Churches carved into the rock have a story to tell. Despite their large number world-wide, they have not received as much attention as masonry-built churches in archaeological studies. This situation is usually explained by the difficulty to date these structures, by the lack of knowledge on their place within local historical landscapes and on their biography as living heritage. These issues have prevented researchers from using rock-cut churches as valuable sources to investigate the Christian communities and the settlement history of their landscape. The innovative project Rock-cut Architecture and Christian Communities in Turkey, from Late Antiquity to 1923 (RACCTURK), focuses on these issues by developing a mix-method approach and asking original questions: How much do rock-cut churches contribute to the understanding of economic structure, social networks and occupation strategies of religious rural communities over time? The project will take place in Cappadocia (Turkey), focusing on the valley of Koramaz - inscribed on the tentative list of UNESCO - where a dense network of rock-cut churches is preserved as well as built and rock-cut monuments from Antiquity until the departure of the Christian communities from the region in 1923. The project' multi-method merges historical landscape characterization method, building archaeology, social anthropology, geology and geomatics. It aims to provide researchers with methodological and theoretical landmarks to reconsider rock-cut churches as valuable archaeological sources. RACCTURK will promote Cultural Heritage and Intangible Cultural Heritage for the benefit of rural communities, strengthen the research exchanges between European and Turkish scholars as well as partnership between private and academic sectors in the Cultural Heritage promotion. By providing digital tools on the Cappadocian Christian Cultural Heritage, RACCTURK will help to develop sustainable tourism oriented towards European citizens.

雕刻到岩石的教堂有一个故事要讲。尽管在全球范围内，他们在考古学研究中仍未受到砌体建造的教堂的关注。这种情况通常是由于在当地历史景观中缺乏知识的知识以及其作为生存的传统所缺乏的知识，而难以与这些结构约会的困难来解释。这些问题阻止了研究人员将岩石教堂作为对基督教社区及其景观定居历史进行调查的宝贵资料。从古代到1923年（Raccturk），土耳其的创新项目岩石建筑和基督教社区通过开发混合方法方法并提出原始问题，重点介绍了这些问题：岩石界教堂对经济结构，社会网络，社会网络和宗教农村社区的理解有何贡献？该项目将在卡帕多西亚（土耳其）举行，重点关注科拉马兹山谷（刻在联合国教科文组织的暂定清单上），在那里保留了密集的岩石教堂网络，并从古代构建和建造和岩石古迹，直到1923年基督教社区的离职。地理。它旨在为研究人员提供方法论和理论地标，以重新考虑岩石教堂作为宝贵的考古资源。 Raccturk将促进文化遗产和无形的文化遗产，以使农村社区受益，加强欧洲和土耳其学者之间的研究交流，以及在文化遗产促进中的私人与学术部门之间的伙伴关系。通过在卡帕多西亚基督教文化遗产上提供数字工具，Raccturk将有助于发展针对欧洲公民的可持续旅游业。
