During the winter of 1936-1937, British archaeologist John Garstang (1876-1956) excavated several trenches at the site of Sirkeli Höyük, located in the Plain of Cilicia (18 km west of modern-day Ceyhan). After a single campaign, however, he left the site and his interest shifted to site of Yumuktepe/Mersin, where he then excavated for a number of years. Apart from two very brief preliminary reports of his excavations at Sirkeli Höyük, which were published in the journal 'Annals of Archaeology and Anthropology of the University of Liverpool', not much is known about the trenches and their associated finds. Unpublished photographs kept in the Special Archives of University College London shed new light on the location and orientation of some of Garstang’s trenches at the site. Furthermore, in the 2012 campaign of the renewed Turkish-Swiss excavations at the site, a trench was found in the western part of the northern terrace that most probably was excavated by Garstang, but was not mentioned by him in his reports. This hitherto unknown trench may be related to his discovery of a lion-shaped column base made of basalt that is now kept in the collections of the Archaeological Museum of Adana.

In this article I argue that the shift from a private to a public–social understanding of religion raises new ontological and epistemological questions for the scientific study of religion\s. These questions are deeply related to three central features of the emic– etic debate, namely the problems of intentionality, objectivity, and comparison. Focusing on these interrelated issues, I discuss the potential of John Searle’s philoso- phy of society for the scientific study of religion\s. Considering the role of intentional- ity at the social level, I present Searle’s concept of “social ontology” and discuss its epistemological implications. To clarify Searle’s position regarding the objectivity of the social sciences, I propose a heuristic model contrasting different stances within the scientific study of religion\s. Finally, I explore some problematic aspects of Searle’s views for a comparative study of religion\s, and sketch a solution within his frame- work. I shall argue that a distinction between the epistemological and ontological dimensions of religious affairs would help clarify the issues at stake in the past and future of the emic–etic debate.

Ist der Geist des Menschen in der Lage, seinen eigenen Körper zu beherrschen? Und kann man sich Gottes Handeln in der Welt in einem Zeitalter der Wissenschaft noch vorstellen? Diese beiden Fragen scheinen zunächst sehr verschieden zu sein, sie haben aber etwas gemeinsam. Beide machen eigentlich keinen Sinn, wenn man davon ausgeht, dass das Universum vollständig von physikalischen Gesetzen determiniert ist. Denn dann gibt es einerseits keinen Platz für Gott, in diesem Universum, wenn es einmal entstanden ist, irgendetwas zu ändern. Andererseits ist dann so etwas wie ein freier Wille des Menschen ebenfalls nicht denkbar. Das freie Handeln eines göttlichen wie jedes menschlichen Akteurs liegt also außerhalb der Vorstellung der heutigen Naturwissenschaft. Eine zumindest im letzteren Falle zugegebenermaßen merkwürdig anmutende Einsicht.
