economical (regarding involved knowledge, time and finally cost). For the chosen example (a mosaic from the Roman villa of Milreu (Portugal), of which only a few fragments remain), the regular geometrical model is confronted with an alternative model already itemized. Then some easily achieved observations about angles and alignments make it possible to decide between the two models, with the possibility of restoring the setting as a consequence.

    A newly discovered mosaic from Myrleia
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2016) Şahin, Derya; Çıtakoğlu, Hazal; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Arkeoloji Bölümü.
    Previously unknown parts of the ancient city of Myrleia which today is located in Mudanya in the province of Bursa, have begun to appear gradually in recent excavations. In 2015 – 2016, excavations were started on the site which was previously declared a third degree site by the Bursa Archaeology Museum Directorate. As a result of the trial trenchings, in addition to structural remains that can be defined as workshops, residential structures built up on the slopes have been determined. These residential buildings on the hillside consist of a row of rooms and provide valuable information about the late period house architecture of the ancient city. The floor of one of these partially uncovered houses is covered with a geometric patterned mosaic floor. In addition to geometric designs on this mosaic, motifs such as kantharos, guilloche, wave pattern and ivy leaves are used together to create a highly visual and artistic composition. The mosaic floor is dated approximately to the 4th century BC.
