Budget Estimate and Quantities, Drawing of Architecture, Restoration, Survey, and Restitution Projects

• Prepared budget estimates and material quantities for restoration and restitution projects.
• Conducted architectural drawings and surveys with a focus on cultural heritage sites.
• Supervised and documented laboratory processes, including artifact analysis, stabilization, and material preservation.

Preparing for Excavation Materials, Underwater Survey, and Works

• Led teams in underwater excavation projects, managing logistics, safety protocols, and task delegation.
• Directed project management activities, including planning, execution, and reporting for underwater archaeological surveys and recovery operations.
• Conducted detailed analyses of recovered artifacts, including typological, material, and contextual evaluations to support archaeological interpretations.

Drawing of architecture, restoration, survey, and restitution projects from cultural heritage areas (with point cloud).)

• Developed architectural and restoration projects by integrating AutoCAD with Point Cloud technology to ensure precise and detailed documentation.
• Utilized advanced digital tools to create accurate 3D models and restitution plans for cultural heritage conservation.

Preparing for Excavation Materials, Underwater Survey, and Works

• Played a pivotal role in the underwater archaeological excavation at the Limantepe site, focusing on the retrieval and documentation of artifacts from the Archaic period.
• Led the extraction of submerged artifacts, including the careful removal of a column piece from underwater to the surface using advanced dredging techniques.
• Conducted detailed cleaning, conservation, and restoration of recovered artifacts, ensuring their long-term preservation and stability.
• Supervised months-long laboratory processes, analyzing archaeological materials to contribute to a deeper understanding of their historical context and cultural significance.
• These efforts formed the foundation of my Master’s thesis, which focused on the underwater documentation and conservation of the world’s first known breakwater structure. The project significantly shaped my academic and professional journey, providing expertise in both field and laboratory methodologies.
• Collaborated with interdisciplinary teams, combining underwater excavation techniques with laboratory analyses to produce a comprehensive study of submerged cultural heritage.

Chemical and Physical Analysis of Historical Building Parts

• Conducted comprehensive chemical and physical analyses of organic and inorganic materials recovered from both terrestrial and underwater archaeological sites, including artifacts from historical buildings.
• Performed detailed laboratory work on a wide range of materials, including conducting protein and salt analyses, as well as microscopic sectioning to evaluate material composition and degradation.
• Engaged in microbiological studies to understand the biological factors affecting the preservation of artifacts, ensuring a holistic approach to conservation.
• Participated in laboratory processes throughout the internship period, contributing to the documentation and reporting of analysis results, and providing critical data for the preservation and restoration of archaeological materials.
• These analyses were essential in understanding the long-term stability and conservation needs of artifacts, significantly contributing to the field of archaeological material science.
