Preliminary assessment indicates that many of the columns from the Colonnaded Street survived, but none are in their original upright position. Both the as-found architectural design of the colonnaded street and the structural connections of them are peculiar. The columns are mostly granite yet there are a few marble columns. The column bases and capitals are mostly lost or are not yet found. The connections between the column, column base, and the stylobate are inconsistent. Through a robust collaboration among the engineering and archeology disciplines, this paper presents the initial stage of the site analysis (archeological, architectural, and structural) as well as the design for the re-erection of two columns on column bases sculpted from new marble from a nearby quarry. A literature review on common column re-erection designs is presented and fiber rod-epoxy solutions are compared to titanium rod-cement mortar solutions in terms of structural behavior and long-term resilience based on the available literature.

Oluşum ve gelişimleri açısından oldukça yakın bir tarihsel geçmişe sahip olan her iki bilim dalı, gerek amaç olarak gerekse uygulamada hemen hemen aynı teknik ve yöntemleri kullanır. Bu yazıda, Arkeoloji ve Sanat Tarihi bilim dallarının birlikteliği; hedefleri, ilgi odakları, bilimsel çalışma yöntemleri, bakış açıları, bilime ve topluma katkıları gibi ortak noktaları açısından analiz edilmeye çalışılmaktadır.
Since the middle of the 20 th century, the academic disciplines of Archaeology and Art History have played an important role in the universities of our country, especially from the perspective of setting a good example in terms of common field work. From this viewpoint, it can be seen that these two disciplines intersect in several ways by way of purpose, and in terms of scope and method. Also they share similar historical background by way of formation and developmental processes, and use similar methodology and techniques in practice. In this essay these points of intersection will be analyzed in terms of theory and application.
