Notes on James
Mellaart
|
Genius or fraud, academic or
black marketer, Mellaart is the most
controversial archaeologist of the 20th century.
Credited by some with discovering the oldest
known city in the world James Mellaart was also
expelled from Turkey in a scandal that rocked the
archeology world and was
accused of academic fraud in the Mother Goddess
foolishness.
Mellaart is retired from teaching
at the University of London, and he lives with
his wife Arlette, in north London.
Archeologist noted for his work
at Catel Huyak in Turkey.
Accused of black market activity
and expelled from Turkey.
Was deeply involved in the Mother
goddess in Anatolia controversy and was believed
by many to have made up stories and then passed
them off as true. The problem is that much of
what he wrote is deemed to be true but some work
casts doubt on all.

The Savfet Pasha Yali in Kanlica
By Arlette Mellaart
After years of neglect, the Savfet Pasha Yali became a
much-loved, if leaky, home filled with the sound of
classical music. Arlette Mellaart, who went to live there
ar fifteen, recalls three happy decades spent in this
fragile bohemian setting: her stepfather's haughty
mother, the cats and the rats, the bustling Bosphorus,
the parties, the wartime intrigues, and married life -
all to the accompaniment of her mother's piano-playing.
