Abstract
TURKISH rule over alien peoples had some defects, but it had one merit which is of supreme importance in archaeological eyes. Sporadic outbursts of political fanaticism apart, it left social, religious, and linguistic independence to the different races that were subject to it. Thus it preserved a great deal of material that is valuable to the modern student.
