Another issue that can be added to these examples is the evaluation of the broken ceramics unearthed in archaeological excavations with a sustainable artistic understanding. In this study, it is aimed to revive the broken ceramic pieces with a contemporary artistic attitude by approaching the broken ceramic pieces that were found in archaeological excavations with a sustainable production approach. In this context, museum directors, art historians and archaeologists were contacted to get their ideas and designs were created by approaching these broken ceramic pieces from the perspective of cultural heritage. Thus, it is hoped that the idle broken ceramic pieces, which are our cultural heritage, will be brought together with future generations and that they will make a great contribution to our country by establishing a bridge between the past and the future. It has been argued that the leading role in the solution of this problem, which is essential to bring to our country and future generations, should of course be ceramic artists. In this context, it is planned to bring together ceramic artists in certain periods and organize workshops, symposiums, worhshops and exhibitions where the broken ceramic pieces will be used, and to create contemporary artistic ceramic forms and bring them together with the society.
