Historico-Geographical Research of the Similarities of Fundamental Material Culture between South-West Asia and South-Eastern Europe.

西南亚和东南欧在很早的时候就具有走廊的特征，目前这两个地区的种族和文化都是通过这一走廊相互交流的。此外，东南欧曾经被奥斯曼帝国统治了大约200年，这些地区的物质文化仍然可以看到显著的相似之处。我们目前研究的目的是调查受相互影响影响的相似性，以及在这两个地区的基本物质文化中可能发现的相似性。我们的研究小组所涵盖的地区包括土耳其、南斯拉夫、保加利亚和匈牙利。从研究结果来看，一般来说，在东南欧，土耳其元素在南部更为明显，而在北部则较少。在南斯拉夫中部和南部以及保加利亚，土耳其文化元素在民间器具和服装中存在，并且明显可见，而在匈牙利，土耳其元素在哈布斯堡统治及其文化影响下已经完全被消灭，并且在那里使用的碾磨，纤维生产和浇水技术具有相当的日耳曼性质。我们唯一发现的土耳其性质可能是一个由马驱动的诺里亚，但它被称为“保加利亚轮”，以保加利亚命名。

Both South-west Asia and South-eastern Europe have,form early times, the characteristic of a corridor, through which the races and cultures of these two areas passed cross-currently. And besides, South-eastern Europe having been once ruled for about 200 years by the Ottoman empire, there can still be seen a notable similarity in the material cultures of those areas. The aim of our present research was to investigate such similarities as was effected by mutual influences and as might be detected in the fundamental meterial cultures of these two areas. The areas covered by our research team included Turkey, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Hungary.From the results of the research, it is generally to be said that in South-eastern Europe Turkish elements are more noticeable in the south, but less in the north. In the middle and the south of Yugoslavia and in Bulgaria, Turkish cultural elements subsist and clearly noticeable in folk utensils and garments, while in Hungary Turkish elements have been completely wiped out under the Habsburg rule and its cultural influence, and milling, fiber-producing, and watering techiques in use there are rather of Germanic nature. Our single find of Turkish nature might be a horse-driven noria, but that was called "Bulgar wheel" named after Bulgaria.
