Binbirkilise Revisited: The 1887 Photographs of John Henry Haynes
Abstract
The early Byzantine site of Binbirkilise (the Thousand and One Churches) near Karaman in Lycaonia is best known today from the 1907 documentation by Sir William M. Ramsay and Gertrude Bell. Unknown to them, however, was the visit in 1887 by the American archaeologist John Henry Haynes, who took photographs of Churches 8, 10, 13, 32, and 39. Because of severe damage to the buildings between 1887 and 1907, Haynes’s photographs provide important details of the buildings not available to later scholars.
