The doyen of Turkish archaeology, Professor Halet Çambel, who died on Jan. 12 last year aged 98, was honored by Google with a doodle for her birthday on Aug. 27. 

The awe-inspiring discovery of a Byzantine basilica in İznik and a massive underground city near Cappadocia bookended 2014, but the year also brought with it times of triumph in the cultural sphere, as well as farewells to doyens of archaeology.
