ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />

First of all, I would like to express my special gratitude to Dr. İlknur Özgen, who<br />

suggested that I study on the Antakya Sarcophagus. Without her, this project<br />

would not come into being. I also would like to express my special thanks to my<br />

thesis advisor, Dr. Julian Bennett, who revised the text many times, <strong>and</strong> who was<br />

more than kind to come with me to Antakya, where we took photographs <strong>and</strong><br />

discussed the matter. He was always encouraging to argue what I believe. I also<br />

would like to thank my teachers in the department, Dr. Jean Greenhalgh, <strong>and</strong> Dr.<br />

Jacques Morin, for their effort in answering my questions, <strong>and</strong> Dr. Charles Gates,<br />

for his advice in writing a paper, which I tried to follow. Moreover, I express my<br />

thanks to the thesis committee members, Dr. Marie-Henriette Gates <strong>and</strong> Dr.<br />

Andrew Goldman for their insights <strong>and</strong> constructive critics. I also would like to<br />

thank Dr. Fahri Işık, Dr. Havva İşkan Işık <strong>and</strong> Dr. R.R.R. Smith who spent their<br />

precious time for helping me with their invaluable suggestions.<br />

I am also grateful to my parents for their underst<strong>and</strong>ing when I was stressed <strong>and</strong><br />

my brother for his technical support. Finally, I would like to express my special<br />

gratitude to <strong>Uğraş</strong> <strong>Uzun</strong>, who accompanied me to Antakya in a terribly cold<br />

weather, <strong>and</strong> produced helpful ideas in every step of this thesis. Without his<br />

morale support, I could not have finished this study.<br />
